- So I drove the CX9 again. But instead of the Australian spec that we received earlier, it's the Malaysian version with higher spec and lower price. Full LED, auto folding mirrors, iActivSense but the prices dropped by RM10k. This is the FWD, which i think the 2.5 turbo overpowers it easily, so better spend the extra RM10k to get the AWD instead.

Your reviews are always spot on and captivating. Excellent job bro....... All the way from the Caribbean
Spot on in regards to the throttle and brake pedals feel.. Even on the aging RX-8, I can say that feeling and response with the pedal is what you were tyring to say.
17:54 after all these years still one of the most beautiful thumbnail you have
For mass market, I believe the Peugeot 3008 has a proper reverse camera with moving lines, and also 180 rear top view as well.
Sorry guys I meant MALAYSIA SPEC instead of CKD .... but I'm stupid so forgive me..
Bobby Ang should i buy cx-9 or vellfire?
No problem Bobby...no harm done
I would go for CX-9. But it's less spacious. But drives way better. Do you drive yourself?
Bobby Ang already test drive vellfire ,but not test drive cx-9
Bobby Ang those two car which is better for family trip
Got my cx 9 few days ago. I love it so much !! xc 60 not an option coz on and off I need 7 seater. xc 90 .. dunno but Volvo fans will disagree. I feel cx 9 is nicer on the driving dynamics compared to xc 90. Of course xc 60 is a class above xc 90 but not a 7 seater.
Great review. Keep it up.
Amazing review from a real user....please review more 7 seat mid sized under 65k SUVs...thankss
Hi Bobby, I got this car on Feb 3rd myself and I have nothing bad to say about it, it is a beautiful car and I get rave reviews on it... Everyone loves it. The heads up display is awesome as well.
Johnny Findley wait until the infotainment system keeps on restarting on it’s own for no reason.
I like mayonnaise too
Bobby. Great review. Got 2 questions - GVC work? Meaning better than Australia spec. What is the right tire if I change? Thanks. Benn
Bobby - In overseas comparisons from the US/Australia, CX-9 is neck and neck with Sorento. But price differential is huge in MY due to local assembly dynamics. Which one do you prefer ?
14:22 "we do it safely fast and don't harm anybody" then got motor going opposite direction xD
Awesome! 👍👍👍
Which is a better buy? Cx9 or xc90 t5 momentum?in terms of interior space for 3rd row, comfort and features wise? Is the momentum powerful enough or underpowered for its weight? I'm not a fan of hybrid
Bro nice review ..make more review on local and continental car as well asian
very good bobby
Welcome to Subang!
Hi bobby. What do u think of CKD vs CBU quality for mazda?
Hi Bobby I need help and you are the only reviewer whos opinion I'll follow. Live in Australia and I can't decide between the cx9 or the Infiniti qx70 diesel. Yes cx9 is the practical smart choice but the qx70 looks cool. Which would you choose for long distances and quality build. Thank you for your help and great content.
This has the presence
Hi Bobby! Please make a review for the new myvi!
My E66 has split armrests with 2 buttons to open left and right, so does he F02 7 Series.
Harrier Turbo review pls, but wow 1 year wait thats crazily long
Hi Bobby, is CX9 AWD better? Better traction? I also like CX9 (almost went to showroom after listening to you) but my pain points as follows:
1. Lack of cargo cover when the 3rd row seat is folded. This will expose my bags and susceptible to break in.
2. Lack of 3rd row air cond vents. Why? why? why? hot lah back there...no mobile phone charging points also.
3. Lack of panoramic moon roof. Good to have as it can brighten up the interior but not priority.
4. US has the signature trim with nicer nappa leather seats in red color. I don't think I seen it in Malaysia/ Singapore version yet.
5. Turn signal not in LED where everything else is LED. Why? Why?
If all these are in, then it is quite perfect. Maybe you could reflect these 5 points to Mazda if they asked for feedback from car reviewer like yourself.
Awesome review. But my heart is still with the new XC60 which cost only slightly more
Oh ... i'd take the Volvo too. Too good.
If you like the black, grey, white or silver color only
What's the average fuel consumption for the car like?
Hi Bobby i hope you see this. Been a while since i’ve watched your videos but i hope you stick to this format where you drive around while talking about it THEN do a walk around!
Thanks. I always tried to, just that there are times i don't get to do a walk around due to tight schedules. And my previous CX9 video I lost the driving footage. LOL
bobby,how you think cx 5 compare to proton x 70??
Do they have plan for ckd?
This is a fantastic car and I’m cursing Mazda UK for not allowing it in the UK !!
Europeans generally don't like large premium cars from mass market brands. And Brits somehow, are extremely brand conscious maybe.
Hi Bobby
I love the way you give your reviews about the cars.. i recently checked out CX 9 at one of the Mazda Showrooms.. I saw that the car had Bridgestone tyres and not the falkon ones which you named in this video..
Additionally does Mazda have any plans of CKD version?
Look forward to your response.. Thanks
There are no plans for CKD
nice review bobby...what do u reckon of cx8 compared to cx9?
CX8 is based on the CX5, think of it as a CX-5 Long Wheel Base version. So it's narrower and lighter. The CX9's interior quality and sound proofing is not something the CX8 can match I presume given where the starting point is.
Bobby is the Hummer H3 a looker car?
thanks Bobby!
What a fantastic Suv car! I am planning to have mazda 3 in a fews months ahead. What do you think about this one? Thank you.
Get the mazda 3! Cx9 is lovely
My AWD uses 14.5L per 100km. Normal?
Hi Bobby Ang....Can review detail about Haval H9...TQ!
Haval never contacted me to pass me a car and i seldom request for cars .... so .... i will wait ... haha
Which one is the most relacing suv between Mazda CX9 and BMW X5 xDrive40e ?
Relaxing you mean? The CX9 is quieter, the X5 has one of the most comfortable suspension. In terms of space the X5 is rather tight, but handling and performance and drive i think the X5 is better, albeit a bit more roll than I would prefer.
Nice review Bobby. Worth the price you think?
Very much. It is RM175k cheaper than the Lexus RX350L. Same build quality and sound proofing. And the third row fits me perfectly, i am 5 foot 11.
Bobby Ang That speaks of volume. Awesome
Wait for cx8
when cx8 expected to be launched?
Hi Bobby, I know it has been a year plus u review the car but finally I will need the space for my enlarge family. I love all your reviews and I am down to the only question I have which is FWD or AWD. Which in general point of view is safer. I don't do off road..it is a car for my wife to carry my little one to school and mall.
Please get the AWD. The 2.5 Turbo's power delivery is explosive, plenty of wheelspin for FWD.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia
Thanks Bobby. It is just a salesmen told me that after a while the FWD will somehow develop some noises from the tyre or suspension, I don't know what's it call. You know la, salesmen talk. I have made the booking today but still changeable tomorrow, I really appreciate an expert opinion here. Will it be too much of maintanance issue on AWD vs FWD? My wife only drive about 110 max and hardly accelerates. But if you tell me overall AWD is safer, then I will go with AWD. Apologise on long enquiries. I have been your great follower since you have been a CZcamsr
got my CX9 3 weeks ago. absolutely love it. My problems with the car is as what you've mentioned in the video, low res reverse cam and the bonnet strut, WTH right? oh one more thing, the malaysian/aussie spec doenst come with Mazda Radio Cruise Control too, which is a really huge bummer. would have made my "balik wife's kampung" so much more pleasant if it came with MRCC. I would definitely recommend this car to those who are looking for a 7 seater SUV.
Great choice Jun Chow. Its a lovely car.
Danny Lim, thanks yeah it sure is. sold my subbie legacy GT and got this one due to family expansion, pretty anxious at first but i guess i've made the right choice.
Congrats on your choice! How's the ron 97 consump? As bad as subie? Haa.... haaaa....
I still keep my 12yo legacy gt-b spec wagon.... you shouldn't part from it, it is a legend!!!
By the way.... is that austin aries??
Bobby, please do a video showing us all of your cars.
Also, what do you think of buying a 2005 bmw e6o?
I only have two. Audi S4 Avant and a BMW 640i Cabrio. I also bought a Toyota Crown for my father, i've reviewed all three cars in my channel. Enjoy!
Your opinion of the e60?
Thx Bobby, really like ur videos
Which E60? If you're going for the M5 I say go ahead! Well to be honest, the E60 is a beautiful car, and I reckon the design lasts a million years.
Bobby, this vs xc90 what say you
hey bobby if you absolutely had to choose between the cx5 2.2fwd, tiguan highline and peugeot 3008 allure. which one would you pick and whyv
If i don't have to consider after sales at all, then the Peugeot.
Bobby Ang any particular reason?
Cos we havent good news about their service unfortunately .... we know some dealers are better but unfortunately we do not know which.
Bobby Ang so which would you choose , keeping after sales in mind
Hi Bobby, what do you think of Mazda CX9 vs Lexus RX. Which one to buy? Does CX9 stands up to Lexus in terms of NVH and reliability?
The CX9 is quieter hahaha but Lexus being a luxury car, comes with proper tyres, the Mazda CX9's original stock Falken ZX tyres are rubbish, throw them away immediately. 😂
Thanks Bobby!
15:00 Mazda would frown at your chase over the speed bump. But I enjoyed it all the more thank you.
Hi Bobby I thought this version is still fully cbu from Japan instead of CKD?
Ah I'm such an idiot .... i meant Malaysian version but my brain kept putting out CKD ..... thanks for reminding and pointing out the mistake .... .shouldn't do late night work anymore.... haha
Hi Bobby, for the similar price tag between CX9 and GLC 200, which one would you go for? Would the CX9 2nd hand car value be very bad after 5 years?
All cars have bad 2nd hand value now. But one way to know you have a better control is the sheer number of cars on the road. The more the lower the used value will be. The 2015 Merc E300 is now RM175k. The old CX9 had bad resale due to the huge 3.7 litre engine.
Thanks for your reply Bobby, I would definitely give this CX9 a good look, and yeah will you opt the GLC 200 over this one?
Nope. Not the GLC200
Thanks Bobby
Bobby Ang what about GLC 250 Coupe
The gear knob is too close which blocking the aircond controls and touch screen too small atleast larger size like Tiquan or 3008.
Cx9 or xc90? Confuse
Bobby..is this car 300k?
The reason I subscribed was because you don't drive within the speed limits 😅
hi Bobby can cx9 beat xc90 in all other aspect beside power? Like comfort, build quality, sound proofing and such, or are they neck to neck? Can you name one thing u like the most in Cx9 and one in xc90 beside power, thanks booby.
- 3rd row seats XC90 is wayy better.
- Technology of infotainment system
- Overall interior build and ambience (CX9's front passenger compartments are comparable and very well built, but second row and third onwards you will find XC90's consistency fare better than the obvious cost optimisation of the CX9 further back you go.
- Handling CX9 is better but XC90 not off in anyway
- 4WD XC90 better
- Sound proofing CX9 is quieter than XC90
- CX9's tyres are absolute rubbish and XC90 specced in the best SUV tyres money can buy.
- XC90 feels like a proper RM750k (tax free hence RM420k) and CX9 feels like a RM500k car selling at RM300k
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thnx bobby, really appreciate your reply, very details comparison too, i know what to look for now when im going to shop for this 2 cars, thanks.
Mazda should give continental MC6 as standard to this cx9..
Agreed. The Ziex are comfortable enough but really not grippy
Hi Bobby. Any 3rd row air-conditioning?
Nope but the second row and first is powerful enough to quickly cool the cabin down
good
Is the CX8 as comfortable as the CX9, considering the interior is very similar?
Nope. CX9 is another level.
Bobby, do you think the 3rd row in this car is spacious than the Toyota Fortuner's 3rd row?
WAY better than the Fortuner's.
Thanks!
how does it compare with XC60 ?
XC60 is one size smaller. This is same class as XC90. But of course without the high tech bits of the XC90. And of course the XC90's performance is crazy at 407hp and 640Nm. This only has 228hp and 420Nm.
hey Bobby , is the mazda cx 9 more spacious and more comfortable than the audi q7 and volvo xc 90 ?
Not as spacious. Not as comfy. But larger and handsomer
Bobby then which is more spacious , the q7 or xc90 ? Which one would u buy ?
I know that road!
you just said that harrier from umw toyota has a year waiting period????really
that's what i heard ....
When we drive we don't do it legally. Lmao love your reviews Bobby.
so, cx9 way quieter and comfortable than harrier turbo?mohon pencerahan
Yes it is. And it handles. The Harrier's ride might be slightly better, especially those with 17/18" tyres. This is 20 inches.
better wait for cx8
CX8 os a stretched CX5. Not as big or as premiun build. But in Japan CX8 sold like mad cos they dont like huge cars likt the CX9
Bobby Ang well new santa fe will be the contender then.i hope it has better pricing than cx9
totally different class of vehicle .... big difference .... this is straight up the quality levels of Lexus RX.
+Archangel 28 you should test drive both cars and compare them yourself before calling someone else stupid
Let me dissect your points one by one so we can have a mature debate:
Point 1: You said the RX is more boring to drive - that gives CX9 one point according to you.
Point 2: You said the RX is more relaxing to drive - that gives RX one point according to you.
No winners
Point 3: You said the CX9 had engine issues, here's a link to 'a couple of RX owners having engine issues too - www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/lexus.html); you see, that's why car makers give warranty. Saying a particular car has a few problems is like saying some KFC weren't seasoned well, it's a moot point. And if a few cars have engine issues means they cannot be compared to the RX, then would you compare an RX to a Cayenne or X5 or GLE? Cos I'm pretty sure those German boys have way more.
No winners
Point 4: You said your stitchings are better. No one doubts Lexus stitchings, but if it were about differences in interior build, then may I raise you a Volvo XC90 or an Audi Q7? Where their differences in interior build quality (i say build quality, not reliability) compared to the RX is far greater than the differences between the RX and CX-9.
All I get from your too lazy to type comment is that you're pissed someone said the CX-9 is straight up there with your Lexus RX - which to me, the RX is great, beautiful, luxurious, smooth running etc; but it's not the best car since sliced bread - neither the CX-9. But to see Mazda making a car that matches up to a Lexus, considering one is a tiny Japanese car maker while the other is a juggernaut, I give credit where credit is due.
And from where I'm from, the CX9 costs RM300k, and the RX350L costs RM475k (divide by 4 to get USD).
the interior of Santa Fe is the best of all similar SUVs
I just cannot watch the driving on the other side. What couldn't we make that universal?
Because of Napolean, and Americans, read it up. Very interesting. The world started with right hand drive.
No 3rd row air vents! Wtf Mazda!
exactly. I was hoping they have 3rd row air vents. I'm with you bro. Mazda engineer dun sit at 3rd row seats in real life...sigh
That tire are horrendous.
These tires are quite bad...
Lost me after you called the Passat amazing. I found even the Accord to be more fun to drive.
Maybe you dont know how to drive properly like a illegally speeding hooligan.
Bobby Ang guess I don't. Driving (legally) like a sane person, I found the Accord more to my liking.
Accord is a great car. Comfortable, smooth. But put it on twisty roads, the Passat will leave it for good.
u really have not driven the passat i guess , comparing both is jus morally wrong...
Hi bobby. I m split between this and xc90. Mazda strength, driving experience smooth and quiet. Xc90 a bit firmer ride. Volvo, the full safety suite auto pilot that Mazda can't match. Fuel consumption better with better performance dt phev. What would be your choice between these two.
