I will admit that I didn’t see the point of the Mazda CX-8 when it was first launched. Yes, us Pinoys love our three-row vehicles, but Mazda isn’t exactly the first brand that comes to mind when it comes to these.
The stretched rear doors skews the proportions of the car, but it doesn’t ruin the overall look. I will, however, admit that I prefer the rear end treatment of the CX-8 over the CX-5. In my eyes at least, it looks more grown up and more mature with those longer tail lights. But, what about the third-row, you ask? It’s…actually not too bad. Again, those seats are best reserved for children and the, um, vertically challenged, but it’s alright for the most part. If anything, it’s about the same as larger, bulkier pickup-based SUVs.As for space, it’s what one expects with the third-row propped up. There’s just about enough for small bags. Thankfully, the false floor frees up more vertical space to allow loading of taller items and eke out a few more liters of room.
A car like this has no right to stop and steer this well, and yet it does. The weighty steering gives more than enough feel and feedback, and there is some fun to be had around the bends. It’s not as sharp as its shorter sibling, but considering what it is, the CX-8 offers wonderful dynamics.It doesn’t come at the expense of comfort, either. The best way to describe the ride is supple.
