SPEAKER 01 :
But ultimately, it’s a 2025 Mazda CX-90. This is their three-row SUV. This particular model had their six kind of six-seat passenger configuration because this car does have a third row. Yes, is it a little bit smaller than some of those out there? Yes, but I will say this, that most of the cars in this segment, that third row, it’s for kids only. It’s not for four. size as old, and this car does it well. It’s got a lot of nice interior apportionments, a lot of nice physical buttons. For those of you who haven’t ran or touched a Mazda in a while, I encourage you to go out and do that because there’s actually some rather interesting… Well, I’ll just say, it just feels nice. It actually feels pretty well put together. The way the buttons feel, their infotainment system, while it takes a little bit of getting used to, it’s a really nice setup. The screen is nice. It’s easy to use and easy to operate. Price on this vehicle, Dad, $58,500, so under $60,000, and this is about the top of the line trim level that you can get. They have a one above it, which is the plug-in hybrid version of it, and obviously this vehicle is not that case. But it does have 340 horsepower, Dad, which is really great for the 3.3 liter. I think it’s an inline six, if I’m not mistaken, turbo engine in this vehicle. Fuel economy, Dad, 23 and 28 for an average of 25, which is really good for this segment, I will say. They’ve done a tremendous job there. Overall, I guess the only cons to me is even with that turbo engine, it’s got a little bit of lackluster acceleration, especially at our altitude. You’re buying a three-row, I’m going to call it kind of like that mid-size SUV, Dad, where you’re going to be able to haul kids around everywhere. You’re not really looking for a really big race spur. You’re not really going to run off the line as fast as you possibly can. But as far as the other interior apportionments… Heat and ventilated seats. Like I said, really nice, soft, you know, touch material. An easy-to-use CarPlay Android Auto display to where you can actually plug your phone in if you want to use it that way. I think they’ve got wireless as well, which a lot of these cars do these days, too. Worked really well. Was really impressed with it. And, again, this car, Dad… um they redesigned in 2024 and it’s one of our personal favorites and you and i were talking about this earlier we know folks that run their mazes for over 300 000 miles yep and so this is definitely a vehicle that that you can get that can grow with you and you know if you’ve got a family of Three right now, but maybe you’re thinking about adding some. I would highly encourage you. This is a super, super competitive segment, but one, and in this vehicle, I would say one that I would rank really, really high. Yeah, really quick.
SPEAKER 02 :
Mazda does a really great job of their apportionments for their price level and always have, and you get a lot of, let’s just say it this way, you get a lot of bang for the buck when it comes to Mazda.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, you do, and again, depending on how you want to set these cars up, right, they kind of do it based on trim level. That’s right. I’m looking at the window sticker right now. There’s not a whole lot of additions that you can put on these, but it makes it nice, right? You just kind of pick the trim level you want, which kind of comes with the stuff that you want on it, and they do a very nice job. Again, you get into this car, folks, and I’ll say this. It feels like a car that’s closer, about $10,000 more, right? Closer to $70,000 than it is $60,000. Just of how it feels, a lot of nice soft-touch materials throughout. So I encourage folks, get out, test drive these, dad. Head to your local Mazda dealer. And when you do that, let them know that John and Richard Rush from Drive Radio and Rush to Reason sent you.
