If you need the people-carrying capacity of a mid-size SUV or a minivan but want something with a sporty look and the road manners to back it up, you should put the CX9 on your short list. This vehicle is handsome and while it was easy for a 5-foot person to climb into the CX-9, the seating position is high enough that you look over at drivers of SUVs. Mazda gets good marks for equipping all the models with important safety equipment. This includes electronic stability control which helps you maintain control, and air curtains, which provide head protection in a side-impact crash. The power comes from a refined 263-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 built in Ohio before being shipped to Japan where the CX-9 is assembled. It works with an impressive six-speed, Japanese-made automatic transmission that can be shifted manually if you are interested in some fun driving. The CX-9 responds quickly to your input, feeling surprisingly enthusiastic about travel on a country road. But, if the CX-9 isn't an SUV and it is not a minivan, what is it? It is what industry refers to as a crossover vehicle. Crossovers provide better fuel economy, ride and handling than truck-based SUVs. Come in and take a test drive today.
