2008 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD Road Test

I don't usually make comparisons when assessing a vehicle's strengths and weaknesses. Instead, I consider said model for what it truly is, even though it competes in a well-defined market segment. But in the case of Mazda's CX-9, I had almost no other choice: this new crossover shares a lot of visual similarities with its little brother, the CX-7.
