I contacted the local dealers first and then decided to expand my search just to see how the prices compared. As it turned out the lowest prices offered were nearly identical so I bought locally for logistical and relationship reasons.

I purchased a CX-9 with the same specs in October. I sent out the following email to a total of about 10 dealers in my local and regional areas..... Hello, I live in the XXXXX area and am in the market for a new 2019 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring FWD (front wheel drive) model with Snowflake White...

I suppose, if you don't mind the looks of the molding. I think that being careful about where and how you park is more effective (and cost effective).

I don't understand how a thin piece of molding is going to save a vehicle from getting door dings from other cars. Vehicles sit at different heights and door edges are curved differently. As a result, different vehicles' doors are going to hit your car at different heights. How can you...

I'm leaning toward the Fortin and installing it myself. I'll call and discuss the full setup with customer service when I have a chance. I'll compare with what a local installer with good reputation offers - both in terms of features, support and price. I'll let you know where I end up...

A few of you mention updating the firmware. Does this require a PC? I ask because I use Chromebooks which are limited for such things so may need to resurrect one of my old machines. Thanks.

I'm 5'11" (71") and the spec height is 69". I suppose it makes sense that I would bump my head. Do others who are close to 6' not have this problem?

I've adjusted the height to make sure it's a high as it will go, but after that's done it can still be pushed upwards 6" or so by hand. I'm 5'11", so not all that tall, and at the upper automatic limit it still hits my head. Once pushed all the way up it's okay. I happened to park next to an...

Heck yes I'd take it to the dealer, do you want to listen to it as long as you have the vehicle? Providing the sound is reproducible so they can hear it they should be able to locate and fix it.

I want a rear liftgate that goes all the way up so I don't keep banging my head on it! I have finally gotten used to manually pushing it up all the way (usually) but I shouldn't have to do that. Just make the electric motor do it's job! Memory mirrors and steering wheel would be great. Both...

When I lived in the Pacific Northwest my sunroof (sunshade) was open most of the time. Now that I live in the Southwest I rarely open it, we go to great lengths to keep the hot sun out of our homes and cars. When shopping for a new vehicle a pano sunroof was a negative in my book.

This Canadian article seems to agree with phxzoom with regard to a major redesign. They very factually state another 3-4 years after 2019. https://www.auto123.com/en/car-reviews/2019-mazda-cx9-midsize-suv-review/65236/ Quote from article (bolding is mine):

Unfortunately the Dronemobile appears to require a subscription which I'm not particularly interested in. I have a hard time believing that there's not an aftermarket product out there that will let me..... 1. Autostart at long range 2. Confirm for me that the vehicle has started 3. Not...

I was expecting to have a second fob in exchange for added range and will accept that. If at all possible I'd like to find an option that doesn't shut the car off when I open the door or trunk.

Thanks. I did read that thread, it's where I discovered the problems with the Mazda app based product. I'd probably purchase and install the Fortin product but would like something with more range than the OEM fob and that gives me a visual confirmation that the vehicle is running. I'll have...

I purchased my 2019 CX-9 GT about a month ago and have added all the little things I need immediately (hitch for bike rack, clear bra, rock/splash guards, cargo mat, etc.). The one addition I have yet to get is an auto-start. I've read about the Mazda app based unit and am not impressed by...

I went ahead and installed a mask/clear bra on the front of my white 2019 GT before it started getting pitted. Hopefully this will keep it looking better for longer. I typically keep my vehicles for about 7 years/100,000+ miles so I think it's a good up-front investment (yes, pun intended!). :D

I recently purchased my new '19 CX-9 GT and needed a trailer hitch to attach my 1-UP USA bike rack. I ended up buying a Curt 12156 hitch from eTrailer for $122.41 shipped. This hitch as a 1-1/4" receiver and is rated for 3,000 lbs. towing and 350 lbs. tongue weight. My bike rack has a 1-1/4"...

Is that rating chart for Mazda overall or the CX-9 in particular?

As I recall the instructions call for cutting small notches in both the splash guards and the corresponding fender liners in order to install the clip nuts that secure the guards.
