    Long time owners--would you buy again?

    My 2008 CX-9 GT was leased, so I returned it after 3 years. Replaced it with a 2011 Audi Q7 S-Line Prestige. I really liked the CX-9. I didn't get another because I get bored with vehicles and never get the same one again. Wife and I have had about 25 new vehicles in the past 25 years.

    Sand Leather Inerior

    Discussed here several times. I had same problem. No big deal--simply used leather wipes every few weeks to clean it off.

    Power Train Malfunction/Reduced Power Warning Light on 2011 CX-9

    Keep a digital camera ready and take a photo of the warning light, so you can show the service department. I did just that last week with my Q7. Service department quite pleased with my photos--allowed them to diagnose quickly.
