I was intrigued by your question and had to look up information from car sources on both. Here is what I found. My comments are based on consumer reviews and editorials from writers for Motor Trend as well as Car an Driver magazines. The Volkswagen Toureg is somewhat of an exotic, it shares parts with the Porshe Cayenne and Audi's Q7. Parts are costly, the vehicle can be tempermental when it comes to reliability, service is expensive as well as at times it is a long wait for the part to come in. On the other hand the Toureg has an interior that is absolutely beautiful. It is a must see. The buyer has an option of getting a V8 or a TDI V10. Both are fine engines and yield 20 mpg, city. The Volkswagen is a 5 ton vehicle, but they claim it handles, to the point of being light on it's feet. This is the kind of vehicle that could become a collectible because of the few numbers built and sold with the TDI V10, despite the reliability questions and issues with the brand.
The Mazda Cx9 is as capable, but mileage is not it's virtue. On the sticker, Mazda claims 18 mpg, but consumers say 13-14mpg city. At this point no major recalls or complaints. People who have purchased the vehicle tend to highly recommend the Cx9. While Mazda does not have the interior craftsmanship apparent in the Volkswagen, the fit and finish is admirable and more than sufficient. You do not have to wait for parts, and those same parts do not cost an arm and a leg to purchase. The present day "bang for your buck" is solid in the corner of the MazdaCx9. To have this vehicle serviced is affordable. I have read that tires on the Toureg are spent after 30,000 miles. Now, that may need to be looked into further, since driving habits weigh heavily on the wear and tear on tires. However, tires for either vehicle will be costly. My recommendation is for you to test drive the "lesser vehicle" first. Which would be the Mazda in price. Then test drive the Volkswagen and see if "more" is what you get in content and product. If so, is it worth your hard earned money.

Mazda CX-9 gained the Motor style SUV of the three hundred and sixty 5 days in 2008. The sidestep adventure is the attempt via sidestep to stay 'cutting-edge' via easing out of the mini-van section (like various different producer). the upkeep would be comparable. The CX-9 has extra shipment room and is extra delicate for passengers. Plus, i think of that's extra valuable looking.

why wolud you even consider this german turd against a japanese anything, even the least expensive of korean cars give better service than a "tornrag" and not drip oil. at least a kia or hyundai's wipers will work in the rain or snow.
also forget the bmw x sssss they are plauged with electrical failures for cooling system .climate control, and power windows they have limited off road capabilities and are at best a snow car for posers.
