Here's the 2018 Mazda CX-9 AWD Review on Everyman Driver 

We just bought a 2018 cx9 in Deep Crystal Blue colour. Couldn't be happier!! The features it offers for it's price point is awesome. Mazda is doing a great job!

Great review Dave. Nice detailed demos and good camera shots. Thanks for the live HUD demo. First reviewer to do that.

I just bought a 2018 Mazda cx-9 and love it I am 56 and even the passenger side has lumbar support. I have heard folks talking them down but I hope mine was made on a wed or thurday.

Got mine. Couldn't be happier.

Ok that slide up sun screen just blew my mind. Damn that's cool.

I went to this years auto show and let me tell you, I looked at the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Toyota Highlander, the VW Atlas, Ford Explorer, Nissan Murano and the Mazda CX-9 was by far the best. I drive a BMW X3 and I’m looking for something bigger while keeping the premium driving experience with or spending too much and the Mazda CX-9 is the best option so far. Not to mention I test drove it and it has a ton of torque, feels like a sports vehicle.

To anyone hating on the touchscreen, just take a look at BMW... Mercedes-Benz... Etc

I was with some of my family today, as we left the park we were hanging out at we got the parking lot and I saw this exact cx-9 in red and we couldnt get over how nice it looked, definitely looks nice like a European luxury suv. I think I might trade in my speed 3 one of these days when I find a good deal.

It's a big SUV for a 4 cylinder. I wonder how much room was in the middle Seats while he was in the back.

Good review, I just wish a lot more car based channels did SUV/Crossover videos. I'm a big guy and I'm not comfortable in small cars. I'm an SUV guy all the way.

Great video and you captured the traffic sign recognition in action during your Drive! You missed mentioning the lane keep assist that nudges the steering back into the lane when the lane departure warning is activated. As well, the neat hidden storage under the rear cargo floor. Great video though!

Pretty good review. Well done, again, Dave :) The part where you showed to us the heads-up display was brilliant. And if I was on the market for a new car this is what will make me buy the CX-9.

Great video Dave - couldn't have explained it better myself

This is the reason why I live Everyman driver! 😁He spends lots of time on a car and made a video about it.....not like some other car channels only drive a few hour and give opinions 🤔

Great Review!! I’m debating between the Mazda CX-9 and that VW Atlas. Which was your favorite?

Dave Ericsson....I luv the 4 oblank handles thing u do. Funny as crap. Keep up the excellent work.

Hoping to get one of these this Year, trading in my 2015 Avalon since the Family has grown the Avalon doesn’t do it for us anymore, would like a Highlander, but for the money I think you get more with Mazda, and that’s saying a lot, I drive nothing but Toyota since 2000, great review!

I think 43,900 is for the signature model.

On a vehicle of that size, I am not excited by a four-banger engine. I know, you want to lecture me on it is not about engine size. But, sometimes it is. I know the bhp and torque numbers are sufficient to move this car along at a clip. However, in my opinion, those four cylinders are going to be working hard. A couple of extra buddy cylinders would sure help. And, would gas mileage real suffer all that much with an efficient six-cylinder?

Would you recommend this over VW Atlas? We’re in the market for a family suv, cx9 looks much nicer than the atlas, but atlas offers a 7year, 70k warranty.

Another Great review Dave! How's the knee room for the driver? I am 6'-3" and my wife's Nissan Rogue irritates the crap out of me, banging my (replaced) right knee and the seating is back all the way and at best it's for a 5'-10" driver.

Great video again Dave. Have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised that it was a finalist for Car of the Year. Think that the CX-5 was more deserving. Just sayin' ...

I love the redesign of this vehicle. My only gripe, like a lot of people, is that engine. I'm not against turbo engines, I actually welcome it in a Mazda as this is brand known for speed and performance. I just think that the turbo should have been optional and the V6 as standard but revised to about 305 HP. It would make the CX-9 more competitive, though I'm aware that the V6 AWD versions would be more expensive, especially with added options. I can only imagine the cost of a CX-9 Signature AWD with the V6 BEFORE destination charges. Oh well, I still wanna test drive this one for the hell of it!

Dave your body is legit!! Good job

Dear Sir, Thank you for your detailed introduction on the latest Mazda CX-9 model. This tube is insightful as well as informative.

I need you to do a Mazda 5 minivan review that's very detailed backup camera is a must for me . On every car now. Please

Awesome review (as always!). Just wondering if you have the new my18 Kia Sorento and Kia stinger on the books to review when they are available in the US? Regards from Australia!

I just got this vehicle so I didn’t have to drive my Mercedes and I LOVE IT !

Hey Dave, I've always loved your reviews. I subbed when you did the Kia Sorento and loved the road trip you took in it. I wish you would have highlighted more of the differences between the 2017 and 2018. 1. They have finally added front parking sensors 2. Added heated steering wheel 2. Heated second row seats. Now all I have to do is wait for mazda to get rid of the ugly black plastic trim and add a 360 view camera to make parking easier. After that they can take my money but until then they will have to go back to the drawing board. No one really takes a $43k plus SUV off road so what's the point of the black plastic trim. That plastic trim will get sun baked or salt stained and thus make the cx-9 age faster. Come on mazda, it's not that hard to paint plastic trims. Keeps up the good work Dave, ps all that biking, running, and CrossFit is paying off cause your calves look like they are ready to take over the world.

I like these new CX-9 but I’m disappointed they didn’t offer a V6 version. Not really a big fan of the turbo charged i4

*Looks like a shark from the side.*

I have seen quite a few of Ur videos. I really love them! Great reviews!! But, I wanna know, whats up with the "oblank" handles??? Why do u call it so?

bKal dipasarin ke indonesia ngga, ngacah euy.. no doubt this is the best SUV of 2018

This was the best review I’ve seen for normal people that are not mechanics, lol.

Hi. Is there any differences between the years of 2016-2018 Mazda CX-9 and model CX-5 for beginners drivers that you would recommend best? For safety, reliable, last longer and etc? I'm between two brands used midsized SUV Nissan Murano and Mazda CX-5 or CX-9, which years are the best to choose that last longer than just 4 yrs?

It's 250hp if you're using 93 octane, but only 227hp when using 87

What concerns me is a 4 cylinder turbo for the size of the vehicle. Wouldn't that be alot of stress for the engine and transmission over the long term?

Dave, this is the first video of your I've watched. I am curious why you emphasized the four "oh blank handles", don't most, if not all vehicles in that class have four handles? Thanks for the nice video.

I enjoy your reviews!! 🚗 keep it up!

Dude your calves are scaring me.

Legend has it, for every mile Dave puts on a new rig , he runs 5 miles

Love this new CX-9

Just watched this video to learn how to use my new car. 😂 Thanks for the awesome review!

Invite your friends & family.... CX9 is A full size 7 seater SUV. People buy CX9 more for them Rather for own drive.... good review anyway!

great review bro!

How i can know its 2018 becouse same the 2017 and they change the machines & gear to be better plz show as how we can know its 2018

I wouldn't want to be in the back seat it just doesn't look that safe. Other than that it's a very nice looking car. I'm going to say the Subaru ascent and this one is the best looking ones so far.

This is not much different than previous reviews other than speaking about the mileage and the headset display. I own this SUV and love it. But one still needs to say a few things about drivability of the. CX9. I still till now don’t like its oversteer where I always feel it pulling sideways and have to correct it and hold on harder to the steering wheel. The entertainment system is great in principal but lacks behind all others. Not much info is given on the screen. If you have the Nav on and want to change stations you have to get out to find what you have on (especially if you don’t remember your last choice) the infotainment needs some serious combo programming by Mazda. Before they put the Apple and Android apps To add third row seats users complain about the AC not being strong enough for them. Another aspect I found out, on hot summer days the AC struggles to keep up and takes a long time to even get the SUV to a close to comfortable temp (Mazda sure missed with the small vents there. Oh yes another big miss, the compass does not give direction once the touch screen unlocks two dashes show instead.

Can you review the new 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT sport? Id love to see that

Disappointed, I was hoping the topic would focus on what’s the improvement in 2018 model...ie g vectoring control

I am STILL waiting the Metallic Royal Purple COLOR. PLEASE !!!

Can you get these without the third row?

Why is the background music like breaking bad! LoL

You still did not tell us about the third row AC situation . Will the air from the second row vents reach to the third row in a hot day with passengers sitting in each row?

im 6.2 an when i test drove cx9 it felt like center console was impeding on leg room ..do you feel the same??

Great review.

The lack of Android Auto really perplexes me! Why even bother with any other Nav system?

I’m not sure if anyone notices or not but the way he talks looks to me like Mr John Cena

Can the infotainment display hide in the dash?

?Third row Is there air conditioning

does it have an AC outlet?

David can u make a car review of a 2017 honda pilot?

Good review.. great awesome vehicle..👌 From Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪 And I think you look like John Cena 😂😂

hey your car.show.ererymandriver doesn't work

Okay, calves..

@everyman: review Cadillac SRX AWD please

gud am sir, i like all your review... but, can u improve your video quality... tnx

What's all about the handles? Why do we care about that? What's the need?

A rod for the hood? Really? Even Mazda's from the 70's had automatic stays.

Very Nice

There you go again with the I’m 5.11 bro you 5,7

Sigh, those legs!

Design of the year. How it looks exactly like 2016 except for headlight design. Also vehicle is incomplete when rest of them comes with panoramic sunroof.

It's just like a 19 Hyundai Santa Fe...

MUTHİS BİR MAKİNA AMMA TURKİYEDE COK PAHALİ

fire engine...

Wtf is a "commadation"?

Off road it!

Drives pretty zippy for a big vehicle

These prop rods are basically deal breakers for me. I think it really cheapens a vehicle and shouldn't be on a $40,000+ vehicle. The viewing screen is hideous and looks like an afterthought, and where is the panoramic sunroof? No Apple car play? And it really should have a V-6, at least as an option.

The display was hideous to me, horrible placement.

Are you married Dave? please marry me please.

Do you even lift? Lol

Popeye calves.

No Panoramic Roof Stand - No Ventilating Seats for Third Seat - Front Cover Not Automatic - No Cameras 360 Degrees - No Sensors to Open Back Cover - Screen is not beautiful - Its price is expensive for its specifications

very small engine n bad engine because it will blow the turbo , turbo no good

Couldn't watch the video! you're calves were on the way!!
