    Signature wood trim delete

    Agree with this statement...not trying to judge but really the wood trim which is a small piece of trim in a large vehicle becomes a deal breaker? Yes you may cover it up with vinyl per suggestion by others but that*s what makes it classy, stand out from other 3-row SUVs and really complements...

    Advice on Mazda CX-9 front grill.

    The glass appearing or 3D Mazda logo with the LED lighting on grille is usually found in the Signature trim...not sure what trim you got...the GT/GS trim would come with the Mazda 3D logo though if equipped with the I-activ safety sense...that type of logo is actually the front radar sensor used...

    New CX-9 owner

    Congrats on your new purchase! Yes better install after market remote starter with fob than the Mazda mobile where you*ll also have to pay a yearly sub. As for AA/AC yes it*s a useful feature to have and worth the up charge especially for resell value in future...cheers!

    Delayed Mazda3 Sport Delivery / Pickup?

    Wow...that*s pretty good considering it*s a brand new/redesigned model and dealer*s markup is only around $1700-1800! I asked 1 dealer here and told me since the 3 is brand new there are no discounts/incentives....crossed that dealer off my list. Unfortunately there aren*t a lot of dealers in my...

    16-17 owners ... what warranty work have you needed?

    Driver side mirror (the mirror itself) was wiggling while driving at highway speeds...they replaced entire mirror (mirror and clip holding it) under warranty of course but other than that no other issues after over 2 yrs of ownership

    Delayed Mazda3 Sport Delivery / Pickup?

    Accdg to the local dealer in our area, most of the AWDs are selling quicker than the FWD...I actually test drove a GS AWD yesterday and man that car despite on all season tires didn*t lose traction off the line on a snowy/icy surface imagine if it were on winter tires! The only drawback for me...

    Delayed Mazda3 Sport Delivery / Pickup?

    Likely just a tactic to keep car in their showroom as it*s a new model that*s popular right now yet rare (inventory scarce)... On a diff note, did u get any deals/discount on it?

    Cx 9 captain chairs?

    If captains chairs is a must for you on your next vehicle then the Subaru Ascent might be the better option for you. Highly unlikely that the CX9 will have this as an option even in future...Mazda*s sales in NA is lagging vs the competition with that option and probably the reason why Mazda...

    4WD System High Load = Tomfoolery Detected...Thoughts on the CX-9 in snow

    Mine came with the Falkens...no confidence in winter (got delivery of my 2017 Sig in winter) so 8 months into ownership I replaced them with Nokian All weather tires (WRG3 SUV) that are winter rated. Not as great as full winters but a lot better than all seasons (tire grooves designed also for...

    (Almost) new 2019 CX-9 GT owner

    Didn*t downsize to the 18s on my *17 Sig instead I replaced the OEMs with Nokian WRG3 SUV all-weather tires (winter rated) using the OEM 20* rims...tires perform better than the Falkens in winter though not as great as a fully dedicated winter set but at least I don*t have to deal with any tire...

    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    I did same thing 2yrs ago...cross shopped the 9 with RX and MDX even XC90...ended up with the *17 CX9 Sig trim and glad I did! Almost bought the RX but glad I waited a few months...saved $10-14K vs the RX that had same specs and pkg. no regrets here...the styling and price alone will justify...

    2016-2017 CX9 Brake servicing

    I figured that it was simply a dealer recommended maintenance/tactic and quoted me over $200 for the service which I declined. The service advisor later on told me that they also needed to do a flushing of the brake fluid which would*ve cost $100! I declined that too since I*ve owned a Volvo...

    2016-2017 CX9 Brake servicing

    Just wondering any 2016/2017 CX9 owners if youve done or brake servicing was required. My 2017 Sig is 2 yrs old now but have never done the annual brake service that dealership recommends. Reason is my mileage is low (only 12K miles) and last fall the tire service center inspected the brake...

    New Member Here...Considering CX-9

    The Machine Grey is probably one of their most popular colours aside from the Crystal red...it*s also available in the Sig trim unlike the crystal red that*s only up to GT. For me the grey stands out esp when it is cloudy unlike other grey colours in other vehicles. What*s special about the...

    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    You*re probably right...steeper price! Maybe way to go is wait a bit longer once dealers are used to installing them where the actual time & labour costs would*ve been determined thereby lowering the overall price as well as competition when all other dealers can do them.

    Picked up the 2019 CX9 Signature

    Congrats on your purchase and new ride looks great! While you said it it*s not a BMW however you pointed out the good value and features as well as its strength vs the competition. Not a perfect vehicle but it has a lot going for itself. While yours is the latest model I*ve had mine for...
