Regardless of whether you live in La Crosse or West Salem, Dahl Mazda is willing to bet that even if you don't own a Mazda CX-9, you have at least heard of it. As Motor Trend magazine says, "...a high-speed, canyon-carving seven-seater, the CX-9 is severely gifted."¹

The Mazda CX-9 has earned several positive reviews from some of the industry's most highly esteemed critics in recent years, and has taken home four distinguished awards. At the end of 2011, the SUV earned one a place at the top of U.S. News and World Reports' "Affordable Midsize SUVs" list.

What seems to be consistent in all of the critics' reviews of the Mazda CX-9 include:

• Small-car zip
  
• Fun driving experience
• Precise handling
• Sophisticated good looks
  
• Highly competitive resale value within the full-size SUV segment.
  

Edmunds.com, goes on to say, "...[The Mazda CX-9] should be required driving for those who say that full-size SUVs are, by definition a snooze to pilot - it whips through corners and hustles down straightaways like a vehicle half its size."¹

If you are wondering at what cost does the Mazda CX-9 SUV's power come, you will be happy to know that Mazda did not sacrifice fuel-economy for power. Even with 273 horsepower, the CX-9 still offers a competitive 24 mpg/hwy.

Looking for more MPG's? Dahl Mazda is happy to inform you Mazda is launching an even more fuel-efficient CX variant, the CX-5 this year. It is set to hit our showroom in February, and features an EPA-estimated 33 mpg/hwy! Get all the convenience of an SUV without sacrificing an ounce of fuel economy.
