    2016 CX-9 Real World MPG

    I can't top 18mpg. Mostly city driving. Some highway and the terrain is hilly. 3 tanks of fuel so far. I expect around 20-22 average, given the terrain and how this car is supposed to do better in real world driving, but so far, it's a disappointment

    I'm 6'3"....my kids are in boosters. However, if you slide the second row aft as far as it will go, you should be ok with a car seat, even if it's rear facing.

    2016 CX-9 Pricing

    IIRC, the USDOT or NHTSA or whoever does not allow the adaptive LED lighting over here. I traded a 2013 CX-5 with 56,000 miles equipped with AFS for my CX-9 GT...never an issue with the AFS.

    I might be nitpicking here, but I have noticed a couple upholstery quality issues. First, the driver arm rest seems to have a permanent indent from my elbow now. It has not come back to original form, which is strange considering there is foam under the armrest material. Second, the door...

    Anyone notice in the owners manual in the steering wheel section, there are instructions for a heated steering wheel? I have a GT with no heated steering wheel and to my knowledge, the Signature does not come with one either. It is available in Canada?

    I actually like the lane keep assist. It was weird at first with the rumble in the steering wheel paired with a slight nudge of the wheel, but it's fine. I also find myself looking through the heads up display far too often instead of looking down the road. Overall, I'm pleased with the car...

    Service Bulletin on Ignition Switches

    This is an absurd statement. Dealers know what the TSB's are. A simple call to tech line or a search in their Intranet and it comes up. Having worked for a couple dealers for over 15 years, I know this to be the case. It falls on the consumer to properly relay what they are experiencing so the...

    I noticed that on my test drive too. After about a 20 minute test drive, I felt it was rather warm inside with the temp set at 60 and the a/c blowing. I thought it was strange.

    Here are the specs: EPA Passenger Volume: 2015: 137.7 2016: 135.1 Advantage: 2015 by 2.6 cu-ft (negligible given the total passenger space) 2nd and 3rd row up: 2015: 17.2 2016: 14.4 Advantage: 2015 2.8 cu-ft (significant given the tight space back there) 2nd row up, 3rd row folded: 2015...

    2016 CX9 Owners Thread

    I drove the 2016 CX-9 yesterday as well. I don't think its as quite as everyone is claiming it is. The engine does seem pretty harsh and around town driving didn't give me the impression is has 310 lb-ft of tq. On the highway when passing, it downshifted once and went from 65-80 in no time. That...

    Mazda reported the fuel leak recall to the NHTSA. The NHTSA did not discover it. It was discovered in Mazda's own testing.

    They are not that much cheaper. Plus, with the keyless fobs, many aftermarket systems require the use of one to work, leaving you with just one key to use for the car. Its very pricey to replace that key. It's just not worth it.

    That's an aweful lot of issues for one year in a CX-5. What year was her car and when did you trade it in? BTW, the recall you describe is inaccurate. Had nothing to do with the exhaust. It was a bolt near the fuel line. Also, you say a dealer gave you a Signature model for a week? That's...

    Current Selling Price for CX-9?

    From 2010-2015, there was typically a $4,000 rebate and about $2,000 mark up from invoice to MSRP. There's your $6,000 savings. Mazda's trying to get away from that. Time will tell if the 2016+ model bucks the trend. Now is not the time to expect a $5,000 discount.

    An assumption that the 2017 CX-5 will debut at the LA Auto Show is a pretty good one considering Mazdas history of reveals at that show. However, the info in that article is complete and utter speculation by someone with zero inside information. I don't believe any of it.

    My CX-5 is a Touring model. Only has a 6-way power seat 😒 The CX-9 is beautiful and the interior design/build quality is very good. I just think for a car that is nearly 200 inches long to be that small on the inside is a design disaster. The CX-5 is 178 inches long (21 inches shorter then...

    First of all, the 2017 CX-5 isn't out yet. If you are referring to the 2016 +, that was a refresh. The CX-5 1st gen is 2013-present. The 2nd gen hasn't come out yet
