    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    They do? That sounds very un-Acura like.

    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    Here's how I always come out--are you getting an extra $10,000 (or whatever the price difference is) worth of value by buying the RX-L or MDX? I usually struggle to find that it's worth it. BTW, the 3rd row is not real leather.

    Retrofit 360 view camera

    How would you install all the camera lenses? I don't think there would be blank holes there for them.

    Why did you purchase a CX-9?

    I absolutely get it. You want to keep whacking up the customer base so you can take varying positions as to what various customer segments will like, or not like. And where is it written that everyone with 2.5 kids needs the max cargo room all the time? There are plenty of posters here that...

    Why did you purchase a CX-9?

    Yes--I read the whole post. And in that same post, you said that a mark against the CX-9 was it's interior size, and you also said suggested that a major reason the RAV4 outsells the Highlander is most people don't need a larger vehicle. Which just shows the fallacy of listing what any...

    Why did you purchase a CX-9?

    So--the CX-9 is not the best because it's not big enough; but most people want something that's not as big?? (uhm) Don't you think the RAV-4 is better selling than the Highlander because of cost, not size?

    2018 CX-9 steeting wheel leather cracks

    I hope you let service manager #1 that you have a new dealer going forward. I've had cars with leather steering wheels since 2000, and I've kept them for 7-8 years each, and never had that happen. Normal wear, my butt.

    My thoughts exactly. This thread is worthless without (pics)

    Is this place really a "Lounge" ?

    Mission accomplished! Nice job, OP.

    2018 CX-9 steeting wheel leather cracks

    This is something that should be covered by warranty. On my '12, the black coloring started wearing off of the steering wheel volume and radio station up/down buttons. I thought for sure the dealer would claim normal wear--but they replaced it under warranty with about 1 month left to go on my...

    Takata Airbags - 1st Gen CX-9 '07-'12

    I just got a recall notice from Mazda. I didn't realize that defective Takata airbags were in vehicles as new as '12s. https://www.mazdarecallinfo.com

    Beep beep beep beep beep... Yes, I am aware the tailgate is open, SHUT UP!!!

    There's no way to disable it on my '12. You'd think they would have figured something out in the next generation.

    key fob battery life

    I think 1 - 1.5 years is pretty normal. You may have just had a bum battery to begin with. But--was your '05 Jeep a proximity key? Those fobs deplete much faster. A normal fob with a physical key only transmits a signal when you push a button on the fob. The proximity key is constantly...

    Panoramic Roof...who wants it as an option?

    Well--you are arguing the opposite side of the coin. With advancements in performance and reliability of turbos, plus the incremental increase in MPGs with smaller engines in the face of CAFE standards, turbos just make sense. Pano roofs add weight, which car makers are desperately trying to...

    Panoramic Roof...who wants it as an option?

    I don't think I'd care enough about it to spring for one over a normal S/R. I'd only opt for it if the other choice was no S/R. Plus--there's this: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/exploding-sunroofs-danger-overhead/

    cx9 due for facelift and next gen cx9?

    And the current generation of the Mazda 6 debuted in '12, and is still going. So you can look out there for clues or hints if you want. The life cycle of a compact economy car is not the same as a mid-sized flagship SUV.
