I had a very disappointing day today. I have researched and anticipated purchasing a 2021 Mazda CX9 GT. Finally, I was able to drive the CX9. I was totally disappointed with the vehicle. I suppose I had been abducted by the Mazda enthusiasts, but the car is too big for the 4 banger. Too slow with sluggish acceleration. The seats are uncomfortable, the front seat is too short (I am only 5-9) and not comfortable. My wife feels the same. My daughter sat in the back and said the seats were very uncomfortable (She owns a 2019 CX5). I settled for a Toyota Highlander XSE V6 which was more comfortable, more responsive,and fun to drive. Sorry, Mazda, the CX9 isn't for me. I wish all owners and prospective owners all the best with your vehicles, but this vehicle is not for me.
