Only problem is that there has been a few problems with the car, knocking noise in the engine, intermittantly rattling on the RHS when driving off. Tyres feathering on all 4 tyres (20k needs new tyres all around all pressure & alinement within factory spec) The only thing Mazda Aust will say is can't talk to you about it as they will only talk to the dealer. Also uses more fuel than the Holden 6lt V8 motor. 17.5 ltrs per 100km. Freeway on a trip 13.6ltrs per 100 km on cruise control. I challenged Mazda get anyway near what they claim, yet to hear from them. Well i have driven the CX-7 & 9. Handling is much better in the XC60. With the poor customer responce from Mazda, they missed out on a sale on a CX-9 as i just bought a XC60. Got rid of the CX-7 I currently drive a Mazda CX-7 great looking car, great on a twisty bit of road.

Volvo has XC90, Mazda has CX9. Volvo has XC60, Mazda has ***. Both have FORD ownership. You are being played! If you walk into a new car yard and the first words out of your mouth are,"what's your best price?", you are doomed to drive crap like TOYOTA. Volvo has XC70, Mazda has CX7.

Love it for a good family car on by disel engine. Good enough to run around with the family. I hope the XC60 can deliver more punch for the diesel over the XC90. :) May look into it to replace my CRV. Safety is No.1 for the family. No question ask! I am a volvo owner of XC90.

You really can't judge me if you don't know me. I have driven the CX-7 and 9 but they both have a few faults that annoyed/worried me enough not to consider either. And although the Mondeo is a very good car, it just just doesn't handle like a BMW. As I said before, you generally do get what you pay for... Richo,

In the US, there was a sub $10K difference between a volvo s60R (at about $55KUS, $100KAUD) and a BMW M3. In Oz, that difference was $70K. The jag xf in US is under $60K, with less than $10K difference between V8 and supercharged. In Oz, V8 is $140K, supercharged $170K. That said, there is something really sweet about the euros, even volvo (and I have had 5 of them)that is hard to kick, once you start, and makes them worth a bit extra once you are a convert. Then again, I'd go japanese again in a flash for the GTR, if I didnt have kids. all cars are overpriced in Oz, even Oz cars, but euro cars much more so.
