" Somehow Mazda seems to inject a soul into just about every car it makes. The new CX-9 is no exception. The CX-9 shares its mechanicals with the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. All three use the same 260-hp-plus 3.5-liter V6, but only the Mazda gets a sporty version of the six-speed transmission. So, the Mazda has its own personality. Careful suspension tuning makes the CX-9 more capable -- and more fun. There&amp;#039;s very little body roll in the corners and the grip is surprising. During our test drive in Southern California, we found the 18-in. tires delivered a better ride than the up-level 20-inchers, though high-speed cornering was compromised. But, hey, this is a large crossover, not a sport sedan. When you&amp;#039;re behind the wheel of a Mazda, it&amp;#039;s like driving a bargain BMW. The CX-9 is a $30K-$40K seven-passenger crossover with a lot of sportiness. Looks like a big wagon, doesn&amp;#039;t drive like one. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
