    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    My feeling is that there*s a lot more wiggle room with this price. A posts back, I posted a price of $40k for a 2019 GT AWD, same MSRP as the vehicle you*re interested in. However, my price qualifies for 0.9% APR for 60 months. Since you*re not using the 0.9% Mazda incentive, your price should...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Thanks for the AWD perspective, that actually makes sense and might sway me to the AWD deal.

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Whats the finance rebate of $2500? Is that for not taking the financing incentive? Is is a regional incentive?

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Thats what I thought about the price. Although, I did see one for $500 less so maybe theres still a bit of wiggle room. The FWD seems more in demand in my neck of the woods so there isnt much room to negotiate. It is coming up to the end of the month so it may change. Sadly, its looking like I...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Got a quote for $40k on a 2019 GT AWD with an MSRP of $44,460. This quoted price also qualifies for Mazdas 0.9% APR financing incentive. This is an important distinction since there is also a $2k incentive available that does not qualify for the financing incentive. I think I can still get it...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Got a quote of $39650 for a 2019 CX-9 GT FWD with 0.9% financing for 60 months. It seems a bit higher than expected, especially since the 2020 model is due for introduction in the next few weeks (or months?). If it was an AWD, I would have taken the deal already.

    2020 Refresh Speculation

    I am also anxiously awaiting the 2020 changes to make a decision. Most interested in the Mazda3 infotainment system being migrated over, as well as any possible interior changes. Hoping for a bit more power from the 2.5T and changes to the AWD system (unlikely). New exterior colors from the...

    Saw a new Telluride on the road today.

    The Kia Telluride has caught my attention too. Everything that I*ve seen or read indicates the Telliride is a homerun for Kia. The longer warranty doesn*t hurt either.

    2016 GT vs 2018/2019 GT

    Check out this video review of the 2019 Mazda CX-9 by Straightpipes. One of the reviewers loves the drive of the CX-9 BUT cannot recommend it for himself due to the driving position. He does recommend it for everyone else. And, yes, the addition of the thigh support in 2018 makes a non-choice...

    A not-so-positive review of the 2019 CX-9 Signature

    I agree. It seems like that context is lost on him. He sees a luxurious interior and is disappointed that it isn*t as good as an SUV which costs $15k more, instead of being pleased that it*s so much better than an SUV at the same price point. And yes, he compares driving dynamics to smaller...

    A not-so-positive review of the 2019 CX-9 Signature

    I think the reviewer has some valid points, but quite a few are nit-picky. He complains about the split center storage console creaking when he puts his weight on it, and Im thinking that it might be his weight? Hes a bit of a big guy and the CX-9 might not be suitable for people of his built...

    (Almost) new 2019 CX-9 GT owner

    I know Discount Tires gives credit for slightly used tires if a new set of tires are bought. Ive done it once on our 2010 CX-9 and once on another one of our cars. Also a set of replacement certificates can be negotiated into the deal which would cover the warranty lost on the Falkens. Discount...

    Tinting front window

    I live in the Southeast US, so I tint ALL of my windows, including the front windshield (with a clear Llumar AirBlue tint). It keeps the interior cool in the Summer and protects from UV rays all year round. Since you live in the MidWest, tinting may not be as crucial but I would argue that a...

    Daytime Running Lights woes

    Confused about IIHS Headlight rating for CX-9

    Oh, I*m sure that the adaptive headlights are good. I*m just confused that the non-adaptive ones were rated higher by th IIHS. The measurements were significantly lower on the adaptive headlights, compared to the non-adaptive ones:

    Confused about IIHS Headlight rating for CX-9

    Per the IIHS rating for the 2019 CX-9, the Grand Touring and Signature trims (which feature the adaptive front-lighting system) scores a Poor for its headlights while the Touring scores an Acceptable. I*m really confused by this seemingly incorrect rating. Are the headlights on the GT and...
