i'm a couple years into my 2012 cx9 grand touring. so far, i'm well-pleased. i had it in for service a couple weeks ago. and they gave me a brand new 2018 (or is it 19?) cx5 as a loaner. felt like a toy compared to my 6-7 year old 9. was so glad to get back in!

i'm a graphic / user interface designer. so the whole ergonomics / usability thing is a huge deal for me. if there are two or three things that i consider poorly thought out. i'll write off a car entirely. like my wife's 2012 audi a4. it's a nice driver. but it's a usability train wreck. have to...

greetings all. i'm a new cx-9 owner (2012 grand touring. about 9 days in) and just moments ago, signed up to this group. is there a meaningful update to the 2012 nav / audio software? i was a little disappointed to find that the interface / maps weren't really much better than our 2005 prius : (

is there any value to adding contacts to the cars system over just using siri to "call __________"?

wouldn't a small blanket do the trick and collect less dust in the process? ; )
