I just had the front end of my 2018 Sig dressed up with Expel PPF, and my only regret is that I didn't consider it - and do some research - sooner. With about 18k mostly hi-speed highway miles, the "peppering" of the leading surfaces were beginning to add up, not to mention continuously removing...

Short runs like this, especially when combined with infrequent use in cold weather, will make any battery weakness more of an issue. Its kind of a perfect storm, no pun intended for those in Texas.

This is kind of funny. I remember discussion about this back in 2006 when my 2007 CX-7 AWD GT was brand spankin' new! So after all the years being trained to just look at my light control arm, I never gave it much of a thought on my 2018 Sig-9... which of course does not have an illuminated...

Sorry to hear about the suspension issues and hope the dealer steps up to take care of all the details.

I too have experienced the water drainage that can happen when opening the back hatch under certain circumstances; not sure this is unique to CX-9 or Mazda. I'm more curious about the suspension issues you're having on a brand new vehicle. What's up with that?

Not sure how much heat a closed shade would add, but I would be curious if any correlation to paint colors exists. Dark tones absorb significantly more heat than lighter colors; factor in surface expansion/stresses and there could be the catalyst?

Below is a link to an exhaustive write-up on the subject by Consumer Reports. This has been going on for years, with nearly all make/model of vehicles. There is apparently little agreement, and even less understood as to what causes these failures when they do occur. Many theories exist, but...

Something I have always done in my 2-car garage parking to provide easier access to the cars is use a center-oriented driver door arrangement. When entering the left garage, I always back in so that driver exits into the center & not against a wall. Likewise, when entering the garage on the...

Slightly OT - I just had my original 2007 CX-7 GT AWD in the shop (private) for the transfer case seal repair. This was a known issue per a TSB for all 2007-08 models made before Oct 1 2007. The repair cost me just over $700. (90% of which was labor) I bought it right out of the gate in August...

Yes, that accuracy rate is the error rate of all the moving parts ie the satellite & the planet, adjusted for the time delay of data transmission. Under optimal conditions, precise location can be calculated to about 4 inches for highest resolution devices. Calculating speed is an entirely...

It can happen in low-light, with thick fog and very humid conditions, which makes sense, but I've also had it happen under some surprisingly clear conditions. On a sunny, crystal clear winter day, with the sun low in the sky, reflecting incredible glare off of the dried rock-salt covered...

The center vent can be turned off completely by using the air-flow select controls to redirect air flow to the lower or upper channels? The door-side vents can be closed completely; to my thinking, it would likely not be an optimal back-pressure scenario to have all middle vents closed at the...

Sorry it's such a disappointment for you. I'd just drive. I thought they were the "driver right" and "passenger left" vents.

I think you've answered your own question. The 2007 CX-9 is a dinosaur and I can't speak to it specifically. I still have my 2007 CX-7 which was an entirely different vehicle, and I love it. It still is an awesome, sporty & nimble ride. Fortunately, I never had any of the big issues, so I lucked...

"No man is an island, apart to himself.....so ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." (Sorry, couldn't resist. At least your not seeing dead people "all the time" ; - ))

My 2018 Sig has sat idle for weeks at a time without being started or moved and I haven't had any problems; for the new models, it certainly seems to be a issue with the tailgate foot sensor. I assume that is what the TSB addresses.

Count me as the "other" other... 93 almost exclusively with an occasional 91 when refilling on long roadtrips; never 87. Full disclosure: I still drive my original 2007 CX-7 GT AWD with the original DISI Turbo 4. Throughout the past (nearly)14 years, I almost always did the half 89 / half 93...

The wheels are nice & clean, but for me the grille is a bit clumsy with respect for the overall lines of the vehicle. No pics of the interior? is it the same color leather but with added embossing & gingerbread?

The article clearly states "this package is for Mazda's entire lineup" right at the top; more interesting I believe is the very last line of the article: "We suspect they will eventually come to the U.S. market, but Mazda hasn't yet announced availability for our shores."

Just to clarify, I'm not changing oil at 3k - and he wasn't suggesting that; his point was that with oil changes happening at less frequent intervals, tire rotation is also occurring less frequently as well, resulting in tire-wear patterns being more obvious. Good thoughts though, I will need...
