2008-2016 Mazda CX-9
Full-size Crossover
The seven-passenger CX-9 is one of the best handling vehicles in this large crossover class. It provides a good feel on the road, and the engine is one of the most responsive for a vehicle that can carry the whole family. Its ability to carry people but still be a bit of a driver's car is likely why the CX-9 is recommended by Consumer Reports and Consumer Digest named it a Best Buy. All-wheel drive is optional.
