    Help for dealership scratch on new CX-5

    I was thinking this. That scratch would bug the heck out of me for a few weeks, but after that it would just drift into my deep memory. But for sure, I know that's not true for everyone. But because I'm like that, I'd be leery of any big fixes that could go badly. My dad had this happen on a...

    Leather type

    While back, I started to wonder what exactly Nappa was. Hard to get a clear answer, as it isn't really defined from what I saw online. It's not like it's from a particular type of cow, or geographic region, etc. It's just really nice leather, apparently. I do notice now, even quite pricey...

    2016~2023 Towing capabilities: CX-9 vs Ascent

    It's the transmission cooler that makes the difference in the various Ascent models. The link below is a messy page but it's about 1/3 down. Standard on all but the base. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/ascent/ascent2019.html

    After 15 months of ownership, my only complaint

    I've sort of become used to the button on the CX9, sort of a one motion movement but it does take that extra little pause. For me the pause is the issue. My 17 CRV is just the touch the back of handle, no button...but often I pull the handle before it's unlocked. So, despite no button, still...

    Question about Turbo fuel

    I couldn't say how often I get over 4000 or if it's an amount that's justified. But that's sort of true for a lot of things. Some things are just nice to have at the rare times you want it. Sunroof, 7 seater capacity and cruise control fall into that category for me. Km per yr they're used are...

    Rear HVAC user tips? 2019 CX-9 Signature

    Just took another look at the online manual. I think it is saying pressing AUTO in front and in back are 2 independent operations, and they don't affect one another. So if I'm alone, and I hit AUTO in front, it reads my desired temp and sets fan power, fan mode (feet,face, etc) and even recirc...

    Rear HVAC user tips? 2019 CX-9 Signature

    Months later, adding some info here. We decided to sort of just ignore this until recently. Figured out one thing that was throwing me off, was the REAR button light being on did not give me control of rear HVAC from driver's seat. You'd think light on, means you're synced. Nope. Not in my...

    Off Topic Favorite Websites?

    Yes we can be! Might be hard for some American fans to truly understand hockey's place here, and thus the Leafs. Multi generational thing. Other than a few places like Mass, Chicago, Minnesota, etc, I'm not sure hockey even warrants too much media coverage compared to even college sports...

    Winter Tire Recos

    This was the case for me too. At first I had doubts, as I didn't want to go from 19 down to 17 inch rims but when I saw the design I decided to go for it. I actually like the look, despite the 2 inch drop down. It's not the best photo, but the winter rims are in my profile pic. I didn't have a...

    Winter Tire Recos

    I don't know the brand, but remember rubber compound is as important, if not more, than tread. Tread works for snow, but it does less for you on dry/damp cold pavement than the nice soft rubber in a good tire.

    2019 CX-9 Mesh Grill

    Don't forget if you find one and have a Signature, not sure if the light strip would still function, I haven't looked that close but I assume it's a part of the grill.

    Winter Tire Recos

    A yr ago, this was the same comparison i wanted to make. But I was told, and the little research I did at the time seemed to confirm, X ice didn't exist in 18 or 19 inch sizes for my Signature. I'm guessing Michelin filled the gap in the product lineup? Or maybe I should have searched harder a...

    CX-9 vs Outback?

    I find all Subarus to be a bit frumpy looking. So much glass...big windows, which I assume give them great visibility, but the look is just top heavy. Esp the forester and outback. The cx9 almost has gunslit windows. Great look. When I drive my crv, i feel on display there's so much window...

    CX-9 vs Outback?

    Cubic ft in back of mazda is about the same as a crv, so don't go putting to much faith in the space back there. Wouldn't surprise me if the actual cubic ft in the outback wasn't too far off the cx9. And like sm1ke said, you know how your cx5 has the hatch which angles in toward the front of...

    Remote start options for 2018 CX-9?

    Are you sure it doesn't have? If the seller got it as a dealer accessory, you can try LOCK-UNLOCK-LOCK to activate. And it's touchy on timing, not too fast or slow. So give it a few tries. Be sure before spending $.

    Possible New purchase thoughts?

    Ive done this on last 2 purchases. Simply was in position to buy new and more upmarket vehicle before my financing was done. Low rates, I took long terms, and we're luckily at career stages where thigs move in "good" directions regularly. It is a weird feeling, though, the whole part of the...

    Battery life for key fob...How long does yours last?

    Yikes, I only got 8 months or so on a cx9 fob. My garage is detached so 2 brick walls and anywhere from 30 to prob 80 ft distance. 4 months of that was covid, so car used maybe once a week on avg. Oh well. Maybe I'll get luckier with the replacement battery. Could be the new car had a fob...
