We just closed on a new CX-90 for my wife. It is a really nice car, especially for the money. I am hoping to keep it really nice so I am trying to find something to protect the rear of the center console where the dog puts his paws when riding in the back seat. I know the simple answer is...

Hi, We are looking to buy a CX-90 with the Greige interior for my wife. I like the looks, but have concerns about staining from blue jeans, etc… What is the real world experience? Is this color difficult to maintain? Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, I ended up going with a package from Tirerack. The whole thing with Blizzaks, wheels, center caps and lug nuts came in at $1000. I skipped the TPMS as well. I usually wait until the first forecasted storm before I take off my summer tires so I can't give any...

After much hand wringing and teeth gnashing, my wife has finally decided on the CX-9 over an Odyssey. The decision came down to the comfort and driving experience of the CX-9 vs. the space of the mini van. We currently own a Sienna and she was concerned that there isn't enough room in a CX-9...
