Kid Tested

The girls had a great time in the back seat of the 2014 Mazda CX-9, on our trip to Houston for a rodeo. My 8 & 10 year old said they had plenty of room to strech out and keep their stuff. My 8 year old Jaci, even noted that the leather seats were super comfy. With the 3-zone climate control, everyone pretty much was comfortable during the ride.

As for me, I thought the ride and handling of the road was superb! The 2014 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring definetly grabbed hold of the road and was able to safely and effectively get my family and I to our destination. With the 20 in wheels on the Grand Touring model, I could tell we where high off the ground, but the dynamic stability control kept it a relaxing ride. As far as the interior of the 2014 Mazda CX-9, I appreciated the close net of gauges, radio/climate controls, navigation, and blind spot monitoring.

If you are looking for a well rounded mid-size SUV, I would consider the 2014 Mazda CX-9 for the whole family.

Things have been a little different this year, but Things have been a little different this year, but as far as school, not much as changed for us. #BrandPartner

Our girls have continued to homeschool through school closures, just as we’ve done for over a decade.

Online classes for many though have been an adjustment, and they can really slow down a home network with multiple devices.

Luckily #Verizon offers fast, reliable 5G internet in the #Dallas area!
