    Spare tire location and Storing Flat tire

    I guess you have to remove some luggage from the very last part of cargo (if your third seat is folded) area to get to the mechanism to lower that tire but it is so easy to put flat underneath there and put back in your cargo and you are back on the trip. I would rather have my dirty flat tire...

    Spare tire location and Storing Flat tire

    But if you have luggage in the cargo , where to store this flat tire. I find this very hard to believe it is common across the SUVs. Honda Pilot's storage of spare is great - no messing with cargo area inside the car. I know this should be a rare situation but should it happen, it is going to a...

    If you are driving the car full with passengers and full baggage in the cargo area (3rd seats folded down) and you experience a flat tire, it seems a cumbersome thing to get to spare tire location and then where to put that huge 20 inch tire.

    New Highlander coming this month with "torque vectoring AWD system" ?

    AWD on CX-9 should be pretty good for everyday driving (in snow and easier off roading) and for some 1% of extreme circumstances Honda/Acura systems may edge out. Youtube videos on AWD are full of the extreme circumstances as people like to see them - who cares about everyday stuff !! We all...

    I was in the same boat as you but after the reading many posts on internet, I thought it was average or better reliability- like any other japanese brand.
