Hello, just purchsed a 2007 CX9 sport, front wheel drive. Was also considering a 2008 Grad Touring, but it actually had more than i needed plus the price was twice as much. Baught the car because my wife and I are proud new grandparents and need the 3rd row to travel as a family when we can. Anyone give me an idea as to what im in for other than driving a great looking SUV?? Never owned a Mazda actually had to travel about an hour to find a dealer, but had to buy that car if I had to get a 7 passanger vehicle. I got the While, love the looks now hope I love the performance I will get from the vehicle. I owned a Hyundai Azera before this and visited their forum often. Im looking forward to visiting the CX9 forum and hopefully reading some great things about the CX9. Have a great day everyone.
