Wow, my first time seeing a review by you Dave, very informative, excellent points, and I love the "Double Dave" part of the video. It provides me with an actual comparison on what I needed, thank you for your video. Excellent job, keep em comin!
This is great for Uber. I just bought one. And that back seat is comfortable at least for 10 mins rides around town. I was very impressed in my test drive. Very well rounded vehicle. Love that the sec row can move forward and backwards. Looks brand new. Nice leather, fun to drive. It feels fancy without spending max money for some lux and extra space.
Dave, great reviews that helped us decide for the Mazda. I was good for the new Mitsubishi or the Outback but the wife argued for more luxury. From that perspective the CX9 delivers for not much more money. Once I started driving the Mazda full time, I really began to love the driving dynamics of this SUV. Kids and Labrador necessitated a roomy vehicle but I like a sport sedan driving experience. I feel the CX9 provides the best and relatively most affordable SUV alternative. Fuel mileage has been a steady 17 mpg in the first 3500 miles. Bad but my neighbor reports no better with their new Acura MDX. After seeing the inside of the Mazda, he doesn't see he got much for the extra ten grand the Acura cost. Mazda has a sleeper here and I like not seeing them on every corner like the BMW's where we live. I've got a short 12 mile round trip commute so I can live with mileage but the Mitsubishi new Outlander was a close runner up. Keep up the entertaining reviews.
Trying to decide between this and a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited. The Explorer has about 50,000 more KM’s than the Mazda but comes with a 4yr warranty. What do you suggest?
I know that AWD is important in northern regions of the country, but the FWD CX-9 models actually gain about 3mpg in overall economy for buyers who don't required AWD. I have a 2012 CX-9 GT FWD and, even with a heavier than average right foot, I average just over 18mpg in mostly non-highway driving! I also drive from GA to SC (400 miles round-trip) at least four times per year with six passengers (including myself) and with the cruise set at 75mph, I stay close to 21mpg.
Get a Pilot. I get 20-21MPG Combined with a 2WD. No problems with adults in the 3rd row. You can sit three across in the second row. The trick to loaded the cargo area with the third row up is to open the rear glass. You can't do that in a CX-9. I noticed how the rear hatch twisted badly when the hatch stopped on the storage bin. Those HP & Torque numbers for 3.7L are low at best. 15-16MPG combined, that's what I've heard elsewhere as well. Those 20" don't help with MPG.
Despite having a third-row seat, the Outlander isn't a CX-9 competitor or alternative. I believe the 2014 Durango V6 (8-speed AT) will be the best-in-class 7-seater SUV....but I'm still waiting to see the review(s) to support that belief.
fantastic channel. we're shopping for a fullsize crossover and have found these vids more useful than edmunds or any of the other big(ger) name video review sites. btw, what happened to the other guy?
Is there a standard to classify sizes of cars other than EPA volume? This CX-9 is 76.2" wide and 200.2" long, that would be considered a LARGE SUV 5-10 years ago.
Great review! But I’ll be the first to say, I got a outlander as a rental. They are horrible! The reason I say that... the interior is so cheap feeling (very plasticy) everything rattled, VERY slow, and as far as resell they are next to worthless. To me The cx-9 is the best all around for the price.
Dave- please answer - on this model, with the 3rd row seats dropped down, can you still move the 2nd row for more leg room? the new CX-5 Grand Touring, lacks the HP i want and using Tom Tom nav, i thought Tom Tom went bye bye- please let me know
dave.....can you please make a detailed review of the 2013 or 2014 dodge durango? i know you did one brief one sometime ago but not as detailed as the one your doing now with the Mazda CX9....
don't buy a cx9 my 2011 has been in shop for over 2 weeks for power steering pump problems and still no sign of a repair (REALY MAZDA ) local dealer in Sault Ontario Canada isn't the what I would call helpful, and if you are wondering they all have same pumps from 2007-2014 and from the forums I'm not the first with this defect, maybe a letter to NHTSA would expedite matters. The cx9 does drive nice but there warranty if needed is sketchy.
i disagree with using completely touch screen, cant feel for controlls. I have enough problems using my smartphone in the car ( miss my old nokia for dialing without looking)
The CX-9 is too heavy and the cx-5 a bit too small. And Don’t want less than 20mpg. I am shopping for a used mid sized SUV for under $15k and am now evaluating the repairs on salvaged titles of well rated vehicles. I wish the cx5 was slightly bigger or this thing lighter...4400lbs?!?

works works great for us shorter adults love my cx9
Gas mileage is a killer. Dave, you had it right, I need something better than 16 mpg in the city.
atl3630 :then you need a smaller vehicle
3-row SUV competition includes: Mitsubishi Outlander, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX and Hyundai Sante Fe - Dave
Your Double Dave part of the video is great. Nice new addition!
I have this now as a loaner while my 1997 MX-6 is being repaired! and the gas mpg is terrible in the CX-9!
double Dave test is my favorite part

Dave - which mid-size SUV do you think has be best 2nd row for sitting 3 adults?

Wow you have gotten so good with your reviews. Enjoyed it.
This looks WAY better than a Highlander. If Mazda would put a monroof in all of these they would double to triple in sales.
Mazda is offering cheap prices the model that Dave drove is availble for 31k here in Florida not really sure if any other model can beat that
fantastic channel. we're shopping for a fullsize crossover and have found these vids more useful than edmunds or any of the other big(ger) name video review sites. btw, what happened to the other guy?
It's very similar to the ford edge. Since it has the exact same engine & chassis.
my mom had a 2011 and 2014 and then got a dodge. about to get a 2019 for the next car!
I would get Mazda anytime before Santa FE or Pilot!
His reviews aren't boring.
Is there a standard to classify sizes of cars other than EPA volume? This CX-9 is 76.2" wide and 200.2" long, that would be considered a LARGE SUV 5-10 years ago.
I think he already did, Alanna. Check his uploads; you'll find his review on the 2014 CX-5.
Good and thorough review.
Great review! But I’ll be the first to say, I got a outlander as a rental. They are horrible! The reason I say that... the interior is so cheap feeling (very plasticy) everything rattled, VERY slow, and as far as resell they are next to worthless. To me The cx-9 is the best all around for the price.
Why is that the middle row seat so low
Gas mileage is the.trade off for sporty driving. MAZDA you have to get that number up to 20.
Jajaja....the man of steel...go for it Dave!!!!
I really like your videos
Nice review Dave
Dave- please answer - on this model, with the 3rd row seats dropped down, can you still move the 2nd row for more leg room? the new CX-5 Grand Touring, lacks the HP i want and using Tom Tom nav, i thought Tom Tom went bye bye- please let me know
When was 2014 launched? I just see 2013 model on mazda's site?
this one or the santa fe?
dave.....can you please make a detailed review of the 2013 or 2014 dodge durango? i know you did one brief one sometime ago but not as detailed as the one your doing now with the Mazda CX9....
hi dive any advice for a suv with 7 seater ,with best fuel efficiency and reliability !!!
Love the last SPMN touch! :-)
what's different from 2013 model? it looks like same review you alredy did
thanks double Dave
surprise you didnt mention the Traverse. Usually the car everyone picks over the CX-9... unless you enjoy a little zoom zoom in your life.
Dave how do feel about the honda pilot
Robert Garcia Please search my channel... I've reviewed the Pilot - Dave
mits. Outlander... I laughed a bit!
rumors say for 2015 it will get a skyactive engine
when will you review the 2014 bmw x5? thanks
Can you do a detail review on the 2014 Mercedes cla
i have the 2011 and I average 19 mpg combined
36k$ :O where i live that's the price of a 2.0 liter mazda 3 lol
review on cx 5 pleaseeee
I am disappointed with tow capacity.
I dont get the superman thing at the end
don't buy a cx9 my 2011 has been in shop for over 2 weeks for power steering pump problems and still no sign of a repair (REALY MAZDA ) local dealer in Sault Ontario Canada isn't the what I would call helpful, and if you are wondering they all have same pumps from 2007-2014 and from the forums I'm not the first with this defect, maybe a letter to NHTSA would expedite matters. The cx9 does drive nice but there warranty if needed is sketchy.
i disagree with using completely touch screen, cant feel for controlls. I have enough problems using my smartphone in the car ( miss my old nokia for dialing without looking)
this vehicle is a left over from the ford/mazda days
you forgot about Toyota Highlander
The CX-9 is too heavy and the cx-5 a bit too small. And Don’t want less than 20mpg. I am shopping for a used mid sized SUV for under $15k and am now evaluating the repairs on salvaged titles of well rated vehicles. I wish the cx5 was slightly bigger or this thing lighter...4400lbs?!?
I drive a CX-9, this specific model year.
It does not feel heavy when driving
Those rear seats look very uncomfortable...
cx 5
better off getting a CX 5 over this.
Aluminium alloy wheels? Um, duh
yea but that honda engine is madd slow and your transmission is only going to last 100k
Without the lights being changed, it looks identical to my dad's 2009 cx9. Like if you agree.
You’re not 5,11 bro come on 😂you mean 5,7 max
Ok, I'm 5'8 and 165 lbs. You got me.
nissan pssss with the crap cvt never
Nice
hahahahaha double dave good one
