Is the 2nd generation engine block cracking issue that results in a required engine replacement only happening to the 2016 through 2018 model years? I have a 2019, so I'm curious if mine could be effected by this problem or if they remedied the issue for the 2019 model year.

Does anyone have information on the 2022 model year changes for the CX-9? Of course it won't be a significant model refresh or a new model by any means (with the CX-90 coming as the replacement to the CX-9 as a 2023 model), but I'm curious to learn of any changes to the trim levels and features...

Thanks for the suggestion Tom! I looked up the Vredestein Quatrac Pros and you're right, they're really highly regarded and rated. I had never heard of the brand. I just ordered a set of them from TireRack. I'll report back in a few weeks with my initial impressions, in hopes of helping others...

Our 2019 CX-9 GT stock tires are Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus. I don't have anything bad to say about the tires, except for they're terrible in the snow and ice! I've looked up online reviews with similar findings, generally a mediocre tire with really bad performances in the snow and ice...

The following figures are for 10K miles per year. Add approximately $10 per month for 12K miles. For the GT-R the lowest 0 down 0 due at signing lease I could get from 7 dealers locally was $480 per month including our high 10.4% taxes (everything rolled into the monthly, including 1st year...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I actually ended up getting an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti. I was able to negotiate a deal on it that put the lease price between the naturally aspirated CX-5 and Turbo CX-5. It is an incredibly impressive machine and drives like an absolute dream! It will be a nice...

Can you elaborate on this? Is there some form of $1,500 lease cash/incentive from Mazda that I'm not aware of?

Thanks for the replies and insights everyone. For those that asked, the residual value on the lease for a GT is 59% and on the GT-R it's 56%. The money factor (ie. annual percentage rate) is also much higher on the lease for the GT-R - .0069 vs .00001 (1.66% APR vs .02% APR). Also, Mazda has...

I am strongly debating whether to go with the Grand Touring or Reserve (turbo) for a lease. The price difference on the lease between these two is substantial - approximately 37% higher per month for the Reserve (approx. $125 more) due to the lower residual value, higher money factor, and no...

I am specifically interested in percent off MSRP before any manufacturer incentives (ie. what is the dealer discount). I was told by a local dealer here in the NW that he cannot go below employee pricing (which is about 8% off MSRP apparently on the CX-5 GT, before any incentives). We got...
