2018 Mazda CX-9 Signature

Test drove the 2018 Mazda CX-9 Signature based on the rave reviews it has been acquiring and it's quite fun to drive.

The engine reminds me of the Volvo XC90 I test drove a week ago with the torque readily available at 2K RPM 4-cylinder engine.

The technology package is included in the GT and Signature trim and price point of $52,000CAD or $45,000US is not bad at all.

The only usable tech missing that I use daily is the Surround View or bird's eye view.

Signature Model

PROS
cockpit-style seating
handling, low-end torque
full technology package minus Surround View
decent mpg, takes Regular fuel
Nappa leather

CONS
limited lumbar adjustment (forward and back only)
manual telescopic steering wheel adjustment
no panoramic roof and Surround View
only 3,500 lbs. towing capacity
less intuitive infotainment versus iDrive
excessive lower body molding plastic cladding
plastic-chrome interior trim
smaller headroom for second and third row
no CD player
no HVAC on 3rd Row
no trunk or privacy cover
