Just picked up my new 2010 CX9 GT

[mtills]

Hello all. Well, after a very long grueling month researching all the CUV's out there I finally pulled the trigger and picked up my Copper Red Mica 2010 GT..All I can say is WOW...Blows me away on every level...The 20" tires are a little stiff but I like the way they look!! We are a family of 5 so it will be interesting to see how the kids like it.

It was a toss up between the 2011 Honda Pilot and the 2010 CX9. The pilot was $7K more expensive and Honda would not budge at all on price. I kept coming back to the CX9. The second generation pilot is a very nice vehicle but seems like it has issues (Brakes, cheap plastics, etc) that simply do not justify the premium price tag.

Now that I have the CX9 I know I made the right call. $7k under MSRP.(cabpatch)(cabpatch)(cabpatch)

Thanks again for all the info in these forums...Very helpful.

Take care
Mike

Congrats! You made the right choice, and welcome to Mazda. The CX-9 is a very special vehicle. Zoom-zoom!

Welcome.
The day I saw the new Pilot was the same day I bought my CX9 back in 2008...

I researched this purchase to death. Really. Almost to the point of obsession. I almost went with the pilot but kept coming back to the cx9. I kinda wish I had more options available than the base gt such as moonroof or Bose but I am OK with it. I do not care about nav since the nav on my android phone is excellent. I might get the sirus box for the Mazda.

Anyway thanks much.
