The 2012 Mazda CX-9 range of configurations is currently priced from $5,990.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Ewan Kennedy had this to say at the time: You get a lot of family wagon at a pretty reasonable price in the Mazda CX-9. Add that to the immaculate build quality and the reputation for reliability that Mazda has built in up in almost 50 years in the Australian market and it’s hard to go past this bold looking new version.

So many things affect road noise, which makes it difficult to fix. There’s the road surface itself, the tyres, and the noise insulation in the vehicle. The Honda CR-V might well be quieter, but could still be noisy on the roads you drive on. If the road noise is the thing that is making you switch vehicles, then it might be worth talking to a tyre dealer about a tyre that might be quieter than the ones on your Kluger. If you want to go down that road, you could try a Mazda CX-5 or CX-7, a Kia Sorento or Sportage, Toyota RAV4.

While its age could be of concern the kilometres are low, so that should give you some comfort going forward. There shouldn’t be any great concern about potential problems, ad long as it has been properly maintained, and you continue to service it as required.

The Discovery 4 is highly regarded by owners. It’s a very capable off-roader, comfortable and refined on the road, and there are few issues to worry about. Service costs are high if you use a factory dealer, but there are plenty of independent mechanics able to take care of it for you. When checking a Discovery check for use off-road, and look for one that has been pampered within the town boundaries. If you don’t want a car that will go off-road perhaps look at a Toyota Kluger 7-seater or a Mazda CX-9.
