Long summary:
2007 MAZDA CX-9 GT 2007 MAZDA CX-9 GT The CX-9 is a seven-seater crossover sport-utility vehicle that shares several components, including its platform and 3.5L V6 engine, with the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. However, the CX-9 has its own suspension and engine management tuning. This new front-drive Mazda is available in GS and GT trim, and can be equipped with an optional on-demand all-wheel-drive system. The CX-9 is an imposing vehicle similar in size to the Ford Freestyle and only slightly smaller than the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Acadia. Interior and cargo area The front seats are easy to enter and very comfortable, with high seatbacks, good side support and large enough for stocky individuals to feel at ease. Drivers get a very good driving position. Headroom with the sunroof is limited for tall people. Some people will find that the rear bench seat is a bit low for comfort. The seat is split 60/40, and you can slide either section fore and aft and adjust the angle of the seatbacks. The third-row bench is hard to reach but relatively comfortable for little folks, with adequate headroom and legroom. Folding both benches forms a flat floor, but there is a space between each row of seats that is deep enough for a dog to fall in and get hurt. Cargo capacity is relatively limited473 litreswith the third bench in use. Folding it expands trunk room considerably, and with both seats folded there is an impressive 2,851 litres of cargo space. Convenience and safety The interior is very well finished in good-quality materials. Soundproofing needs improving to eliminate road and wind noise. There are numerous storage spaces, including a spacious centre console. Unfortunately, there is no anchor point for a vertical net behind the first two rows of seats. Photo: Mazda Instruments and controls are well laid out and all are illuminated at night. The audio systems volume button is a bit too thin and especially hard to operate when wearing gloves. To obtain an outside temperature reading, you have to push a button each time you start the engine, which is rather irritating. The heating system is very efficient. Safety equipment includes six airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, stability control and good xenon headlights that are standard on the GT. Visibility is good in all directions except to the rear when backing up, making it hard to judge distance. The front head restraints do not adjust quite high enough for tall people, while those on the two rear rows are too far back from the head and adjust too low. Engine and transmission The 3.5L V6 puts out 263 horsepower and 249 pounds of torque. The engine is Ford-made, but the CX-9s engine management system is by Mazda. Acceleration is good and pickup is satisfactory. This engine is well suited to the vehicle. It climbs easily and very smoothly through the gears. However, fuel consumption is high. The six-speed automatic transmission shifts up and down almost imperceptibly, which is good ...
