Like most Japanese brands, Mazda isn't offering anything as gauche as cash rebates. But, for those with good credit histories, zero-percent financing is available. That could mean thousands of dollars in savings on something like the CX-9
Voted "Truck of the year" by the same panel of auto writers that picked the Chevy Malibu "Car of the year" this year, the Mazda CX-9 tests the limits of just how car-like a big SUV can be. It's driving performance has been compared, quite credibly, to that of a BMW sedan.
At the same time it seats seven and, while you might not want to traverse the Badlands in it, the CX-9 can take off through heavy snow and rocky unpaved roads.
Still, these are hard times for even the best of SUVs as customers have turned back to lower-riding cars.
