    Very disappointed with Mazda CPO warranty

    This is the CPO warranty document that Mazda Corporate sent me. Attached. Please review and tell me where it says/implies that the bumper is NOT covered. Maybe I am going blind, but i did not see anywhere in the document, the bumper being excluded from coverage.

    Very disappointed with Mazda CPO warranty

    I have a 2017 Mazda CX-9 Signature. Currently, the car has about 45k miles. I bought the car as Mazda Certified pre-owned and the CPO comes with extended powertrain warranty until 100k miles or 2024, plus I also got my "bumper-to-bumper" original warranty extended for another 12mo/12k miles...

    2016~2023 Advice for servicing the CX-9 for the first time?

    Are they really putting synthetic oil for $69? Many dealerships say that but actually they put "synthetic blend" oil or even conventional oil.

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Ha! This is similar to my car story. Got my 2017 CX-9 Signature, in 2017. The car had only 8k miles. It was a corporate vehicle and Mazda certified. I paid around $36k. I simply could not pass on this deal.

    Thinking about swapping my CX-9 for a 4-door truck - bad idea?

    Since I am looking for a fully loaded model and I am specifically interested in a brand new one or certified 2-3 yrs old one.... my budget will be $40-45K, which I realize can be realistic if I can get some deep discounts. The "big three" often have amazing 10-15k off MSRP deals and even more +...

    Thinking about swapping my CX-9 for a 4-door truck - bad idea?

    Naah, the Q7 is not going anywhere. It's 2019 Prestige trim, with only 5k miles on it and lots of warranty left. Also, people here will hate me for saying it, but the Q7 is a LOT more car/SUV than the CX-9 Signature, in almost every category. It's a higher class vehicle. It's an extremely well...

    Thinking about swapping my CX-9 for a 4-door truck - bad idea?

    I realize this is a Mazda CX-9 forum and people will have some biased opinions and that's perfectly OK and expected. I have a 2017 CX-9 Signature with about 45k miles on it. The car is in great shape, with no mechanical issues, except some brake and suspension noises from time to time. A few...

    Poll Did you choose the CX-9 over a European SUV?

    When looking at the Cayenne Diesel and X5 (i test drove both, before i bought the CX-9 back in 2017) the one thing was an "issue" for me was the size. They are just smaller SUVs. If you need the occasional 3rd row seat or even larger trunk, the Cayenne especially was just small. We have 3 kids...

    Poll Did you choose the CX-9 over a European SUV?

    Back in 2017 i was seriously considering buying a 2015 Audi Q7 TDI (turbo-diesel) Prestige. At the time, my daily drive was a fully tuned 2012 Audi S4. You can see i like Audis and i am pretty capable to maintain and work on them if and when needed. My Audi S4 had over 100k miles when i sold it...

    2016~2023 Is the CX-9 "DIY" friendly?

    They are Mazda branded. No NGK or Denso options. This is the main reason for the super high price. At least they are very easy to change.

    2016+ CX-9 / Mazda 6 - 2.5L Turbo CorkSport Intake System

    How is 2019 CX-9 AWD performance?

    Fully agree with Montanaman. The CX-9 AWD system and the SH-AWD are not even comparable. Maybe on paper....but not in reality. The SH-AWD is what the Mazda AWD should be, but due to cost cutting - it's not. Not even close. With good snow tires, my '17 CX-9 AWD does *well* in the snow. I would...

    The VW Atlas takes a stab at the CX-9

    Actually, some do offer pretty decent, 3-row, adult sized seats & accommodations. Minivans are the obvious option with real seats, but aside from them, some of the larger SUV options have really good 3-row seats. Larger Lincoln, Fords, Cadillac/GMC SUVs, Toyota Sequoia, Mercedes GLS.... are all...

    NGK Cross reference # for 2017 CX-9 Spark Plug

    Is this for the CX-9 with the 2.5 turbo or for the Mazda 2.5L (non-turbo)? What is bizarre is that the 94124 are Iridium plugs. These last a very long time, usually close to 100k miles. Mazda recommends that we change them every 40k miles. I wonder why? Is the OEM plug a non-iridium plug?

    2018 CX-9 Wiper Blade Replacement?

    This is what i got from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BCYCGBJ/?tag=m20b7-20 They work well. Lasted a bit over a year of regular use. I just ordered a new pair. For the price, they are pretty decent.

    2016~2023 Snow and ice performance of AWD CX-9

    The AWD system on the CX-9 is very basic and very much FWD based. It gets the job done, but it's nothing impressive. If you do not have good snow tires, you will not be happy. My 2017 CX-9 with the OEM Falken A/S tires, first winter in the snow, was a joke. :( Audi Q5s and RAV4s were climbing...

    It is done... 2018 GT bought today. I'm in the club.

    Congrats!! Love the color! I got my 2017 Signature with only 8k miles on the clock.... 2 years ago. Such an amazing deal.

    Rear Driver side tire cupping wear - bad shocks already?

    My car is a 2017 Signature with about 36k miles on the clock. Seems to ride pretty well. I replaced the rear brake pads two weeks ago (yes, worn out at 36k miles) and in the process, i rotated the tires. As soon as i put the rear tires on the front, i started to feel a very slight, but...
