Guess which SUV won ? Hint,it will make you smile.

Three-Row SUV Test: VW Atlas vs. Dodge Durango, GMC Acadia, Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9 | Comparison Test | Car and Driver

Now if you could still get a factory cd changer in it, I would be happy. And if they could fix the too-wide center console so I didn't have leg interference. Oh well, can't have everything I guess. Congrats to Mazda anyway !

 

I have driven the new CX-9 a few times around town, and it is a great package for the money. No complains about the power (or lack thereof). Every long-term test report of the CX-9 compliments the low-end grunt even with passengers and load. That should put the speculation for the lack of power to rest.

PS: I wouldn't mind a Mazda SA V6 though.
