    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    I just got a new 2018 and dealer agreed to install carplay to seal the deal. I just read thru this thread and now I know that they do have to install a new USB with faster speed to make it all work. So that involves getting into the console and taking apart the interior. Surprised to see so many...

    5 vs 9? And 15% off MSRP on an 2018?

    I traded in the the 2016 CX-5 GT and got a 2018 CX-9 GT dealer driven 5000 miles and sold as "new" (meaning the car has never been titled so warranty starts now). They gave me a great price for my trade in ( they already had a buyer) and a good number on the CX-9 so I went for it. I got it for...

    Bought a brand new 2018 CX-9 Mazda last wednesday, battery draining due to ABS

    Interesting. I just bought a new 2018 yesterday. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Funny how right after I purchase a car and go on a corresponding forum I see things that are bad that I didn't see prior to purchase.(thought). I think it's a brilliant car. So far after 300 miles or...

    Why did you purchase a CX-9?

    I just purchase a leftover 2018 CX-9 GT AWD yesterday. Got a great deal on a machine gray/black that had been dealer driven ( met the GM who put the miles on it so it as not a demo). The retro fit install of the Car Play and Android was included in the deal so that takes car of the #number 1...

    Thinking of trading up from 2016 CX-5 GT to either a CX-9 or new CX-5 turbo ?

    I just picked my ( ours .. mostly wife car) 2018 CX-9 GT AWD in machine gray/black (stunning in my opinion). As fate would have it one of the Mazda dealers here in Phoenix had a dealer driven car with 5000 miles on it so I was able to eliminate most of the drive off depreciation. I met the GM...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    I should also add that the car has the front/rear bumper trim option (do we like that?) and 1600 bucks worth of dealer add ons including full window tinting ( looks great with the gray) the $995 "paint armor" protection and film in the door cups and door edges. Those uncharges went away. There...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    Dealer here today where I am possibly buying a 2018 said the "re-do" of the CX-9 would be 2021 0r 2022. Who knows if he's got real information. Knowing Mazda it won't be a radical transformation as far as the body goes but there will be updates on many things inside the car. It will be...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    Im in the middle of an over-night test drive on a 2018 CX-9 GT AWD (metal gray/black). It's was a dealer driven car with 5500 miles on it. Sold as new so full factory warranty from today and will extend the mileage to 41k miles. Current negotiated deal is $34,675 before fees but I don't pay...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    Yes that is the problem. The CX-9 is larger ( wheel base and overall length) than some of the other "mid-size" SUV's but the cargo space is on the small side. It's enough for me but it is a much larger vehicle than the CX-5. I'd be taking a strong look at the CX-5 turbo models but when they lost...

    Last night my wife told me...

    The reduction in cargo space on the Gen 2 CX-5 makes no sense. It now has only 30 cubic feet ( down 5 ) from the previous version with the rear seats up. That's going the wrong direction. It will either get me into a CX-9 ( don't need the 3rd row but need the storage.) or I'll have to look at...

    Last night my wife told me...

    My wife loves her 2016 GT as well and when I do drive it I am always pleased with how good it feels. Almost 4 years and 40k miles on it and now it's decision time. I can certainly keep it for another 2 years until the powertrain warranty is up but the trade in value takes another hit over 50k/5...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    What dealership did you buy from if you don't mind me asking? I'm in the Phoenix area and shopping CX-9's and 5's. That seems like a fantastic price (4k off MSRP ) on a 2019. Cardinal Mazda in Peoria has 2018 GT's AWD ( which I want) and their internet price is like 43k. I'm going tomorrow to...

    Thinking of trading up from 2016 CX-5 GT to either a CX-9 or new CX-5 turbo ?

    I've watched dozens of video reviews from these "expert" reviewers on both the CX-5 and CX-9. The only two real demerits they hand out are no panoramic sunroof and dated infotainment set up. I disagree with both items. A standard size sunroof is all I would want or need in this type of car. They...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    Is there any chance the CX-8 body could make it here in the USA?

    5 vs 9? And 15% off MSRP on an 2018?

    I'm cross shopping both right now and the pricing is making the decision difficult. A 2018 CX-9 GT or even Signature trim from 38-40k or a 2019 CX-5 Signature for maybe 2k less best case scenario. I don't really need all the extra room of the CX-9 and will never use the 3rd row so its just extra...

    2018 CX-9 steeting wheel leather cracks

    I'd drive it over to the service manager and show him your new wheel. Then drive away.

    Thinking of trading up from 2016 CX-5 GT to either a CX-9 or new CX-5 turbo ?

    Thank you for the response. As far as model years on the CX-9 I was just referring to 4 years being 2016's 17,18 and now 2019 all on the road. I did not realize they debuted that late in the model year. Oddly enough I just got back from the store and there was both a brand new ( dealer plate)...

    CX-8 vs CX-9

    New guy here cross shopping CX-5 Signature and CX-9 Signature. Is the USA getting the CX-8? If so I will be tapping the breaks. The 9 feels and looks a little too bulky for me and the 5 feels a little too compact at times. The 8 could be perfect. Looks like its a home run in the mother land.

    First 500 miles on my CX-9

    I'm thinking of making the move to the CX-9 from the 2016 CX-5 GT (AWD) because I want a bit larger footprint on the road with a more refined luxury type ride. I know it won't handle in the twisties as well as the CX-5 but that is maybe 5% of mileage I drive so I'd trade that for more comfort...
