Love my 2021 signature. Feels like a top dollar high end car. Love that it drives like a car and not a SUV. Feels much smaller than it is when driving. Traded my 2019 Rav 4 for this and this car is on an entirely new level.
I've been driving my 2011 Cx9 since it was new and I'm closing in on 100k miles. Any issues I had were all covered by the warranty and it still drives and looks like a brand new car. I've never even had a check engine light come on. I absolutely love this car and, if it ever starts to wear out, I will definitely get another Cx9. "Luxury without the douchebaggery" is a real thing and I'm glad you mentioned it. If I buy another black one, my neighbors won't even know it's new ... gotta love that. However, it still pisses me off if that they took out the CD player. Loved your review.
Very nice sir, and yea I liked that body style for the CX9 as well. Love how you get so much luxury for these cars, lack of a CD player is sad, fortunately the new Boss systems does sound good even with Bluetooth connection. Thanks again for the kind words!
I had a 2010 CX-9 for over 6 years and loved it so much! It was a step up from my Acura MDX, and it still looked and felt brand new when we got rid of it. My husband surprised me with a fully loaded Toyota 4Runner for our anniversary, and it felt like a huge step down to me. So, now we’re getting back into another Mazda CX-9! Such a fun car to drive, great sound, and much more cargo space that the 4Runner. It’s also just a lot more comfortable to be in.
I'm glad it's not just me. That's exactly the way I still feel about my CX 9. The only thing I don't like about the new CX 9 Is that they ride lower.
@@johnrichards3666 they do seem a bit lower. And I do wish they’d put in a panoramic sunroof instead of the tiny moonroof. Other than that, it’s quite a comfortable and luxurious ride for a non-luxury vehicle.
I'm hoping that Mazda will make an electric version of the Cx9. That's what I'm waiting for.
Trust me Mazda is a better quality than Toyota but people don’t know that as a reliable quality product Mazda is a 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and comfort drive and more fun to drive own a Mazda and you will understand
True, I think Mazda officially overtook in 2019 or so.
@@potentatewags, I think 2020, and 2021 it came in number 1spot in reliability knocking toyota down to the number 2 spot. I'm not sure about 2022 this year but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
True ,Mazda is a much better product than Toyota but people don't even know they are partners and build cars together
What about the touchscreens that crack. I know that’s a problem with the earlier models but what about the 21’ model?
We bought a cx9 last week. Loving the feel of the whole thing, its sooo nice !!!
Congrats on the new ride! Sweet...
Good review. First time I’ve seen you. Impressive 1:1 ratio between subscribers and views on this video. Just bought a ‘21 CX-9 carbon edition. Not sure if you’ve been in it, but those seats in combination with the chrome or aluminum interior bits and the rest of the interior...deadly gorgeous. We love the exterior color, too. I find tons of value in that model with so many features from the Signature trim and the one just below it while paying a chunk less. We don’t have AWD, the second row storage bin and exterior shiny bits, but I honestly don’t miss that and prefer the dark grill. We also love the high belt line and the feeling of being surrounded and comforted within the cabin and it’s large comfortable seats. I’ve heard some critique the large amount of space taken up by the transmission tunnel, I presume , but I honestly don’t mind as it just adds to that feeling of driving something substantial. Keep up the good work!
Nice job on your video. I test drove a bunch of '21, 3-row SUVs and that convinced us to buy a CX9 GT. From what I understand, most of the grips from the earlier CX9s model years have been addressed, like camera resolution, slow nav or infotainment functions. Mine work as expected, so no grips from me. I like the fact that the CX9 drives more like a car then the minivan-like SUVs, which to me handled like big boxes on wheels without the benefit of sliding doors. However, I would like to have had a 110 volt outlet like some of the competition.
Thanks, Kevin, for another great review. I appreciate that you don’t spend the time that other reviewers spend on 0-60 mph tests and other stats. Those guys act like people live on a racetrack. At the end of the day, most of us are stuck in traffic commuting to and from work. So one thousand horsepower and a 2.5 seconds 0-60 time doesn’t help with that. Thanks again.
Of course sir, I'm humbled by that and I'm very happy that you appreciate my pragmatic approach to these reviews. Stay blessed.
Great review. I like that these CX-9s are advanced enough to have the latest powertrain and safety design but simple enough that service and upkeep costs are lower than the German offerings. The funny thing is you could park this next to an Audi Q7 and it will just look as premium for $15k less.
More than 15k less
Try buying an Audi Q7 withall of the options and see if its only 15k more
@@joecool9739 A Signature Trim with AWD here in Canada comes in right at around $54k and a similarly equipped Audi Q7 Komfort or even Progressiv trim with AWD and 4 cylinder turbo comes in right around $67k.
My new favorite car reviewer. His thinking and opinions are inline with what I look for in a car, maybe I like his SoCal vibe being from SoCal myself.
Mazda make some bloody good and reliable cars, nice quick review Kevin!
Appreciate that my friend and yes absolutely great cars!
Loved your review style. Great, real and believable.
Thank you my friend!
I was close to getting a CX 9 in the Spring but decided to wait for the updated infotainment screen. I understand the rear camera and 360 view is also upgraded with higher resolution. Is that correct?
Very informative. Thank you.
Of course my friend glad you found value with it
Great video! You made a really good point on choosing between RX350 and CX9. I think some people might argue this is not a good comparison but I think just on the dollar value, you are definitely getting more on CX9, plus and I think this is a big plus - this car was manufactured in Japan Hiroshima (someone can correct this if I am wrong). So basically you are getting a Japanese import vechicle with a bargaining price tag but the quality of the inteior is on par with other premium brands in the same class. I have to admit Mazda was never on my shopping list in the past because but I feel it starts growing on me. 🙂
Great review covered a lot, appreciate your comparisons, and opinions. I am considering one of these new, but I am more a car guy, but really like this.
Glad it was helpful!
I love watching car reviews and this is a first time I saw yours. I have to say man, you are doing a really good job. Your channel will grow, just keep it up. My favorite is carwow :)
I'm really humbled by that thank you my friend!
I don’t ever comment or think people do a helpful presentation but this is a great video demo
I really appreciate that my friend thank you!
Great video. I’m loving my 2019 cx9 signature awd. Wouldn’t trade it for any other car
That's awesome! Yea CX9 is such a polished high end feeling vehicle no real need to trade it in
I considered this. Great review
Thank you my friend!
Raiti's Ride is my favorite but I like your presentation. i decided to subscribe. your presenation is natural and cool. i like it
Humbled by that my friend thank you very much for your support!
Like your review man.
Appreciate it my friend!
Great Video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed my friend!
Mazdas are some of the most underrated great cars
They really are I agree
Spot on
Love my x9 2017 and my mx5 2012 going to buy a new 2021 cx9 signature and give my daughter cx9 2017;zoom zoom zoom 😎
@@cherlgolja5402
Lucky girl. 😂
Interesting. The screen has gotten so big, it’s no longer touch screen. Maybe that’s also why it looks clearer.
I love your perspective
You already know I'm here for the return of the Mazda videos 😂😂 is this everybody's favorite egg*?
*Not to be confused with any koenigsegg, a true beast.
I only drive KoenigZaggs
@@MeynMotorGroup One day I hope to see it from ya my dude. Side note though. 93 octane for that? C'mon... That's rough. I feel like Mazda does so many things right, their sedans especially. I don't really care for many crossovers at all so I'm not just bashing on them. Their styling is decent. Their interiors are above average, their reliability seems to be decent as well. But they slack on a lot of things that you CANT slack on in MY opinion. Their technology is trash. I think that's self-evident. I don't really need to get into that. They're nowhere near the top 5 in the non-luxury category. Their sound system is also trash in my opinion. I've only driven 3 new Mazda's so I feel like I have SOME credibility in saying that their Bose setup is not worth paying the amount you pay to get it. I've tried it in the new Mazda 3, the CX-5, and the 6 Signature. All 3 left a lot to be desired. 🤷🏽♂️ Could just be me. Idk. But I've heard better quality even from other BOSE systems... In Nissans, and in the new K5. Last for me is the ergonomics and this is the most subjective, but I think everything being controlled by a twisty knob is bad for my senses. I'm sure most owners figure it out after a while, but for me whenever I'm in a new Mazda, I'm always twisting shit that I don't mean to be twisting. The volume twister is also not in my peripheral vision. That's dumb. I think there was something else I wanted to talk about but I forgot... But yeah, sorry if I'm always "that guy" when it comes to the Mazda reviews. I just think they're hyped up a lot... But I am always willing to say that they ARE better than most of the competition for quality on the cabin. Just the stuff that you USE is kind of meh. OH yeah, the 93 octane just to get 250 HP. They're not good at selling you value either. The car's aren't cheaper than the competition due to being this nice... And with 93 recommended, and most people likely following that order, they're not cheap to own either.
But anyway how you doin bro- how's corona
I am in market for new suv which one you think is better Lexus RX350 or this
Great review.... One question if I may. Someone told me that if one is using Apple Car Play, say for Google maps for real time GPS instance, that it completely disengages the inherent audio system and that you need to exclusively use Apple Car play to hear music. Is that true? In the Audi example you can use Google maps with Car Play and are still able to use the inherent audio system in the car. I was hoping that you might be able to clarify if you can. Thank you!
Thanks, unfortunately I do not know anything about that my friend. First I have heard of this myself
You can use the car oem XM/AM/ FM while using google maps. At least you can on the 2018 CX9 GT using Android Auto
I am able to have bluetooth connectivity with another phone while having Android Auto hooked up
My favorite midsize suv by far. That said, we now own a Palisade, mostly because my wife refused to look at the Mazda and it was her DD. That, and the Kia dealer was unwilling to come off msrp on a Telluride. Loving the Palisade so far though. I still like the CX-9 better, especially that new carbon trim.
Congrats on the Palisade, that is a phenomenal choice as well.
@@MeynMotorGroup
Thank you Kevin, means alot coming from you. 🙂
Humbled by that my friend!
Can you speak to the drive comparison between the CX-9 and the Palisade. Especially on the highway? I am intimately familiar with the CX-9 since I had a 2020 loaner for a month but my wife and I are in the market for an SUV and it really just comes down to either Palisade Limited or CX-9 Signature. I have yet to drive the Palisade. I know in terms of value proposition the Palisade has the CX-9 beat, but what about local/highway driving, noise and comfort.
@@cyberathlete
I have never driven the Mazda CX9, but our Palisade is very smooth, quiet, and solid on the highway. However, some 2020 Palisades have suffered with excessive wind noise, so make sure you test drive before you purchase if you decide on the Palisade. I have also seen at times above 30mpg on the highway and we are currently averaging 23.9 in mixed driving. Our Palisade I should mention is a fwd SEL model with the convenience pkg. The semi-autonomous driving aids are also flawless on the Palisade. I have been very impressed with it's lane centering capability. Still not quite a Tesla in it's capability, but very good, none the less.
is the trunk space smaller when you put the back seats forward than the cx-5? it looks that way
No CX 9 has a lot more space
Do a review of the 2021 CX-5 Signature to compare with this.
That should be coming next week!
@@MeynMotorGroup Looking forward to it!
Hi Kevin, can you get you hands on the new Lexus IS 350 F Sport? Cheers
Man I hope so
Currently considering the AWD Carbon Edition
There simplicity makes them great cars. Less things to break.
Correct like using a 6 speed auto is so smart and great performance too
Yep - no CVT or AMT.
They are actually packed with technology .
My only issues is lesss storage like cup holders than the Forester Subaru and no space for my purse like the Acura RSX or a second row bench seat for my dog. Also, I like when there is a cover for cup holders because that space gets grimy over time. I’m disappointed that the Mazda cx-9 has a lot of Subaru Forester features and styling melded with the BMW styling/look. Also the doors don’t automatically lock from the inside like my Subaru.
"Your neighbors still like you" hahahah nice video
"They see me rollin', but they not hatin'"
😆
Still a great SUV, although I like the previous 20 inch wheels over these new ones🙂
Yea the old 20s did look good 👍
Now that I look at them. They look slightly aerodynamic.
Me too, I think these ones look bad. Just not aggressive or classy at all. Makes the cx9 look a bit cheap
But 2021s screen looks way better
I also like the old grille insert better than this new one
Have a 2020 GT. Traded in my Volvo S60 T6 with no regrets!
Congrats my friend!
To me, the competition for this is the Acura MDX. About the same size, about the same looks, Acura is killing it with the interior, but Mazda has somehow kept up. Competition means we all win.
Very true!
And interestingly The new spy shots of the new MDX coming out looks more similar to the Mazda CX9 now!
The MDX has more cargo space than the CX 9 (with both second and third row folded)
Except Acura’s are dog shit. And double the price of this vehicle.
2021 TLX review coming soon?
Probably never lol I contacted Acura Press and they just ghosted me 😆 my access to Honda Acura products are next to none
Is it worth buying if your single and don’t have a family, but do a lot of driving?
No if you're single buy a Camaro SS with an NPP exhaust
To me,Mazda cars has a special place in my heart but lets unwrapp the "underrated" thing a bit.ofc the majority of Mazda cars were and still are in the higher places as a car but we have to consider other sectors too.F.E.fuel consumption,co2 emissions (which levels the taxes skyhigh) ,aslo aftermarket was not in the greatest place and so on.To sum up,at the end,the scale may not go where you want ,even if it 's the perfect car.You have to consider lot of things,unless u change it in a year or two:D
Unless ,its Lexus (^_^).
P.S. I owened an RX-7 MY1985,Wankel 1300 cc ,200HP ,RWD for 4 years.classic,red/black.More knecks turn to mine than in Mercs,i "smoked" a lot in highway but the consumption finally brought me to my knees.otherwise ,the best car i ve ever driven
Love my 2017 cx9 signature and mx5 6speed going to buy a new 2021 cx9 signature and give my daughter the cx9 2017 zoom zoom zoom
Anyone here experienced with buying a 2021 as to how much off MSRP you paid?
I recently paid 3k off msrp for a '21 CX9 Carbon Edition (about $41k)
Edit: in southern california, Irvine
Honestly if Mazda wants to pull off the luxury vibes they need to add a more powerful engine.
I think they are trying to incorporate a turbo engine in a lot of their cars and working on an inline 6
@@MeynMotorGroup inline 6 sounds good. I have the 2019 CX5 and the 4 cylinder engine isn't impressive on gas mileage. Might as well have a bigger engine.
Yea im excited for the inline 6 for sure
Love our 2019 cx5 gt
The design of the the Mazda CX-9 .2019,20,and 21 are the same I really wanna make a test drive and compare whit my GX460 Lexus
As a single man with no kids I prefer a CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve.
CX-5 is still great!
Lighter and sportier for sure. I would too if I was single and kidless.
@@MeynMotorGroup I purchased a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve on September 30. I love it
Congrats my friend phenomenal purchase
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks!! I enjoy your videos. I am also in the Cary area. If you ever have time to meet for lunch let me know.
"Your neighbors still like you?" That's assuming they like me now. Maybe they'll hate me less. ))
First! Love it 💪
Thank you my friend!
Lmao with the Corksport short ram intake in my 18’, the blow if is now annoying af 😂.
- I mean good when some fool cuts me off, and I give it heavy gas... “PFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!”.
Need 7 seater signature.. too bad
Is the cx30 just as gd lol
Yes CX-30 is amazing if you don't need a ton of space
Gd cause I bought gt sport sky active x
Why noone is talking that the suspension is horrible. It's very noisy and feels like there is something loose especially in the front
The new rims are awful... :(
Very misleading title. The video had no head or tail... It was all over the place. Why the hell were you comparing it to Audi??? Those two appeal to two completely different types of people.
No it’s written pretty clear you just need to read it
So...the first 50secs sewm to praise the CX9 HOWEVER! the title states."Don't buy " the cx9" before watching....kinda deceiving dude! 🤔
Need better titles
How about you read the rest of the title instead of just reading the first 3 words
Wait... this isn't a lexus video. Disliked and reported 🤬
Haha no unfortunately it is not my sales person at Johnson Lexus has moved to the pre owned department and It is hard for him to run down to the new car section and get me access to new Lexus cars which sucks but Is what it is, hoping they get some great pre owned Lexus cars
Why would you title this video "do not watch until..." when you absolutely nothing negative to say about it? You gushed so hard that I 100% believe you're getting kick backs somehow.
So I can't do much if you didn't go to school to read the rest of the title which said Dont buy without watching this review.
There's nothing negative about the title its all in that little tiny head of yours
Looks dated, time to do a big makeover.
Still looks better than anything else in the segment
That is all in the eye of the beholder. Earlier this week was at a stoplight a CX9 and Telluride were side by side. To my subjective eye the Mazda simply looked more elegant in a sheet metal gray.
