    Radar detector in the CX-5?

    I use this to mount it to the rearview mirror: BlendMount Radar Detector Mounts | Custom Aluminum Mounts I power it off the mirror: https://blendmount.com/mirrortap It’s clean, no wires laying around. The Radenso XP detector, almost no false alerts, really quiet, great detector. (Not that...

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    “… the Mazda CX-70 will share its platform and powertrains with the larger Mazda CX-90.” Possible good news for those who aren’t into “quality risks” of buying 1st year redesigns. CX-90 might be the guinea pig.

    What is the purpose of a HUD?

    I’ve never had a collision after 40+ years of driving because of looking at a speedometer. Just one mans opinion but the hud is annoying and distracts me from the potential enjoyment of driving. To each his own. 👍🏻

    2021 CX-9 Vibrating

    I bought mine from the dealership! 😝 They had a buy 3 get one free sale. My usual tire store (Gateway Tire) didn’t carry Falkens but had something similar… the dealership price (even without the complimentary lifetime balance and rotation offered by Gateway) still saved me $250 over the long...

    2021 CX-9 Vibrating

    While I’m not certain, I wonder if Falkens are more temperature sensitive than other tires. I like them enough that I had them reinstalled when it was time for replacements. When I bought my 2018, it was winter. I noticed vibration on and off for a while. As time went on, it went away. I just...

    Is the nav system worth it?

    As others said, the nav has gotten me out of the “no cell service” jam a couple times. Google maps isn’t perfect but better than anything else I’ve tried.

    Firmware NA03_11040 For 10.25 Inch Widescreen Update CX-9

    Slightly off topic: Would anyone happen to know the latest version for a 2018? Thanks

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    Me too. If it’s the same chassis with a slightly smaller , sportier look, that would help. The rounded back end of the CX-90 looks like more of a family style vehicle to me. I think Mazda hit the current CX-9 styling out of the park. 👍🏻

    Mazda CX-70 buying decision and timing

    Thanks for the info! The CX-90 rocks but a smaller sportier version might be perfect. Hopefully the CX-70’s suspension will give a comfortable ride.

    Considering a 2018 CX-9 but concerned about 2.5T oil consumption

    The 2018 Signature I drive has no oil issues. It’s got around 78k miles on it. I get oil changed every 7500 miles or so. The only issues have been the funky info screen (replaced free) and leaky water pump. (got it replaced by the dealer) The more I drive the Mazda, the more I like it.

    Normal. If you find out what it is, please report.

    Is the CX-9 4 cylinder engine enough?

    I find the CX-9 to be a refined and “acceleration worthy” vehicle for the money. Suspension is fantastic, good handling, smooth highway cruiser and plenty of torque on the get go. The only car I liked better (on a test drive) was a Porsche Cayenne. (I test drove darn near everything) NO WAY I...

    New Mazda TSB for poor A/C performance

    What kind of tint? The last kind I used pixelated light and reflections at night. Thanks

    New Mazda TSB for poor A/C performance

    For what it’s worth, the 2018 CX-9 is the warmest car I’ve ever owned. I have darker, heat rejecting tint on all windows (except the windshield) and it still stays hot. Also, have you reached into the center console after driving a while? You could heat a sandwich in there. It may be...

    CX-9 Right rear rocker molding backordered...Any leads?

    I just dropped off my CX-9 this morning at a body shop for repair due to a front end deer collision. I had the estimate done 6 weeks ago. (Fortunately my Mazda was still drivable so I didn’t have to leave it there.) Back then, the body shop said the bumper cover was backordered with no ETA! So...

    Dude… if you’ll read post #11, I copied the warranty. It clearly states what is covered.
