    08 CX9 is the worst automobile I have owned

    I used this site to help me research the CX9 when we were shopping for a "new" (used) car for the wife this summer. We bought a '07 CX9 and have been very very pleased with it over the past 4-5 months. On the MPG angle, during the wife's normal drives around town & to & from work, she gets about...

    New CX-9 Grand Touring/Tire Concerns

    I'm in the unfortunate circumstance of needing to get tires very soon. The wife drives the CX9 and shuttles the kids around and the existing Bridgestones aren't looking very good. We can also get snow at any time -- some forecasts are putting it as early as this week in Metro Denver (very slim...

    New CX-9 Grand Touring/Tire Concerns

    We're finally getting replacement tires and can't find the Paradas anywhere! Even the factory is supposedly backordered. Since I want to have new tires before winter hits, I'm looking at the others mentioned here: Michelin Latitudes, Pirelli Scorpion, and Toyo Proxes S/T II.

    CX-9 Gas mileage

    We have an '07 GT AWD and here in Denver we average about 14-15 with my wife's typical day-to-day driving, which is largely in-town. We just got back from a road trip of ~1500 miles of all highway driving at 70-75 mph and we were well over 20mpg the entire trip.

    New CX9 GT owner concern about gas mileage

    hamproof, I keep seeing you mention the premium fuel requirement in the 07. We have one and our owners manual say 87 octane is recommended. And, last time I checked, that's not premium fuel.

    Purchasing a CX-9

    Hi, everyone. My wife & I just purchased a used, 07 GT w/ sunroof, navigation & just about everything else except DVD. We even got the dealer to buy us new Yokohama tires to replace the original Bridgestones. Mileage on the vehicle was just under 20k. Final selling price was $26,500, which was...
