A few pics. The Artisan Red looks almost black at times. Signature lighting is a small but nice detail. The vehicle came with illuminated sills, cargo blocks, wheel locks, first aid kit, and road side kit. No mention of the accessories and they weren’t in the paperwork either.

Welp …. I bit the bullet on a 2026 CX90 PHEV Prem Plus. The lease on my 2024 CX90 PHEV Prem Plus is up in a few months. New leases suck tremendously. I was able to purchase this time for about $100 more monthly than what I’m currently leasing. I had been looking at alternatives (other...

I noticed that the 2026 CX-90 (ICE and PHEV) have rear stabilizer bars now. Not sure if that was added last year. 2024 doesn’t have one. Mazda said the kinetic posture control worked so well they didn’t need it. Makes me wonder if the suspension was recalibrated with softer springs for a...

I went with the Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractives with the symmetrical design. I chose them because of their well rounded reviews … good handling, quiet, comfortable, and 700 treadwear rating. 9 months and 10,000 miles later …. Love these tires. They’ve lived up to their reviews. They...

We not only need buttons but good buttons. Something as simple as adjusting the mirrors in my CX90 is frustrating. The controls on the armrest are flat and indistinguishable from each other. I can’t adjust the mirrors without looking down to see what I clicked on. The round knob was so super...

I’ve had the 2024 PHEV Prem Plus for almost 2 years now. Overall, my initial impressions still stand. I would still give it a C+. Nothing about the car has totally blown me away like my last few Mazdas that truly punched above their class weight. Thought I’d share some longer term feedback...

I posted about the set of Anbingo mats I purchased over a year ago here. They’ve held up very well. And they have notdiscolored. Other all weather mats, including WeatherTech, that I have purchased over the years, they eventually start to fade or stain. These clean up really well and still look...

Has anyone replaced the tires on their CX90 yet? At 14,000 my tires are pretty much at the wear bars. 👎 I researched tires again and came back to the Pirelli Weatheractive again. Hopefully these will last until my lease is up. I was debating another set of the Falkens just to get thru...

I never had any gripes about the CX-9’s power. It wasn’t crazy fast, but it was quick enough. I never had issues pulling ahead of traffic from a stoplight. And were it really mattered to me, passing at highway speeds, it always had plenty of grunt above 70mph. The CX90 PHEV feels a little...

I’ve heard piped in engine sounds that sound absolutely ridiculous. But Mazda does it in a very subtle way. It’s there in normal mode and definitely more aggressive in sport mode, and mostly it is apparent under hard acceleration, but they are both very subtle. You think that you’re only hearing...
