Ever since I was introduced to the Mazda brand back in 2003 when I bought my Mazda Protege, I’ve been taking a look at their cars as they remodeled them and changed names. For instance: The Mazda Protege is now a Mazda 3. Looks super cool and sporty; totally something I would drive if I didn’t have 3 children. My brother in law has a Mazda 6 and that year’s car was sexy. So when I first saw the Mazda CX-9 in the last 2-3 years, I fell in love.
I believe the next step in my car journey is an SUV and I have 3 different models in mind. However, the Mazda CX-9 was always my first love. You’ll have to check it out with me.

My very favorite thing and must have when it comes to an SUV is 3 rows. I have 2 growing boys, one who is getting close to being as tall as me. And we’re just going to need the space. 3 rows means 7 seats. That also means I can pick up my nieces and nephew and we can all go somewhere. I’ve never been able to do that because 6 children either means an SUV or Minivan.
One thing I don’t love? The mileage. I’m used to my cars getting at least 33+ miles per gallon because I’m a little crazy about conserving gas. I’m not sure how well I’ll take to switching from a small car to a larger one that uses way more gas. It might bother me just a little. But we’ll all love the space.
