Before anyone says minivan...
They are banned at my place and I would get a p4xl before one of those pos with sliding doors. I'm thinking of Tesla X Range Rover Sport diesel Volvo xc90 For tesla... Note that we have the most expensive gas and cheapest electricity. For every 500$ fuel... I only need 50$ in electricity here. Regular gas is close to 5-6$/gallon electricity is 5.7ยข/kWh Range anxiety is not an issue. |

My wife has a Mazda CX-9. Hers is FWD but the also come in an AWD model. It's a close to a minivan as you can get without being one. It's got tons of space, and I have to admit, Mazda knows how to make fun driving machines. It drives like it's a much smaller car than it is. The transmission is always in right right gear and it has a great engine.

QUOTE (Steve91T @ Nov 15 2016, 09:44 AM)  My wife has a Mazda CX-9. Hers is FWD but the also come in an AWD model. It's a close to a minivan as you can get without being one. It's got tons of space, and I have to admit, Mazda knows how to make fun driving machines. It drives like it's a much smaller car than it is. The transmission is always in right right gear and it has a great engine. I think the CX-9 is a good option, and honestly a good one, mainly when you think about the "chassis" setting it comes with. I have a 2015 model, and although it is a fatty 2.3 ton (metric ton) SUV, it has close to 0 understeer, the rear end is well behaive under certain demand, and the V6 (I think the new one comes with a L4 turbo) comes with good punch to back things up. As you mentioned, the gearbox is really good. The only thing I did not like about my CX-9, is the fuel consumption (city driving = 11 mpg or highway = 19 mpg) level, which I think is high... No idea, how good it would be with the L4 turbo it comes with the new model (guess it will improve greatly). I tested when purchased my CX-9, other options, as: Explorer (too loose, engine not as "punchy"), Highlander (good, but the trans did not worked that well), Pilot (did not like the "chassis" tune up). Anyway, hope it helps. Rodolfo Lara |
