first time watching your review sir & I'm sold u just earn yourself a subscriber keep up the good work.
Great video. Well put together ...thanks!
Can you please make a video for a 2016 Mazda 6 Wagon Diesel?
I assume the third row seat folds down. What is the cargo volume then?
I like the new CX 9 however I don't think you'll get the EPA gas mileage
we have a 2014 CX 9 and it has worked perfectly for our family of 5 kids ages 6-15 and 2 adults. we are going to get the 2016 Signature model. no one needs captains chairs unless you don't have small kids and want it for the comfort, then go with a Lincoln Navigator. My husband works at a Ford/Lincoln Mazda dealership as their Ford Master technician, and it's the best value for the price out of any crossover.
We've also taken 2 trips across country with the whole family and it's been fine! kids have their tablets, and there was plenty of room for all of our luggage for a week-long beach trip.
Good review - you didn't just note the obvious things anyone could. I agree that this would be a good car for people who never even use the 3rd row and have no kids
Nice report thank you
How is it's off-road capability feel like?
I'll wait until I can get one at $36000 well equipped
Solid review!
If you need rear entertainment put iPad on driver seat and you are done.Mazda is car manufacture not TOY manufacture.If you are not parent dont talk BS.Dislike
true shit
And rear passangers or kids now have 2 x 2.1Amps USB connectors for IPADs or any other Tablets on the rear seats. So is ready for the future (the new cx9 don't even have a CD player), only new stuff like Bluetooth, USB, etc.
Exactly. it's 2016, rear entertainment is an overpriced gimmick. Ipads have sorta made them irrelevant. And for a lot of us, 2nd row captains chairs take a serious dent out of the utility of a car like this, and utility is important when you're a homeowner and are schlepping stuff around (including dogs).
yeah we are strongly considering this as a family SUV and the headrest mount for an ipad is just so much easier and cheaper to work with. Most people already have a tablet so loading movies on them is a snap and you can use bluetooth headphones to stay quiet and keep two of them charged with those rear USB ports.
Rear entertainment is realistically all you NEED for a "family" SUV. One could argue that a decently sized 3rd row area and more cargo room in the back would be nice but you sacrifice the driving feel that my wife and I both really liked with the CX9. It feels like driving a sedan and not a bigger vehicle.
The fact that the middle row can slide forwards/back independently gives the 3rd row a big more leg room though and I'm not sure what the problem with the tailgate not going up higher is. For shorter people, it just means that remote close button is that much farther out of reach.
FastRedPonyCar ai just purchase a base for ipad in amazon at 10usd and a samsung tab tablet at 129 usd. cheap way to add HD video play to the kids.
First time for my to watch your channel. Excellent work. But please say something about the ride quality.
Being a great handler usually comes at the expense of a somewhat firm ride. Ride is paramount for me. Thank you.
the old cx9 had firm ride. the new one is less sporty, but is more pleasant for our family. It's really superior, by a lot!
A really sincere review. I like that car, but its good to know that there are some elements missing in it.

But is better than Pathfinder, Pilot or Highlander. And cheaper. But is smaller than Pilot. Excellent for small families.
good review
I used to have a Mazda 3 and now lease a Mazda 6. They are great cars but if the next generation Mazda 6 doen't come with a turbo, I'm going to have to go with an Accord V6 or Subaru. I like a little bit more power, that's my only issue. Other than that, they're great cars.
Tato Gartacos so you love the 2018 Mazda6, right? It shares the 2.5L turbo
No CarPlay?
I hope the new cx5 gets that front styling.
koukimonzta I thought the same
I only thing I'll ever carry in my trunk is Groceries. Infotainment i don't give an F about it cause I barely use it in my current car. I won't need heated seat cause I live in the Middle East.
And please it's not so behind time.
It still has a Lane Departure, Blind Spot assist. Etc Etc
the hatch is actually height adjustable
2 USB ports in center armrest of second row... no one uses the built in entertainment, BC ipads, tablets, etc exist. plus in this one they are right there to charge them.
I bought my 2016 CX-9 new 14 months ago. Last week the below zero weather hit here in Indiana and it has decided to stop running.. Mazda roadside towed to the dealers where it has been for 2 weeks now and they cannot get it going. It has 11,035 miles on it. Yesterday they sent overnight the PCM to Mazda to try and figure it out since the new one Mazda sent did not fix it. The tell me Mazda will get it figured out.Regretting the purchase right now
scottyguy2 are you sooo happy with your purchase? I was thinking of buying a 2016 Mazda CX 9 Signature this week.
Kids have their tablets and captains chair is a waste of useful space.
It's a perfect crossover for my family with 3 kids.
Last but not least, car should be more than a utility on the wheels and as you said cx-9 is the best as a driver's car, which is the most importance thing in a car to look at.
I want this CX-9 in Europe :(
this car deserves a v6 and the miata deserve the I-4 turbo ;)
I had the old cx9 with v6 and now the new cx9 turbo awd GT. the new cx9 have a lot more power and acceleration compared with the old one! The new cx9 even have the sport button for quicker acceleration.
no Android car and no Apple Car? what the hell Mazda! just because of this, i wont even bother. Nice looking car
why do you Americans like captains chairs so much???
They are not practical you loose one seat so it becomes a 6 seater rather than a 7 and they aren't comfortable.
Like here in Australia the Honda oddessy is offered in 8 seats on the basic then the step up which is the only other option which adds all the gizmos and good shit loses 1 seat and becomes a 4 seats if a family needs the space in the boot and the 3rd row needs to be down.
So argue with that
Because we have fatter butts! And like most of us, we find comfort more proprietary than function.
it adds third row accessibility, a sore point for the CX9
I think Mazda doesn't offer a RSE in the CX9 simply because THEY ARE OBSOLETE. I mean, who uses dvds? blurays? NOPE, EVERY kid, has an ipad, internet conexion, and netflix, THATS RSE these days, not DVD screens that have been around since AGES.
yes I agree, there are actually 2 USB ports in the middle of the second row to charge these tablets, ipads,etc.
Looking for a rear entertainment system? Go buy a Sienna or Odyssey instead. Most crossovers does not offer that anymore since parents know that cost of putting an iPad behind the first row is cheaper than getting one from the factory. Dislike
The Pilot have Bluray at the back in the more higher trim. But is better to have an Ipad or Tablet. Amazon sell Ipad accesories to install a tablet in the back for 19 USD. And the new cx9 have 2 x 2.1Amps USB at the rear seats, so is ready.
that thing will be 50grand plus in Canada wtf Mazda?
Ya after taxes almost 60k
cars these days are expensive. we are lucky to get such a nice car for 50k in the US... a
+Alex Tran Ya, very hard to get a nice car fully equipped out the door for under 30k
Yup.. inflation my friend. Especially in the US
this car in malaysia about 200k dude.. who care..
2016 Honda Pilot
Pilot is more expensive. And the new cx9 have a better look... Pilot looks so Bulky.

Sweeeeet
Nice cut away shorts. Really contrasts the otherwise friendly, but professional presentation. I guess you were going for some kind of misguided balance - mission achieved
mazda 6 its based on..
Nope, it is actually based on the same platform of the Mazda3 and CX-5.
christian guevara i heard it was the 6 but i could be wrong..i ask my cousin he is a mechanic for them.
You are correct it looks like the 3 and CX3, and CX5 but the chassis and motor is compatible with the 6. This is the very reason that most Mazda lovers are holding their breath to see if they will mate that 2.5L Turbo engine to the 6 frame. Zoom Zoom.
You sound like it hurts to talk
This car is shit because of Mazdas' insistence on 4 cyl. cars. Don't justify their weak govt. compliant engines with your big bucks.
