Fan goes on when off at any time

Nice car but annoying to hear it’s fan going on at anytime while not in use. Have not been able to find any remedies. Any input helps...

Best Car Ever!

This car has been one of the best investments I have ever made! Over the past decade, I've driven this car, my daughters learned to drive with this car (thankfully, no accidents), and it has been a reliable, comfortable, and stylish addition to our collection of cars. We own about seven different models and I would definitely rate this one as the best value/most reliable vehicles we own.

most reliable car I have owned.

This car met all of my needs, it has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is very smooth compare to other cars.

Great car for traveling

We have never had any problems with the car or the motor. Completely realiable, Easy to drive, 3 rows of seats, great cargo area. Best SUV we have ever owned. Bought it new from a person who never drove it.

10 years later we bought a new one

2009 was the last year before Mazda moved to the ridiculous Disney(r) Cars smiley-faced grill and got rid of the LED taillight array. We loved the CX-9 so much we just bought a 2019. Over the years we had our share of maintenance issues and brought it in for a few recalls, but nothing outrageous. After 160k miles the transmission is losing transmission fluid, although I don't know where, so it was time to go. A window motor is also starting to fail, the 2nd, which is a $300 repair, and the power liftgate occasionally complains and has to be manually pulled down. But great 3-row for the money, and not as common as other crossovers.

Great Family Car

We've taken this car to the beach several times. We've loaded it up with a double jogger, rooftop cargo bag and a tow hitch platform (we call it the 'back deck!) with a cooler strapped to it. It has a nice ride and with the third row, everyone has a great seat. I've owned the Pilot, FX 35 and for the price, the CX-9 is a great value.

Great Mazda!

We have really enjoyed our Mada CX-9! Roomy and comfortable! This car is a beast in the cold New York winters and a force to be reckoned with in the drifty snow.

Great SUV so far

Bought the CX-9 used a couple of weeks ago with 136K. So far it has been great - runs good, looks good and has plenty of room.
