    Really excited to see the wheels get done. I want to do my wheels in black too. Are you going to dip them or wrap them?

    2016 CX-9: Creaking noise from the rear passenger-side door (or window)

    it might be the suspension since it happens when you brake or go over bumps. Maybe they forgot something when they did the recall since I am assuming they disassembled the rear suspension to a certain extent. Or if you are lucky, maybe it just needs some grease.

    CX-9 Paint Defect ... Undisclosed damage in transit?

    Color and flakes look much better than before but it looks really dirty and there looks to be swirls and buffer trails from a half-assed polish job. We haven’t seen any rain for the last few weeks so I thought your car would be sparkling considering it just came back from a fresh paint job...

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    Agree debadged looks so nice. The Mazda logo in the back breaks up the sleek lines. Without the badge it looks very sleek and European. I was going to leave mine debadged but didn’t want to have water deep into the tailgate from the two exposed holes and didn’t want to get it filled and...

    CX-9 Paint Defect ... Undisclosed damage in transit?

    I have scratches on my roof too from the dealership but didnt want to sand it down since that would thin the paint and I only see it when I wash the car. But it sucks that my new car has scratches from new.

    2017 CX-9 rusting paint? Only been through one winter

    Looks like surface contaminants. Try a clay bar then a paint cleaner to clear it up and then put a good layer of wax on top. Or you can try a cleaner wax which expedites the process

    Review: CX-9 vs. Subaru Ascent

    I agree. I dont find paddle shifters very intuitive. I much prefer using the shift knob to select gears since im used to driving a 5 speed manual.

    2018 CX-9 GT wrapped in Avery Dennison Carmine Red Vinyl - Progress Journal

    Mad respect for your craftsmanship! I know you mentioned about it being a Mercedes color but just curious; what makes it so different from the red that Mazda offers? I love the blacked out chrome btw.

    Review: CX-9 vs. Subaru Ascent

    The Subaru looks as if it might as well be a minivan. Styling is too conservative. I compare it to a loaf of bread much like the pathfinder and highlander which all are just minivans without the practicality of a real minivan. Might as well buy a minivan.

    Car Seats in the CX-9

    the solution if I need the third row would be to not use the base in those rare occasions and just use the seat belt to secure the infant seat itself.

    Car Seats in the CX-9

    When I had the keyfits my wife still sat comfortably in the outbound seat. Now I have 2 Dionos and an infant seat in the 2nd row. Fits perfectly but yah I can’t reach the third row now.

    Car Seats in the CX-9

    I just used the seat belt to anchor the base which works perfectly fine. I had Chico keyfit30 car seats. I would say it is about the same if not less of having to move up the seat to accommodate the diono while rear facing. I’m 5’9” and I just had to move up slightly from where I would normally...

    Car Seats in the CX-9

    I have twins too! They wanted to sit with mom and also I still wanted access to the third row. After the infant ones I went with the Diono convertible seats to make sure I still have space for my wife. Now I have a third child so I have filled the entire row with car seats and no longer have...

    '18 CX-9 OEM hitch

    Agree. OEM hitches are overpriced. The aftermarket ones work the same and look the same for fraction of the price.

    Latest Infotainment System Update

    I’m still running whatever it was that came with the car more than a year ago. I haven’t had anything weird happen so I’m sticking with it since it seems all the newer version seems to have more issues than solutions from reading all the posts. And I kept my tach settings =p

    2018 CX-9 Signature Instrumentation Panel Connection Malfunction

    I used to work with big dealerships that carry most of the popular brands and problems like these are more common than you would think on new cars. But it happens a lot more with cars from the big three and it is kind of funny because some of the customers kind of accept the fact that these...
