    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    I have two child seats in my car on the captains chairs, chico zip ones. One is forward facing, one rear. I've had many people get into the third row no problem via the row between the chairs, including one guy at 6ft 190ish lbs. It is considerably easier to go around the front of the forward...

    2017~2025 What's everybody using to remove scratches in clearcoat?

    Without using a DA buffer, try getting chemical guys v36 and v38 (you can get both as a set on amazon small bottles for like $25). Wash then Clay bar the car. Then using a microfiber applicator pad, rub in the compound in small circles to the areas, starting with v36 finishing over with v38...

    What wax do you use to make your CX-9 look amazing?

    Chemical guys butter wax makes darker paints look amazing but it really only keeps the look for a few weeks. Griots best of show wax has the same results for me. Longer lasting but not as much of that wet look, I like to use griots 3in1 ceramic wax. Looks great and protects for quite a while...

    New Owner of 2018 CX-9...Odd noise, any ideas?

    Check to see if the windshield was ever replaced. Possible it was replaced and a small piece of tempered glass is rolling around right under your dash. If you got it at a mazda dealer, probably has the CPO warranty still good for bumper2 for 12 months, id take it to them and ask them to investigate

    CX-9 on lease but...

    Also rumors of the cx8 to the US, but if the cx5 has the size you want, and you like the ride of the cx9, you'll love the cx5. I replaced my 15 cx5 with a 20 cx9 and was much happier than I thought I'd be with it.

    CX-9 on lease but...

    If you love the way the cx9 handles and rides, you'll most likely dislike the numbness of the subies. If you like the cx9s power, test drive the cx5 with the same turbo engine and you won't be disappointed. That and the quality is just nicer, but I'm biased.

    Bruce's 2021 Mazda3 Sport build

    Yeah I’ll follow this. I’m jealous of you having a MT. I think my dealership got maybe two 3s in DIY shift in the last year.

    Cold Air Intake / 2016-2019 CX-9, same engine bay?

    Any of these intakes will be less restrictive. If you sit in traffic, idling, especially when it's hot outside, you'll want one of the systems that reuse the stock snorkel. I rarely ever sit in traffic especially with my commute so for now, I have just the corksport sr intake, no heat shield. As...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Factory also has placed an intercooler on the front to cool intake temps... Edit: before someone says, "well if you're idling in traffic...blah" I have a strange schedule for work and don't sit in traffic, only time on this engine I can see it being affected by warm induction air temps If the...

    Issues after towing CX-9 behind RV

    AWD cx9? Um, you may have destroyed your awd system. You always have to flat tow an awd vehicle, never leave two tires on the ground.

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Put on a CS intake this morning, along with the 10k oil change. Now I can really hear the pbv noises and when revving, I get the stutututu going on lol. Man, I really am a 33 year old kid...

    Does your fuel efficiency improve as the engine gets worn in?

    Mine went from about 21mpg at new to about 24mpg after about 3k miles. And then we got switched to winter gas and it went back down to averaging 21mpg. Winter gas will make a difference for the negative. Also, these things are huge and not exactly the best geared for mpg things for city driving.

    Android Auto Touch Screen is not working

    Agreed with what @Ceej007 is probably getting at, Android auto is not going to work if you're using an iphone. I can for a certain say apple carplay does not work with my Samsung phone Edit: inside of Android auto, the touch screen is completely disabled, even at a stop. While the car is...

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

    Honestly, I've found myself having to turn off the mode all the time now. Whether it be trying to lock the car from a distance and pushing the lock button one too many times or even it being in my pocket while at work and bumping against other keys or equipment on my work belt. Mazda messed up...
