    Continental lx 20 tires for CX9?

    I am considering the Continental LX20s or the Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires to replace the OE ones on my CX9 (Touring FWD; 18" wheels). My only concern about the LX20's is the 'T' speed rating vs the 'H' OE rating. Tire Rack & my installer don't think it matters, I've been rolling on 17" R...

    Basic spare key from onlinemazdaparts.com

    onlinemazdaparts.com sells a basic chipped key that is good for a spare. I ordered a couple and I can't get them to work. I can open the door, but I can't turn the ignition. I was wondering if anyone else has this key - I'm just trying to determine if they are cut wrong, or if there is a...

    Consol armrest padding

    I had mine switched a 2nd time July 2012, and its been fine since. I had considered an upholstery shop if they continued to toe the party line that it was normal.

    245/60-18 or 245/65-17 for winter tires?

    I'm rolling on 17's for the winter - usually after a couple months of salt on the road, we've got wicked potholes so I figured that extra half inch of sidewall gained with 17" wheels will help soften the blow...

    Pics of new 17" snow tires

    I ordered a wheel & tire package from the tire rack: 17x7.5 Rial Como wheels - picked them because I like the look, were reasonably priced and are low pressure cast. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 tires - good rating on tire rack, and I've enjoyed Blizzak tires in the past on other vehicles I also...

    Heater fan not blowing until engine warms up

    Isn't this a feature? My other climate control equipped cars (Hondas) the blower motor doesn't kick on until the engine is warm - who wants to get blasted with cold air when they turn on the car in the winter?

    Harsh engagement, Loud clunk, Lurching Forward when Shifted from Reverse to Drive

    +1 why I use the parking brake. I have experienced this harsh engagement a few times over the past 3 years of ownership when parking on inclines.

    Remote Starter

    Link to OEM installation instructions - seems more aftermarket than I'd like (cutting into harnesses, wire taps, etc..) http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/yhst-24809172479195/cx9remotestartN02B.pdf

    Downsizing to 17" wheels for snow tires

    My 2010 Touring came with 245/60-18 tires. Tire Rack is suggesting 245/65R17 - so I don't have the benefit of running a narrower tire. I do gain about a half an inch of sidewall, which would be helpful for dealing with all of the horrific potholes but I already have the benefit of using 18"...

    Potential Problem I hope will help others here regarding Rust Proofing

    Thanks for the tip. BTW, is rust proofing worth it? I recently moved from Southern California to the Cleveland, OH where I'm assuming rust is an issue.

    HELP! Car Wash Attendant covered my dash with Armor-All today! How to fix

    I've had this happen getting my CX-9 cleaned. It looked like someone poured olive oil over the whole dash. Don't worry, it'll go away in a couple weeks :)

    debating between leasing a fully loaded Mazda Cx-9 or a basic Honda odyssey.

    I really wanted a minivan when we bought our CX-9, but I work from home so my wife would be driving it primarily. She was very against any minivans because of the stigma associated with them :) I have two small children, one at the time we bought the CX-9. I agree with the above posts about...
