Thinking of buying the 2012 Mazda CX-9?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Mazda CX-9 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2012 Mazda CX-9 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the CX-9
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The 3.7L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 12.1 L/100 km, means roughly 36 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $56.28 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the CX-9
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
A test week in the CX-9 tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CX-9 answers the big questions.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.76 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.60 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
One more step
