 I was drooling on this car for quite a while and I am glad I listen to my heart and bought it. It was matter of just one test drive and i make up my mind to choose it over Highlander. I Never considered the Pilot after reading horrible consumer reviews on Edmund.The CX-9 looks stunning from every angle and gets so many compliments on its looks. The ride and handling is superb. My second car feels like a burden to drive. I got the Signature trim with auburn color interior and it just took the interior to the whole new level. Material quality, fit and finish is top notch. I liked the infotainment systems a lot. Very easy to use with knob and does not demand a lot of your attention to operate. Screen display is crisp and fast once it is up.  Engine on performance side is great. It does not feel under powered at all. I am getting 20 mile right now in mixed driving and would like to see it improve after first service. Plenty of room in second row and third row is also very accommodating for short trips. The second row operation to provide access to third row could have been better. Overall a great car.
