Great vehicle until it wasn’t
We had a 2013 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring. Loved it! We had all the bells and whistles and plenty of room for our family of 5. Our main use was taking it on trips all over the United States. On a trip, over 1,000 miles away from home, with only 109,000 miles on the vehicle, our engine blew. No problems up until that point. We had the oil changed every 5,000 miles and other preventative maintenance. We had to have the exhaust fixed. Tires replaced once. We were going to replace with a new Mazda CX-9 but after the engine blew we changed our mind quickly. At this point I would say we will not be buying another Mazda.
