I hope Mazda does juggle the packages around a little bit. I liked that for the CX9, you could get all of the technology on the GT and the signature was all about a plush interior, upgraded design and materials, and maybe a few little niceties like additional ambient lighting. I hate that I...

According to the US specs, the only way to get ventilated seats is to step up to the Premium Plus trim, which only comes in a light tan or white interior. The ventilated seats in my last Mazda6 and in my current CX-9 are awesome. They work really well and it’s a feature I really want but the...

I wonder how much of our wishlists will make it to production? :) The powertrain upgrade alone is a stellar step up. I can’t wait to drive one and put KPC to the test. So far I’ve seen a pano roof, more interior room, power steering wheel adjustment (hopefully linked to mem settings along...

Motortrend has a bunch of pics including some shots of the darker interior. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024-mazda-cx-90-first-look-review/

This is a known problem with some Mazda infotainment systems. The CMU (connectivity master unit) fails and gets stuck in that reboot loop. See if the dealership can reboot it and upload the latest factory software. If that doesn’t work, it will have to be replaced. This just happened to...

Did an exterior detailing this past weekend. Happy with the results. Wash. Clay. Ran over the entire exterior with Meguiar’s Scratch X. Buffed. 1 coat of Wet Paint Glaze, applied by buffer, hand toweled it off. Final clean bonnet polish.

A couple of suggestions for the brake dust. 1 - When you wax the car, be sure to wax the wheels. Keeps them shiny and helps prevent brake dust from building up. Makes the wheels much easier to clean as well. 2 - My 2021 CX-9 is my first SUV. One of the largest vehicles I’ve ever owned. One of...

2021 CX-9 GT with power seats and 2 position driver memory. Every time I unlock and start the car, the driver’s seat height inches up a bit. It’s only the height adjustment. By the 3rd or 4th time, the height is high enough that’s it’s annoying and I have to lower the seat. If I tap the...

I check eBay regularly but haven’t seen much …. until last week. I found something in Arizona that was posted for barely a couple hours. I snagged, it, installed it, and everything is working again. Bonus, as you said, ended up with a newer one that boots faster.

My brother’s 2016 6 GT-Reserve is having issues with the infotainment system. It keeps rebooting endlessly. We tried removing the ribbon that controls the capacitive touch to disable it to eliminate the “ghost touch” issue but it didn’t work. It needs a new CMU that controls the...

For comparing the 2 systems, besides the obvious Bass/Treble/Fade, def check Centerpoint. It changes the staging versus standard stereo. Also, in addition to adding sound deadening material to the outside of the sub, I’ve read that people have also added cotton stuffing to the INSIDE of the...

Thanks for the feedback. I’m trying to decide if I should say something to the dealer at my next service. If the system in the CX-9 is mediocre in general, I won’t waste my time since it’s not a critical system (to me). They’ll probably say “operating within normal parameters”. Blah …..

No, that’s not it. The lines would be as visible as the speed. Plus the lines are not displaying in the center gauge cluster either,

Hey, All. Question…. How good is your Lane Keep Assist at detecting lines on the road? Mine (2021 CX-9 GT) is mediocre at best. My 2018 6 was much better. See the below pic. Notice in the HUD there are no lines indicating the system is not “seeing” the lines on the road. Would your car do...

My fuel mileage is similar to everyone’s. 23–24 mpg on average. On long-distance trips it’ll creep up to maybe 26. The best I had seen was 27.

We often have our older parents with us or our oldest son and his fiancée and we needed something that could seat 6 occasionally. The CX-9 is the perfect size for us. The Pilot, Highlander, Explorer, etc. are all too big. We have the roof rails and a basket for long distant trips so if we...
