2009 mazda cx-9 is a car-based "crossover" utility vehicles witch has the best attributes of passenger cars and suvs. Like the smaller mazda cx-7, the cx-9 is genuinely fun to drive yet still useful on a shopping trip or a family vacation. A lightly-loaded 2009 cx-9 does a creditable job of living up to mazda's "zoom-zoom" marketing promise with its rigid unibody chassis, low-friction macpherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension, precise engine-speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering and stabilizer bars at both ends. Despite its substantial size and weight, it acquits itself surprisingly well on curvy country roads and rides smoothly and quietly at freeway speeds. Unlike many three-row cuvs, there is ample adult-size room in all seating positions and 17. 2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. The cx-9's interior upholds the exterior's sporting character but with more luxury touches than the less expensive cx-7. Its instrument panel has quad chrome-ringed gauges under a prominent hood and a logically laid-out audio and climate control area bounded by rich wood spears plunging from dash-top to floor and mirroring similar pieces in the door panels. The 60/40 second-row seat reclines and slides forward to enhance third-row access, and both it and the 50/50 third seat fold flat into the floor, like many cuvs in this class, the cx-9's third row seat is best suited for children or diminutive adults. The 2009 mazda cx-9 is well dressed for its role as the bigger brother of mazda's cx-7 sport cuv. Its look is mazda sporty, with a signature five-point grille over a wide, aggressive bumper, wrap-around headlights and a broad-shouldered tail with curving tail lights and twin trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips. One nice touch is a full-width chrome strip across the top of the black-out grille opening, which flows across the top of the large, centered mazda logo and is mirrored again in the lower grille opening. Long rear doors allow easy access to the third-row seats. The 2009 mazda cx-9 the base sport trim comes with three-row, seven-passenger seating, front and rear air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, tilt wheel, cruise control, am/fm/cd audio and six sets of air bags (front, side and full-length side curtain). The 2009 mazda cx-9's 3. 7-liter v6 is a variation of the 3. 5-liter engine that powers its american cousins, the ford edge, however, the 3. 7-liter version is specific to mazda and lincoln. Of torque @ 4250 rpm epa city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 (fwd).
