The 2007 Mazda CX-9 is an attractive and sporty crossover that boasts three rows of seats. The third row is easily accessible for small to medium-sized passengers, and there’s impressive cargo-carrying capacity with the seats folded. It looks great, with large wheels, boasts moderate power and a six-speed transmission that shouldn’t gouge at the pumps, has available AWD, and plentiful standard features. Those who enjoy Mazda’s trademark sport tuning and have the need of a larger vehicle to carry family and friends will find this a pleasant package.
