The Mazda’s 2+2+2 configuration makes the car’s middle row feel like something out of Business Class, or at least Premium Economy.APPARENTLY it's not length that counts, but how you use it. What to do with 9 inches? If you're Mazda, you take it and add it to the wheelbase of one of your best cars. Never mind what I would have done.
At S$158,888 with Certificate Of Entitlement, the six-seater costs S$1,000 more than the equivalent seven-seater, which makes things interesting, because what true Singaporean could stand the thought of paying more for less? Whatever the seat count, the CX-8 is a nice car to drive. It's a good showcase of what Mazda has to offer, in that it feels like something tuned by people who both care about driving and know what they're doing. The steering feels nicely weighted, and for a relatively tall car the Mazda is so graceful around bends that it ought to wear a tutu. The suspension is definitely on the firm side, however, which probably explains why the handling feels so taut.
Of course, the CX-8 is still a Sport Utility Vehicle , and only a dingbat would buy one of those for driving pleasure. Above all, this is a car for families, and it fulfills that role well.
