Reviews of the 2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD

  • 6.0

    CNET Review

    August 20, 2008

    The Good: The 2008 Mazda CX-9's stunning looks and surprising acceleration and handling deliver on Mazda's promise of "zoom-zoom" in a vehicle that seats seven.

    The Bad: The driver is required to learn two sets of controls, because the voice-activated Bluetooth and touch-screen navigation systems are not integrated, requiring multiple consultations of the instruction manual.

    The Bottom Line: The Mazda CX-9 is a sporty SUV that packs a lot of space inside but it both looks and performs like a much smaller vehicle. However, the cabin tech lacks polish and needs to be better integrated.
