Thanks @Antoine I probably won’t do many mods since it’s pretty well equipped as is. However I’ll get some lower grill inserts to match the main grill once they become available. But I installed a new dog seat cover for the pup. Trying one of these platform style ones out this time.

Picked up a CX70 Turbo S a few days ago.

If this was even remotely a possibility, then it wouldn't be shifting at 5,000+ rpms. It would upshift long before winding the engine out.

Our opinions are all shaped by our experiences. Ive had screwups at both dealerships and Indy shops.

Its a waste of money for auto manufacturers to create and maintain their own navigation systems when so many mobile apps are much better and more useful. Non smartphone folks can stick with their Garmins or Gazetteers.

Yo Monty- Im sure space does have some impact on the CX9 purchase decision, but folks arent writing it off for that reason alone unless theyre pure spec sheet type people. That 2.5T is programmed perfectly for the CX9. But folks would never know unless they got behind the wheel. Id rather...

CX9 suffers from American stupidity. Americans are ingrained to believe a 3 row crossover needs at least a 6 cylinder engine. How many 2.7T I4s Silverados is Chevy selling?

Then its functioning as designed. Nothing random about it.

At 5 mph youre probably in 2nd gear, which can suck for rapid acceleration as it will take some time for the vehicle to downshift. Id use manual mode in those situations to be safe.

Id guess replacement batteries.

There are a ton of Subaru commercials in my area, probably because they sell well due to our messy winters. But the ads focus on safety, reliability, dogs and a slight eco-conscious mindset.
