TPMS has been discussed in detail elsewhere on this forum if you search and want to read more. Sadly, on the CX-9 it's just a warning light that illuminates when a tire gets below a pre set threshold. It does not tell you which one either. I was disappointed by this low end feature in such an...
The JBL system in my 2013 Toyota Venza Limited I just traded in for the CX-9 had the same problem, chopped off much of the Sirius/XM station information. The 2019 CX-9 GT display provides all of the station info and color "album" cover art or station ID logo. I do miss having dedicated station...
I'm going to lend my hard learned experience on rodent abatement to the conversation. When I purchased my 2013 Toyota Venza within 6 weeks I was cleaning a dead rat out of the cabin air filter compartment and discovered about $450 worth of damage to wiring insulation, windshield washer fluid...
Will chime in here although I've only had my 2019 GT (FWD) for exactly a day. I spent over a year researching vehicles and test drove all contenders before deciding. There's no 100% perfect car in my opinion, also I live in a rural area in Texas which limited my options in brands (not wanting...
Thanks tex2670, you're right- got a response from my salesman this morning who says it's black. Weather Tech offers black, tan, and cocoa colored mats and floor liners for the 2019 CX-9 so it made me wonder what the color was. Probably more economical for Mazda to make all of the flooring...
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere. I'm taking delivery this Friday of a 2019 Grand Touring which has a sand color interior. However I've never seen this color in the flesh so to speak. Test drove a Signature model so don't know what the floor mats or floor carpeting color actually is. I...
That's reassuring to hear that the engine is a solid performer. I really liked the Highlander despite it's being a bit dated but the software issues with the Nav system and the plastic clad alloy (Chrometec) wheels were too off-putting to make it a serious contender. The Pilot had more room...
Ssteigss10, thanks for your input. Let's face it, there's no perfect car out there and it's always a compromise on some level. One of my big concerns about the CX-9 was going to a turbo 4 cyl engine, last driving a 4 in the 80's. The test drive convinced me that it'll probably be fine and I...
Thanks sm1ke for the excellent synopsis; exactly what I was hoping for. I've noted the few debate on the forum about the HVAC heat (and heated seats) effectiveness, since I live in Texas and not Minnesota I'll probably be OK either way. Appreciate the tip on the vibration issue; the test drive...
Hello all, I've been lurking on this forum for several months trying to decide which new mid-sized crossover SUV to purchase next month. Narrowed it down to the Toyota Highlander FWD Limited Platinum, Honda Pilot Touring FWD, and the CX-9 Grand Touring FWD. After driving them all to be honest...
