I wouldn't think of getting my dash dismantled like that just to install a 360 camera. Looks like a lot of things might not go back together as well as the first time.

It's interesting how 360 camera's and pano-roof's are almost required equipment these days. I personally could care less about either. I bet most people don't have sunroofs open 10% of the miles they drive. 360 camera could be helpful in tight city conditions but that's not me. I've never really...

I had a 1989 MX-6 GT ( black/gray/auto) and it was a great car. I had it for about 6 years and probably 90k miles and it was perfect with no problems. Pretty quick car with great gas mileage. I've had 4 other Mazda's mostly as a result of having that car when I was young..

Thinking of having my slightly used (5000 miles) 2018 GT AWD clear bra'ed this week before anything else chips. I've had other cars done and I am a believer. Does anybody have any film preferences? I know the Expel stuff is considered the top but most of the other brands are good at this point...

I had the Husky all weather rubber mats in my CX-5 and they actually fit on the CX-9 ( go figure). They are a bit cheaper than weather tech but just as good in my opinion. I got the OEM cross bars for the roof rack. Thule Force medium box fits fine. I got the OEM mud flaps to keep the rock chips...

I had the dealer put them on mine last week when they did the Carplay. Charged me $180. I could have done it myself but I could have taken 3 hours and screwed it up too. I do a lot of rural road driving where gravel on the road is abundant so having these should keep some of that from being...

I just went with a CX-9 after looking at most in the "segment" and driving several (Highlander, Pilot). The only "luxury" brands I drove were the new MDX AWD Hybrid and a top trim Audi Q7. I did not drive the Lexus but I can bet it's a great ride and reliability and resale will be very good. To...

Mine came with the Falkens and I think this is the first set of this brand that I've ever had ( lots of cars). They look like your basic all season tire and seem to be fairly quiet which is very important. The ride is pretty smooth considering the tire size and profile. I won't know how good or...

I kind of get what your saying. I noticed on my new (2018 GT) kind of hesitating when trying to get going from a stop with about half throttle. Not sure if it's slipping but its kind of random and I thought that was possibly turbo lag but it donate happen every time. It accelerates smoothly when...

I'm going to bit the bullet and get it done. I did to have it on the white CX-5 I had and that had almost no significant paint chips anywhere in 40k rural road driving. I was shocked. The whole lower front end on this car is a large vertical slab that will catch some crap. Just doing the lower...

No I have not. Is this different information that the on screen A-B trip meters? I need to spend some time on that screen. I know it has the bar graphs and such.

I'm not sure my 2018 USA version has a driver seat thigh adjuster. Although I find it odd that many of the critic's only beef with the CX-9 was the drivers seat was not adjustable enough and they could not raise the front of the seat bottom. I can do that on mine. I just use a twisting motion...

I just had the AA/USB added to my new 2018 as part of the deal so that's done as well. I'm don't think I'll miss the 360 camera that much but if I could retro-fit the seats to ventilate I would look into that if it were not stupid money.

Any of 2018-2019 GT's or Signatures are great. I got a 2018 GT AWD leftover that had some dealer miles so I went that way and saved some money. I had them install the Apple car play as part of the deal so that's there and seems to be the big item that was missing. My car was built 5/18 so now...

What type of paint protection film are you going to use and what parts are you going to cover? Mazda dealership where I bought my 2018 CX-9 quoted about $850 and that was for the full front, A pillars, mirrors and either a full hod or a half ( not sure). He said the have a guy who comes there...

That'd encouraging. I'm still at a 21 mpg average after 200 miles of neighbor hood driving with some interstate thrown in. The car has 5700 miles on it so it's broken in. So far I'm loving it. It would be interesting to see how much quieter the 2019 is because this thing even with 20" boots is...

I just got a 2018 CX-9 with a build date of 5/18. Do we think that would have the latest firmware? I am getting Carplay installed tomorrow so maybe that will do it. The screen has shown up black 3 or 4 times I've started it out of about 20 times and that's no good.

Do you have the OEM rails on the car already? I'm getting the OEM's cross bars as part of the deal I made on the car. Hope that's a good decision.

Thanks. When I heard that the 2018 CX-9 ( and others) could be updated it made the 2018 at a lower price more desirable because it seems to be the number one knock on these pre-2019 cars. I have it in my Corvette. I use it occasionally but I can stream my Spotify just using bluetooth so it's not...

I can see after 600 miles that your probably right. 22-24 will be the max on western interstates where speed limits are sometimes as high as 80 mph. It's the trade off for the heavier car/turbo but that kind of negates Mazda's rational for having a 4 cylinder in this car. I get that they didn't...
