2016 Mazda CX-9: The BEST USED Family SUV?

[@lizzyhogg2845]

I have a 2018 Mazda Cx-9 and it's the best!! My daughter is picking her 2016 Mazda Cx-9 Touring up this weekend. She got for just under 19k with 75k miles. Great deal!

[@BririshBoy]

I have owned a 2018 Grand Touring with the Soul Red Metallic/Tan leather interior combo for almost 2 years. I currently have 62k miles and have had no issues. I agree about how fun this car is to drive and the "premium" feel def punches above it's price point. The best feeling is all random compliments I get from strangers whonaren't familiar with the Mazda brand. Completely happy with my purchase and I was a DEVOUT Toyota guy previously.

After driving a float-boat 2011 honda Odyssey i fell in love immediately. Reminds me of my 2000, and 2005 honda Odysseys with stiff suspensions and crisp steering!

[@kristofferrecio427]

I actually own a used 2019 CX-9 GS trim which I got last year. After 1 year of use, the only problem I got was a battery change. I was still lucky that it was still under warranty and had it replaced with a new battery for free.

[@joebass5163]

That's real wood trim, not plastic 👍. We bought a used 2020 with 6.6k miles and now have 40k. I've done all the oil changes and did the spark plugs at 38k. The car has been very reliable and hopefully it lasts a few years.

[@yournightmare9999]

To early for changing spark plugs

[@luvinliv8980]

I just purchased a CX-9 and absolutely love it!

[@mattatkins5333]

Had ours a month and it's by far our favorite vehicle either one of us has owned

[@amitmou2009]

The corners are fun in this car 😂

[@sarahtaylor2489]

I just bought a Signature CX-9, absolutely love it

[@petersuvara]

Beautiful car, we got the 22 Azami LE (Signature in Australia) model. Stunning.

[@afzalshaikh2128]

I’m in the market and it’s either this or vw atlas. Waiting for rates and crazy prices to stabilize. Congratulations

[@Aztahs]

just got a 2022 touring plus. absolutely love it.

[@Subypowa]

Great review, we are currently looking at a 2016-2017 CX-9 and this video definitely assures me I had picked the right one. Thanks

[@ryeguy88]

I'm looking to buy one, same year, grand touring spec... has about 66k. I"m not too savvy on their common drivetrain or engine issues, but wondering if the extended is a must. i really like these cars and the 2016s are at a good price right now.

[@thoughts7107]

So, when you chose CX9 that really means its a SPORTY suv, because I am sure you wouldn't go anything less being a driving enthusiast . I bought a 2020 100th anniversary CX 9 and virtually I dont want to get out of the car because its that nice and sporty. Thanks this review and cant wait to see more modifications from you :)

[@LensOfMartin]

Thanks for watching! They are definitely very nice and I’m glad I picked something that can be fun to drive. As an enthusiast I give it 5 stars ⭐️

[@thomasmcginnis7526]

I have 2021 cx 9 signature. I love it.

[@seanmarshan3169]

Thank you for this review! I am in a similar situation and this was very helpful

[@driliagor]

Two tone interior looks very luxurious

[@bill7481]

I got CPO 2019 Signature summer 2021. Great vehicle! This thing is a great cruiser; it’s very quiet. You will enjoy road trips with your family. If my previous Mazda experience is any indication, you should have a worry-free ownership experience. We gifted our 2005 Mazda 3 S to a friend after 13 years of ownership and over 213k miles on it.

[@DGYtown]

I have an Acura MDX and I love it. Wish it was awd but I live in costal North Carolina so don’t really need it. I would consider the Mazda

[@philo5096]

Great lookin suv, but they got rid of the V6, a great engine. Everyone is going with the 4 cylinder turbo, its weak and loud. Bring back the 6, why do these car companies always have to ruin everything.

[@amitmou2009]

In australia, if you can afford to fill up with 98 fuel, the car increaes in power and torque..i love the engine sound too..

[@lvcandlelight]

I still have this vehicle ( 2016 exact same model). Still good to go!

[@Ashtongr44]

I have a 2020 cx9 and can say it's the best SUV for the money. Also searching for a ISF!

[@ALFREDP-k8d]

We have a 2016 Grand Signature. It has been a great ride until now. I started smelling the sweet smell of coolant a few weeks ago. Soon after, droplets on the ground. Researched coolant leaks on 2.5 Skyactive turbos. There is a TSB regarding an issue with bad castings on cylinder heads. Unfortunately, not covered past warranty. Fortunately I have an extended warranty and am waiting to see how much of this $7400 estimate will be covered 😢😢😢😢

[@steveshumate1983]

The shifter thing must be to mimic a manual transmission. typically to down shift you would push the shifter up and the reverse.

[@LensOfMartin]

I think it’s a motorsport thing maybe. I’ve owned and driven many manual cars and it still doesn’t feel right to me, but maybe because my Lexus (and other autos with manual mode) have upshift as up and downshift as down 🤔 But they also have paddles shifters, where the CX-9 doesn’t. 🤷‍♂️

[@steveshumate1983]

@@LensOfMartin You're probably right about motosports. For instance i thin k most rallycross type cars only do up and down shifting like that, and i'm sure other types do as well

[@hbuniotto]

How did you add Apple CarPlay?

[@PictureProStudios]

Good review ! I’ve been shopping for one for about a month. I have some hesitation from some of the issues I’ve read about. Sounds like it’s been great for you! How has it been ? How long do you plan on keeping it ? Have you noticed any rust on the roof ? Any issues with infotainment system ?

[@noahibanez7771]

Man every car has its issues no car is perfect.

[@vincestone5465]

Keep us updated on how the reliability is!

[@LensOfMartin]

I think if it lasted 78k with no issues it’ll be fine long term but let’s see

[@rizwann123]

My 2013 model still running like a new. 10 years in very minimal maintenance.

[@gixxr88]

The skyactiv has proven to he extreme reliable

[@vip9380]

Made in Japan 👍👍👍

[@guezcisco]

What year

[@michellej7734]

Do you have a video of the $100 upgrade????

[@LensOfMartin]

Unfortunately not but I’ve seen a few out there!

[@Vitaliy-zx1nz]

Mazda CX5 2021 2.5l 6 gear automatic is the best 👌

[@finogambino1]

I had 2016 cx9 and had coolant leak head gasket cost me $4k smh Mazda has a lot ford parts in it, after repairs never had issue

[@yournightmare9999]

After repairs do you have problems ?

[@finogambino1]

@@yournightmare9999no I didn’t besides that is great car

[@AisluDilmagambet]

Hi! How many miles were you at when that happened? Did it affect the engine? I am buying 115k 2016 cx9 soon and seems like coolant was changed at 66k miles…

[@jojocanque]

Why did the owner sell it?

[@LensOfMartin]

Probably got bored after 77k miles, and got a BMW. We got it from a BMW dealer, it was traded in

[@yournightmare9999]

​​@@LensOfMartinbmw is unreliable and expensive to fix compared to reliable Japanese cx9

[@colinvankeith4814]

It’s real rosewood, not plastic. It’s actually quite an exotic wood obtained from a Japanese guitar maker.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Sweet family car turbo is cool

[@DougEnthusiast122]

Shoot. I should have bought used. I spent 2x as much for a new one, dang.

[@LensOfMartin]

But low miles and factory warranty with new!

[@DougEnthusiast122]

@Marty Motoring I do love that new car smell. Haven't used the warranty yet. It hasn't has a single issue. In fact, we hit 20k miles yesterday, it's holding up very well!

[@morrisf3957]

my screen went in my 2019 beware only have 30k on car 2k fix not happy

[@elitemassage1092]

Mechanic on KZbin said that it's like a Ford because it has same parts.

[@LensOfMartin]

The 2015 and older were a Ford V6 but 2016+ is a new Mazda design, same engine they still have now in some models. Ford sold their Mazda shares and ended the partnership in 2015

[@santossalinas2683]

Yeah I keep hearing about how Mazda is really reliable lately.

[@LensOfMartin]

Yeah I think they came up with a good engine and trans combo that is proving their engineering works

[@docholliday2961]

Don't buy avoid at all cost 2016 / 2017 cracks on cilynder head !!!

[@Insanestsage]

Did this happen to you?

[@yournightmare9999]

Like you see he can't afford newest model 22 or 23

[@joecoffee968]

So in other words this is the Brave New World we live in where our choice is between a turbocharged four-cylinder that will likely fall apart after 100000 miles or a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder that has less power than a wind-up toy. Wow. Kind of depressing.

[@LensOfMartin]

Haha it’s not that bad. Plenty of these engines with close to 200k miles. But of course turbo means wear. The best options is a V6 but most manufacturers are going away from those. I like a V8 myself but when I do drive this Mazda, it’s a fun zippy little SUV. Feels more like a lifted wagon.

[@slapskate]

Got a used 2018 GT with 100k. Only been a couple weeks but so far so good. When he took that turn at 60 I thought he was a goner! 🫣
