Wow, we both have 2006 Civic and 2018 CX-9 machine grey. I compared both of mines as well and once car worms up enough HVAC perform similar. The issue I have with the CX-9 is untill it gets driven at speed for few minutes, the air coming from vents is cold and not full speed. Once the temp gauge...

Took my 2018 CX-9 for service today and they had installed the updated Mazda connect version 70 firmware to fix some issues. But without corresponding usb hub no android auto/car play options. Mazda Canada still has no availability info other than by end of year. Hopefully since I already have...
