Hi everyone,
I am researching my next car... thought about the 2014 Honda Pilot and 2014 Mazda CX-9. I test drove both vehicles and found the Pilot to be large and a bit scary when I tried to avoid hitting another car... I thought it would turn over. The CX-9 handled very well, but the ride was somewhat firm, unlike the Pilot which was smoother. The Pilot seem more practical, especially with the 8 seats and lots of storage. The CX-9 drove more like a car and seem smaller. The interior seem expensive. However, it did not seem practical like the Pilot.
This is difficult decision. Anyone here had to decide on which of the two vehicles to buy? And what motivated you to buy (since this is a Mazda forum, I suspect everyone may have selected the Mazda CX-9)?
