2013 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD - WR TV POV Test Drive

For the best video experience, we recommend wearing a good set of headphones for the POV Test Drive at 3:11. The audio in this video was recorded with binaural microphones that, when played back through headphones, give the feel of 3D sound. Trick stuff.

I dont get why reviewers always complain about a hard dash. The only time I touch the dash of my car is when Iam cleaning it. Hard or soft who cares . No one drives with their hand on the dash. I'm more concerned about reflection and glare. Good review the car does the talking.

[@theproweb]

I love how it says in which gear you are with the auto, it isn't very useful, but it's nice knowing in what gear you're on.

[@ItsKibet]

Bad Drivers of the DC Area my thoughts too.Looking to get one myself

[@94navin]

it comes in different colors like sand and black and that really makes the cabin feel soft and comfortable.

[@Dreadzedan]

Yeah man that thing has a stance like no other + these guys are great.

[@hondaftw1234]

Engine sounds fantastic

[@AV3NTADOR1]

Very nice review!

[@ELGlueckert]

it would be nice if all test drives were at least this long, unlike some of the short ones from 2012 that I wished were this long.

[@robsonsobral2506]

nice video bro!

[@ddl25]

Good engine sound with no too much road noise.

[@coffeekhan]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@NotCommanderShepard]

Thank you, Chris.

[@TonyTube407]

Fantastic!

Yes I realize that a lot of cars offered in the US are built overseas. However, what I was saying is that the majority of the cars that people actually buy here are built in the NAFTA zone. Only 2 of the 30 best selling vehicles last month came from overseas. This goes towards my point that most Americans don't have to pay tariff premiums that are common in countries where the majority of vehicles sold were imported, and that's one of the reasons our vehicle prices are relatively cheap.

[@94navin]

i use to think that too. But what i have learned is that soft touch material don't scratch so easily and are less prone to cranking as the car gets old if you keep it that long.

[@naifhq]

Nice car , l have one

[@magillanyc]

I liked the ending with sales sticker, MSPR with options listed.

[@robvilletto3146]

great SUV!

[@hen913]

and sounds MUCH better.

[@shirke01]

Can you please review the latest one

[@vidadihumbatov7024]

Hello. Thank you for the video. I see that you have your navigator set up. I have the same Mazda with a head unit just like yours. Please advise where and how to set up the navigator on this machine. Thanks in advance!

[@noahibanez7771]

No

[@splewy]

There are many reasons why our vehicle prices are relatively cheap, and you're right that the value of our currency is one of them. Like I said though, our government's low taxes on vehicles and the fact that most vehicles bought in the US don't have import tariffs on them are also reasons. Many developed countries import far more cars with tariffs on them than we do, and their governments place more taxes on them, so on average they pay a lot more for cars.

[@94navin]

if you actually sit in one your opinion will change drastically it softer than it look and the eat is really comfortable.

[@windingroadmagazine]

lol, we'll do our best! -Chris

[@shermeaka]

I love mine

[@DancinRandy54]

that car has a really nice exhaust note for s big suv

[@rkgsd]

You may want to checkout the 2013 Santa Fe (extended version) too.

[@Nerdybudy19]

I'm torn between the highlander and this. Wish I will make up my mind by next week!

[@lightbulbisbright]

ahh, crappy Michigan roads and crappy drab weather. My favorite!

[@mohammadreza814]

We have one of this but ours is 2014 Mazda CX-9 grand touring and it have DVD player

[@NotCommanderShepard]

If it isn't much trouble for you guys, can you keep on making these videos until the end of time?

[@noahibanez7771]

No

[@coffeekhan]

Wow! I haven't usually given Mazda much consideration, but this really has made me take notice. I just wish their interiors weren't a sea of black.

[@erikhertzer8434]

Bob Keilitz : most German cars interiors are a sea of black as well...

[@basspig]

My daughter 2012 CX9 is cream beige interior. Very cheerful.

[@1999myself1]

The best kind of review ever.

[@KamransAmbience]

Can test drive new hyundai i40 saloon

[@94navin]

yea but it still looks great and the sale are going up for the car

[@usjusjusjusj]

check your rear wheels tyre pressure

[@vidadihumbatov7024]

Здравствуйте. Спасибо за видео. Я вижу что у вас настроен навигатор. У меня такая же мазда с штатной магнитолой точно как ваша. Посоветуйте пожалуйста где и как настроить навигатор на этой машине. Заранее спасибо!

[@noahibanez7771]

No

[@muhnnad1900]

please always show us when you move the speed transmission thanks .

[@noahibanez7771]

No

[@splewy]

I said "the majority of cars sold in the US built in the US OR in the North American free trade zone". The North American free trade zone includes Mexico and Canada. Also, almost all of the best selling Japanese and Korean brand cars are built in the US or Canada. In fact if you look at the top 10 best selling vehicles in the US for 2012 (4 American brands, 6 Japanese), 5 are built in the US, 2 in the US/Canada, and 2 in the US/Mexico.

[@94navin]

well understand that just because one best selling car mean there whole line up is made in the same place. Mazda all there cars are made in japan but there is new of them making the mazda2 and 3 in mexico next year. Just an example.

[@kruneangtom]

เมื่ิอไหร จะได้สัมผัสตัวจริง

[@RealtimeReviews613]

It looks good but it is basically the same thing as the 09 model with the same engine, gas mileage etc. its really just a refresh on a suv that needs a redo

[@94navin]

well will have to agree to disagree.I always though the cars are cheaper hear because out money was worth more.But i never looked into doing the exchange rate. Also almost 900 dollar for destination fee could be a lot for some people.

[@MrTbmnbo009]

Is it a v6 or 4 banger. Sounds likea v6 on high rpm

[@hertzair1186]

Mar ki : 273 horse power V-6, 272 ft/lbs torque

[@05Forenza]

True drivers SUV there...downshift to 2nd at almost 60mph...hot lol

[@monicasoto3481]

Why?

[@splewy]

A lot of cars are pretty cheap in the US. We have very little tax on cars. Also, the majority of cars sold in the US are either built in the US or in the North American free trade zone, so we don't have import costs.

[@94navin]

the highland rear seat are horrible and the 2nd row bench seat has a middle seat so small you can fit it in the middle console i would but that. And the cx9 are really reliable.not that they highlander isnt

[@hen913]

it shifts so much faster than my sonata :|

[@phuongdoxuan7264]

Xin giá

[@delongize]

4000$? so chip? in Russia cost of cx-9 65000$

[@davidjym]

Not crazy about the new front grille, now looks awkward like an Inifiniti.

[@Berzertles]

Well I mean, its better than the one before this one

[@phuongdoxuan7264]

Sao không thấy nói gì

[@DerangedSloth555]

lol, ~$240,000 in Singapore.

[@3656761]

Wow, outside update is nice...but inside looks CHEAP with hard, shiny plastic dash.

[@94navin]

on paper yes in real life up close it doesn't.

[@94navin]

majority of cars aren't built in U.S example ford ,gm ect are built in places like mexico and Korea.

[@net144]

Why do most vehicle videos show the tail pipes while the driver revs the engine to high rpms? What point is being made? I sure wouldn't learn much about a car or SUV by mashing the accelerator while the vehicle is standing still. Kind of stupid.

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

Exhaust sound
