I am in love everyone.
Like head over heels in love and it is not with my beau. Its with a beast on 4 wheels and this sucker is sick! Two weeks ago, I found myself driving the Mazda CX9 for a whole week and literally falling in love. I am talking heart palpitations, sweaty palms and that all over body blush when you see the object of your affection. That was me with this baby.
The first thing I noticed was the exterior. I have a thing for the grills on cars. I like cars to look mean. I want the lights to look like they are mean muggin’. I want to feel a bit terrified at the power that the automobile may have and yes I can see that all in the headlights aka eyes. The Mazda CX9 has some oh so sexy eyes. The exterior has such sex appeal that frankly I didn’t care about the guts aka interior……. well until I stepped my stilettoed foot inside.
Ohhhhh wee! That burgundy leathered interior is plush. The seats were buttery soft and on those cold days, the seat warmers came in handy. My absolute favorite feature involved the sound system though. My father, may he rest in peace, had an obscene love affair with Bose speakers so seeing these in the Mazda CX9 certainly played on my emotional strings. While I did not sit back there, the shades on the back doors certainly came in handy on an abnormally sunny Saturday morning. Yes you read that correctly. Shades as in curtain-ish sun blockers to help keep those in the back seats from being blinded or overheated by the sun. Dope right?
I am going through serious withdrawal pains writing this honestly. I have been blessed with many cars over my blogging career but this one is at the top of my list.
The pot holed abundant DC roads can wreak havoc on even the best shock absorbers but the Mazda CX9 handled them like the champ it is. The ride was very smooth.
It just so happened I had a pretty important football game to play in over the weekend and this car was truly beneficial in hauling all the football gear and even toting some teammates around.
I am truly trying to think about any negatives with the Mazda CX9 and having extreme difficulty finding them. And I can find negatives with any and everything. This car is truly beauty and the beast!
Many thanks to Drive Shop USA for partnering with me on this. You’ve opened my eyes to the world of Mazda and I may become a very loyal fan for life!
