As someone who did a brie test drive of a Signature edition, for those who have the CX9 now how do you feel about the drivers seat and the lack of adjustment on tilting the seat.

Very good point, I just don't see why they did it. TBH, I noticed as I drove my '16 Accord Touring that my seat is in a mostly flat position but again its a car and not an SUV. This seat issue hasn't ruled the CX9 out, it has given me great some concerns and when I have time to take it for a...

Well, since the seats are a hot topic for many, myself included I opted to email Mazda, while I doubt they will provide anything of any value, it has given me reason for pause. Loved what I saw, drove and felt, but driver comfort and seating position are crucial to the overall driving experience.

I had my wife's Mazda 6 in for its NYS inspection and was checking out the new CX-9's on the lot. The Sales Manager there had just come in so we talked and he gave me the keys to his CX-9 Signature Edition he is driving and said take it for a drive, come back when you are done. It was nice to...

I ran across that video last night as well, looking forward to part 2 & 3 with more info. One of the local Mazda dealers in my area has 4 CX-9's two are Signature edition, I might go check them out in person just to get a feel for it.

I noticed there are two circular sensors on the lower bumper area, and they look identical to the ones on the back which are for the rear backup sensors. Front sensors are not available in the US version so why are they putting them on the AU version?

This review looks to be an Australian model since the steering in on the right side. I found the video below from the NAIAS and I found it to offer the clearest view inside and out for the Signature Trim Level in Machine Grey Metallic. This has me staring intently on the CX-9. I also use the...

Very true, I have been following the '17 Highlander, but the only shots I can find of the interior are for the SE model and not the Limited Platinum. My road testing begins when the models in question actually hit dealers this summer, CX-9, Highlander, Outback Touring, Pilot. Shooting for...

I am considering the Pilot and Highlander, but the styling is a bit more mundane and to get the features I want I have to get top trim levels and for the Pilot that's a total waste since I don't need BluRay media. At last Mazda isn't putting captains chairs in their 2nd row, which Toyota and...

Its way too similar to the CX-3 as well.

Those look really nice, I hadn't considered looking at vent replacements to add some shine to the inside. Until the new cx-9 rolls out I have to keep track of these ideas for future reference and hope similar items come along.

I like it, my '15 GT came with the OEM one you don't like and honestly it didn't offer the protection the one you posted does. Where did you find it, and hopefully they will offer something for the '16/'17 CX-9 which is on the top 3 of my purchase list next year.

Any pics of your new mods yet. I sold my 2015 GT that I got in June 2014, wished I had the sport mode on mine it would have helped me a lot. Any links to the chrome add-ons?

I have used Weather Tech mats in the last few vehicles and I opted for the full set when I had my CX-5 GT, front, back and cargo. Great set, only downside with the black mats was the dirt grinds in really well and its a bit hard to get them looking spiffy and new again. May go with Tan colored...
