Re: 2016 Mazda CX9 Posted by cheaptech [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 2016 Mazda CX9, Brianatl ![]() |
Car and Driver gave the CX9 high marks, but found fault with the seats:
"In an effort to bring the CX-9’s noise levels upmarket, Mazda tells us it worked on suppressing the tire roar that plagued the previous CX-9. The replacement has a thicker floorpan, 53 pounds of sound deadening under the carpet, and an acoustically laminated windshield and front windows. The work pays off with a low 65 decibels of noise at 70 mph, four less than the last CX-9 we tested and the same as the Tesla Model X. Our only gripes up front are related to the seats. The driver’s chair doesn’t go low enough and needs more thigh support, and the
passenger’s seat produces the same complaints while lacking any height adjustment."
Overall I like the ergonomics of my 9-5, but whenever going on a longer trip we'll take the wife's Hyundai Sante Fe Sport - it doesn't drive as nice as the Saab but it's quieter, seats are comfortable and the HVAC is far superior . But I can't rest my left arm on the door as with the Saab.
Some things are fairly easy to adjust to and trade offs with most any vehicle.
