The 2021 Mazda CX-9 Signature is An Even More Appealing Family SUV 

Especially the older ones...( to me)

@@seanhershey3390 I love seeing the occasional CX-7 on the road too. Wish Mazda made a updated version of their van.

Agreed. I’ve always thought it was a good looking car!

I have a 2012. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Probably won't get another one since they discontinued the V6.

My car's being worked on right now, and I was given this as a rental. Never cared much about cars but wowww this one makes me feel like a whole new person driving it. Lol. So many nice features and runs really damn well. I'm in love.

I'm glad you like it, not all cvt transmission are bad. Aisin transmission is one of the best for cvts. Jatco cvts are bad. See the difference

@@alvinsimba734 Nope even those have issues. Stay away from CVT. 6 speeds is all you really need in a automatic transmission. The Toyota Corolla owners have reported issues with the cvt. Agree on the Jatco they are garbage.

The transmission doesn’t really “need” more gears. It would improve the powertrain only slightly. This is a smooth tried and true powertrain and no crappy variable transmission.

I'd rather have 6 gears. More number of years you have the more parts to break down. Besides, almost every crossover is 4 gears and rest being overdrive.

@@alvinsimba734 Those are bad too unless maintained religiously like a German car and if you drive like a grandma,. CVT designs are flawed at the core and they simply take far too much abuse to handle especially with paired with these little turbo 4's and shit with near-instant torque.

@@TJ-Dives Mas reliable ba pyesa ng Mazda kaysa Toyota at Honda???

@@karagdagangimpormasyon4736 Oo, si Mazda ay pinangalanang #1 tatak para sa pagiging maaasahan sa nakalipas na 3 taon sa US, KIA ay pangalawa, Toyota ay 3rd, ang ilang mga bagong isyu ng Honda ay may mga isyu kaya sila ngayon ay sa 6th. Mazda ay hindi lamang isports at maluho, ang mga ito ay hindi kapani-paniwala maaasahan at isang solidong pagpipilian para sa pangmatagalang pagmamay-ari.

@@aidensnow5017 Ford Everest pinili q boss, wala kasing 7-seater na diesel si Mazda dto kaya di un ang napili q. Saka Oo, ang baba ng ranking ngaun ng Honda kahit dto sa Pinas wala na sila sa Top 5, but I like the fuel efficiency of the CRV diesel, ung design lang medyo maliit kasi na 7-seater. 🤣

Yes mazda is now sitting next after lexus in terms of reliability

It’s definitely aged well on the exterior.

Props to IKEA for inspiring the interior

@@monkeywkeys3916 lol

Except for the stupid screen which looks like they glued it to the dash. Some Europeans car had this 1st and has always look stupid.

@@mar56cos Unfortunately it’s become a popular trend in vehicles since the late 2010s.

It’s not an in-line 6. That’s a V6.

@@Kazze1 Actually it’s in-line 6 look it up

Sadly, they killed the Mazda 6. Sedans don’t sell well in US

If it were me, when I’m looking for a three row suv, I want space, luxury and power and that’s why I would choose a palisade or telluride. Nothing else.

@@bradleyscarreviews, if space is really your priority nothing beats a minivan!

Yeah I agree with either telluride or palissade. This suv looks so generic on the outside, and even more basic on the inside.

@@ztekz a Yukon xl?

@@varunaX exactly!

Did you go back to a cx9..?

@@tavo3234 I haven’t because….. I was talking to two different dealerships, and neither was ever able to get the exact model, color, interior, and package in the same car. They blamed it on the manufacturer having shortages, which is fair. And if I’m paying nearly $70k on a vehicle, it’s going to be exactly what I want. They did say that I could pre-Oder one, but I’d have to put down a deposit. My husband was hemming and hawing already, so that stopped the whole conversation. They’ve since come out with a CX-90 which I actually like better. It’s really just an updated CX-9 but it has a panoramic sunroof. Now, I have a grandchild, so I’m trying to decide between a CX-90 or a minivan. I go back and forth, but if I didn’t have a grandchild I’d 100% jump into a Mazda CX-90 as soon as I could order one.

Did you look at the highlander or palisade?

All those goodness and reliability is all because; Yamaha = Lexus = Toyota = Mazda.

@@RIZFERD Mazda = Mazda

@@mojamoja3962 it's in help of Toyota since Ford left and Toyota owns 5% Mazda ;) I am not an outsider ;)

@@RIZFERD How much has Toyota done with Mazda. Nothing yet. There partnership is still building facilities in the US but all the production for Mazda is currently done in Japan with absolutely no Toyota input.

How are you liking your Mazda?

I also got a cx9 back in 2018 august. Love the car. so far only driven 18k km. the drive is amazing, you dont feel you are driving a 7 seater family suv, drives mostly like a car.

@@wasif9 The only downside for this is no 3rd-row air vents. I heard they're located on the floor but from this video I didn't see any vents and I think this is what kills me. I can sacrifice the paranomic moonroof but not 3rd-row air vents if the car is meant to have 3rd row.

Agree I’m loving my 2018 grand touring soul red. My boss drove it and loves it so much he’s thinking of getting rid of his 19’ Lexus rs for 21’ cx9!

I am driving a 19 CX9 GSL pack. Really great value for money. I spent 38k CAD +tax on it. It even has the rear seat heating feature.

Is this only available on the CX9? Because it uses the same new infotainment as my 3 but never heard about this feature?

What fixes

@@alaskaaudioguy35 ?

@@_IIN01 I think he was asking what major problems had you had in that time?

Completely different car

😂

@@theredline I think, for most people's driving, the low-end torque is what Mazda focused on. Most people don't rev over 4000 rpm for the normal driving. I personally love the driving feel of the CX-9. Plenty of passing power on the highway.

he is biased towards mazda

@@PrinceOfParthia74 Maybe he was in the past but when a notification pops up and it is for a Mazda review, I expect smiles from Sofyan just like you see in this review.

@@mojamoja3962 he claims to be a “car enthusiast “ but all he does is “wish.” I wish the car had this, i wish it had that. Mazda is driver centric, this guy misses the whole Mazda concept

How long do you keep them? How's the Reliability?

Yes, same here. How long u keep them and hows the reliability?

@@STAK_22 I’ve had a 2013 Mazda CX-9 till 2017 with 80k miles and there was no issue. We would road trip cross country and everything held up including the seats with no major creases.

@@vicenteherrera570 why you traded it, it only have 80k on it

@@kromahj Some people like a new car every few yesrs

Soul red crystal

Yes! Soul Red Crystal

@Benjamin Bertsch Yes! I keep one in my car as well, just for passengers who don't listen when I say not to try touching the screen 😅 I am constantly wiping it off when someone touches it.

The touchscreen in my telluride is perfect. No reaching and I don't need a knob to enter an address for nav. No touch screen is kind of embarrassing in 2021

And that is your opinion. I prefer no touch screen but I won't ding you because you prefer touch screen or your brand

I agree. The knob is much better, especially with gloves on (as winter is upon us). Most touchscreens are horrendous to use with gloves but the knob allows stress free navigation of the infotainment system while keeping the gloves on 😊.

@@DJPleasureSeekingMissle no need for gloves in a telluride. Heating steering wheel gets hot in 30 secs

@@varunaX yeah except when you get out of the car...........and you can get a heated steering wheel in the CX9 as well.

What bmw do you have?🤨

@@lunareclipse511 2018 sport wagon i had built at the bmw plant in Germany. Picked all the finished/interior etc and had it built. The 2021 carbon cx9 is so much nicer.

I dont think so.... X5 would over shadow the mazda un a heart beat.....

I agree, I would buy it over a Pilot.

I own one it’s firm and supple and communicative ride and steering. Much better than Toyota Highlander

Yes, the carbon edition needs the addition of the pearl white, black or the Soul Red Crystal!

I thought they didn’t do touch screen

I rented one for a week and after one day, I got pretty good at using the knob. My only complaint was a lot of cabin noise

Much better warranty, too. You made the right choice.

idk, here in Australia people absolutely love these. They sell far better than most competition

These are SUVs for people who have occasional guests rather than families. It’s more of a personal car.

One word: Minivan

@@ARU-vidChannelwithNoName yup, i don't need to tow anything and the minivan is way better than our suv on long trips and trips to the beach/park, camping, etc. can't wait to get rid of the suv for a car again.

Kev, by the time Mazda threw out the Mazda5/MPV for the CX9 they had done their homework well and that's why it's more sought after than the MPV would ever have been.

Toyota's providing the EV components. Toyota and Mazda are in such a close partnership we might as well call them married at this point, their building a massive factory in the us together to make both their vehicles. They also share tech with one another, Mazda is the only reason new Toyota's started handling sooooo much better then they did 10 years ago. The Toyota Yaris 4 door sold in the USA is literally a re-badged Mazda 2 with a old Toyota engine dropped into it. The new Mazda 6 is apparently going into the entry luxury market with a starting MSRP around 34k and a top price expected to be around 50k, With that price bump its dropping FWD and moving to a RWD/AWD drive train, the 2.5L Turbo engine in the top trim is now going to be the base engine and the new top engine for the 6 is going to be that Turbo charged 3.0L inline 6 Toyota made for the Supra. On top of all that Mazda was named #1 in reliability of the last 3 years in a row, becoming the first brand to de-throw Toyota in over 28 years. Mazda dose not deserve to be slept on as much as it is.

@@aidensnow5017 with Mazdas handling capability and chassis/suspension design that sounds like a formula for success. I always felt like the 6 would really benefit from AWD, I really wanna see them bring back the Speed 3 AWD as well. Would make for a fantastic rally car

Wonder why it takes so long. I’m waiting to get a redesigned CX-9

6 cylinder flies in the face of exactly why they have the 4 cylinder last 5 years.... wake up

@@rl6210 GFYSYFPOS

@@LlyleHunter that's mature

@@rl6210Oooooo! There’s not a four cylinder made that’s as balanced as a straight six. That’s why Mercedes has returned to producing them and BMW never abandoned them. So keep your coffee grinders. Straight sixes have never needed balance shafts to feel premium as better four cylinders have so go back to sleep.

The pilot?!!! What? The telluride and palisade?

@alex completely agree. touch screens get covered in fingerprints and are always more distracting to operate. i prefer this setup too.

From someone with a 2020 corolla that I drive daily, the screen doesn't even distract you from everyday driving. At least they got physical buttons on its infotainment system, so your rarely touch the screen and secondly some of those controls are on the steering wheel too. The best comparison would have been honda civic ex model where everything is touchscreen. As for mazda I did test drive the mazda 3 GT and the know is very functional fine where it's placed.

The knob is also much easier to use with gloves on, as winter has arrived. Touchscreens suck ass when used with gloves.

Try finding a radio station with the Mazda knob while driving. It's a terrible and dangerous experience. Touchscreens are simpler and safer.

@@haze1123 use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and play Spotify. Who uses the radio anymore? Boomers and basic white girls?

Works fine. No advantage to touch screen. Stays clean & clear

That’s a huge statement !

Try finding a radio station while driving with Mazda's silly dial. I'll take a touchscreen every day.

Totally agree having used a Mazda 3 a cx 5 and a 6.
