Bottomline The 2008 Mazda CX-9 may be the best-driving full-size seven-passenger crossover out there. It is certainly one of the best looking and appointed. The 2009 Toyota Highlander's mass appeal has grown even more massive with the addition of a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine for base models.
