Fpv F6x Vs Mazda Cx-9 Luxury

[RAPHOON]

We had this exact decision some time ago. The wife had a Mazda 6 previously and we really loved the service from the local Mazda dealer. We tested the CX7 and, although good, was not big enough and had no 7 seat option. We deliberately delayed our buying decision until the CX9 was available for a test drive. We found it way too large, cumbersome to park and further away from standard sedan handling/drivability. The 3rd row of seats in the CX9 are almost more comfortable than the middle row, but this comes at a price. the thing is BIG.

Next day the local Ford Dealer arrange for my wife to test the TTG overnight. She was sold on just the drive home. That was nearly 12 months ago and we still love the TTG. We don't use the 3rd row of seats often, but do come in very handy.

Typhoon air box, bung removed and slight touch up to the 0's and 1's sees the TTG with economy between mid 13's and mid 14's / 100km, with enough grunt to leave almost any standard HSV looking at the back of it disappearing into the distance. Truly a great car.

Head vs Heart stuff. I have owned a CX-7, (Great look, great build, bad on fuel, not great performance) and looked at the CX9. If the 7 seater issue is the big one it wins hands down as you can have 5, 6 and 7 seat options with access via the rear cargo area, and its a big mutha. But, the F6X goes like no other 7 seater near the money. So heart ruled for me and I have a more awkward 7 seater that goes. I too have the mods that means it goes even quicker but I have offset that by audiovisual stuff that adds weight.
