Hi All: I’m new to the sub and would like some feedback on the Mazda CX-90. We’re buying my wife a new SUV and it caught my eye, but I’ve never owned a Mazda before so I was hoping for some advice on what you like/don’t like, etc. Thank you!

    I was looking for a new vehicle and was highly considering the cx90. Test drove telluride, pallisade, honda pilot. After reading lots a review and going back to mazda for a second test drive of the cx90, I personally was not too impressed with the drive of the cx90. Palisade and telluride were nice but too made bad reviews about them. Honda pilot way too overpriced for what you get. So I test drove 2023 cx9 and really liked but could find the trim that i wanted so settle for mazda cx9 2021 gt. I have a friend who has a cx90 and they love it and maybe it takes a little getting use to a new car or so. Hope this helps.

      I did a similar comparison back in 2020 and ended up with a 2021 GT. Like it, but did since test drive the VW Atlas which is quite similar in price, but has noticeably more interior space - especially in the rear seats.

      The tailgate also opens higher on the VW Atlas - on the Mazda CX9 I still bang my head from time to time because it doesn’t open very high. I’m 5’11”.

      As a parent, I am envious of friends with the Atlas.

      The extra interior space comes from the shorter hood/front end. The Mazda looks great, but its front end takes up roughly 1 foot more space / length than the VW. The VW puts this space to use in the interior cabin - rear seat space and third row

      Actually I am in the same situation. I got my 2023 CX 9 touring plus when I was thinking CX 90 is too big. However I am not regret by getting the CX 9 at all. Also I don’t buy anything first generation. Let Mazda iron out any bugs for at least 3 generations first.
