    Infotainment display TSB

    I meant "sad" in that I don't like the idea of tearing up the dash on a relatively new car, I have full confidence in their ability to fix the issue. My previous Mazda 6 sedan run for 148,000 miles with zero issues besides wear and tear, so I was hoping this would carry forward. I did take a...

    Infotainment display TSB

    I have run into this issue as well. Screen went dead on me, audio works fine. Sad to hear it needs to be replaced so soon, I don't even have 2000 miles on mine

    Stop and Go Cruise Control on the 2017 CX-9?

    I peeked your signature, it looks like you have a 2017 CX-5. If so, your version of ACC has "true" stop and go radar cruise control. This feature was not released on CX-9s until MY18 vehicles. On the 2016-2017 CX-9s, once your adaptive cruise control gets under 15mph, it gets disabled and a...

    Stop and Go Cruise Control on the 2017 CX-9?

    That sucks. I would have hoped that they could configure it so the interactive screen displays hold functionality...oh well

    Stop and Go Cruise Control on the 2017 CX-9?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get true stop and go radar cruise control functionality added to the 2017 CX-9 GTs via sw update? I understand that the 2018s have the ability to go down all the way to 0 mph, unlike the 2016/17 model years which cut out at 15mph. I'd have assumed the...

    Best Price on Mazda Extended Warranty for CX-9 ?

    Mazda does not call them extended warranties, they are extended confidence coverage and I don't think you are required to buy them from the original dealer if they wont sell it you. The best time to get it is within 90 days of the purchase. Call around and ask

    why i purchased a cx9 ?? :)

    Mazda has always come across to me as a niche player. I myself stumbled on the brand purely by accident when I was looking for a cheap Mazda 6 that my co-worker was selling. Still, I see your point, it's an anomaly considering how well a comparable brand like Subaru seems to be doing. I think...

    AWD or FWD

    OP, the answer to this question is entirely dependent on your driving characteristics. I am in the Midwest and I typically commute 100 miles every day, 95% of which are highway miles. The highway in question is almost always clear. For that reason, the FWD made much more sense especially...

    Radar Cruise Control - 2016-17 vs. 2018

    I second this as well. I drive a lot of highway/ urban and there is always stalled traffic. It would have been good to get an upgrade Stop and Go to existing cars with MRCC because it does make a huge difference. I don't think there is a hardware difference between the two that I can think of...

    Car and Driver long-term update - 25K, no problems

    Looks like it has performed predictably well. I have not experience any of the rattles on my 2017 but I have noted the wintery weather has made the infotainment system somewhat sluggish initially. That said, I am also averaging 24 mpg just under the 500 mile mark on my FWD

    Will Mazda release AA and carplay?

    I've been following a Reddit thread with what appeared to be a corporate employee, and he mentioned that the 2018 launch cycles will not have any vehicles with AC or AA (including the CX-5-d). He did mention that the current infotainment has been validated and will be capable of supporting its...

    CR CX-9 Reliability Nosedive

    If there isn't a sufficient sample size with which to compute reliability, why even issue a score? I haven't read the entire report so my comments are based on this thread alone, but isn't it overly presumptuous and somewhat deceptive to issue a perception score without actually doing the work...

    2018 CX-9 New Owner Comments

    It's a stunner. I had the choice of white, red and blue, no black. It's a stunner for sure, especially after a tint job.

    No accessory pricing on Mazda website - any info?

    Check out the 3D Maxspider all-weathers as well, I grabbed a set from Amazon that seem to be cheaper than Weather-tech, not sure how the quality compares to the Mazda ones

    2018 CX-9 New Owner Comments

    Congrats on the new ride. I have been looking into this car for three years and yesterday I finally pulled the trigger on a 2017 GT in Crystal Blue. You are right, the CX-9 seems to have a lot of "feel" on the road, I never got the sense of a power drop at all across mixed urban/ back-road...

    Has anyone qualified for 0% financing for 60/mo?

    Hey there, I am getting an offer for almost exactly what you list for a 2017 GT ~$36,200 and I am wondering if I should jump on it. May I ask how you went about getting them to throw in the extras? Also, I am a little lost on the math. Are you saying that you ended up paying $2K higher because...
