Now that I’m reading this, yes, they are turned on for me. The only reason I noticed it is because I had switched to the Mazda native system from CarPlay to adjust some settings and happenEd to tap navigation and saw the POIs. I did not turn them off at the time because I typically use Apple...

Love Blackstone. I have used them for years. Have not use them for my more recent Mazdas but I do still have a 1989 Honda Prelude that I send oil samples to once a year, just to make sure there are no symptoms of anything going bad in the engine. @OP …. Part of Mazda’s solution to help...

I would do some experimenting. Put the shifter into manual mode by tilting it to the left. Confirm what gear you’re in. At a cruising, steady state at that speed you should be in sixth gear. Then tap the left pedal shifter to make the car downshift. This will at least confirm the car is capable...

I would also go the route to buy out the lease and claim the $400. Right now, new car lots are getting bare and the prices of used cars are high. With such low mileage on your CX-9, I would definitely keep it. No telling when the new or used car market will straighten out.

I get an occasional buzzing from the center screen on top of the dash when the temperatures go from hot to cold or vice versa, quickly. On the center console, the seat bolster rubs against the armrest and squeaks. I put a little felt on the bolster and it stopped. Nothing that I’ve paid...

I’d probably send the 2nd set back, too. :ROFLMAO:

This kit actually looks to have a better solution. The strap in the pic … it has a nut on the end of it. You can thread the strap through a hole in the body so it’s underneath another existing hole. The ball for the socket piece then has something to screw into, Then you yank it out and...

I purchased the Autobahn88 Hood Lift Support (for 2016-2021 Mazda CX-9 Mark2 Skyactiv-G) through Amazon. They make hood lifts for tons of vehicles. Their hardware mounts without the need for drilling. Installation literally only takes about 15 or 20 minutes. The quality of the hardware itself...

I got them on Amazon. They look to be good quality. I’ll be installing them this weekend. Autobahn88 Hood Lift Support, fits for 2016-2021 Mazda CX-9 Mark2 Skyactiv-G (Matt Black)

Great feedback. Thanks for sharing. A few comments you might find helpful. 1. I just received aftermarket hood struts in the mail. They bolt to existing points on the hood and just inside the fenders….no drilling. Supposedly will install in 15 minutes. I’ll take pics and report back...

I have a 2021 CX-9 GT also. Wireless chargers in general seem to make my iPhone run hot so I’m not too worried about the phone feeling warm in the car. Unless my phone is below 50%, I typically set it perpendicular to the charger so it doesn’t engage or put it in the cup holder. If I‘m...

Yes, you can get a 12,000 mile lease. You can go 15,000 if you want but the additional miles cost more. I decided to start leasing because I would always trade in every outlet of years. For me, I know I would always have a car payment so saving some money every month by leasing makes...

Definitely shop around. That is not a good deal. Personally I wouldn’t put more that first month down, maybe up to $1,000.

All leases are not created equal. It definitely pays to shop around at a few different dealers. As with buying a new car, for a lease I would also suggest emailing at least four or five dealerships in your area, let them know what model you want and ask them what their best lease deal is...

Center to center on the OEM crossbars is ~27 1/2”. Just measured it.

My thoughts are that Mazda did this to put some separation between its FWD brand image and the upcoming RWD platform. The market might be hesitant to accept a nearly $40,000 Mazda 6 but with a simple slight of hand, such as a new name on its true successor, that might make all the difference as...

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36489445/mazda-6-discontinued/ Damn…This sucks. Hopefully this just means a temporary absence and it will return as a new model. If it does, I’m sure Mazda did this to separate the current FWD model from the up market RWD platform.
