In 2020 Mazda CX-8 Gets Modest Equipment Update For Japan Market, one of the changes is the 2nd-row Captain's Chairs. So, I think that this change will definitely be in the 2020 CX-9.
$5K is a big difference between 2 vehicles that are similarly equipped. Here in the US, I believe the difference between at GT FWD and a GT AWD is just the cost of the AWD, around $1800(?). Torque steer might be lesser in the AWD vehicle since the power can be distributed to the rear. But, if...
I normally wash cars during the daytime. If they're asleep during that time, I can only apologize.
I do use a similar drying towel but the Meguiar's one is a bit cheaper.
Makes sense, it should dry quicker if water just beads off. I did wash 2 cars yesterday, the just waxed CX-9 and my sons 12-year old VW GLI and used the same blower drying method. I didnt notice a difference but it could be that one is quite smaller than the other, so they dried at approximately...

I use a backpack leaf blower to dry a majority of the vehicle. I cant get at the roof area with the leaf blower since its a backpack one. I then use a synthetic drying towel to get the roof and the residual moisture. Cuts drying time by a lot using the leaf blower and minimizes touching of the...
Per Mazda, MSRP is $46710. Our purchase price was $41448+TTL, which is an 11.2% discount that included a $1250 rebate.
Yes. For this month, the incentive is $2500 + $750 for Mazda owner.
When we traded in our 2010 CX-9 for a 2019 CX-9, it was also in perfect working condition. It did require a rebuilt transmission at 55K (which was covered under the powertrain warranty), but was trouble-free for the most part. It was garaged and well taken care of, in terms of maintenance...
I bought a similar one at Home Depot for about $10. I helped a little bit to drive the screws in. However, I used the included tool to tighten the screws.
For the cost of the cross bars, it will do. The Thule crossbars would cost 3 times more, but it will allow for the flexibility of frequent...

And I understand you now about the 3rd-row AC vents for your puppy. I think that the 2020 CX-9 will be adding 3rd row vents.
Since you state that the 3rd row will not be used often, I would think that the lack of a 3rd row AC vent should not be a deal-breaker.
Now, the infotainment issue might be, so I would recommend waiting on the official Mazda statement on the 2020 changes since it is rumored to have a 9-inch...
I had this issue on all the vehicles that I*ve owned. It really is caused by the condensation from the AC that doesn*t get to dry out completely. I used Klima Cleaner which works but requires quite a bit or work to use.
The one I currently use, and has been quite effective, is the Enerzen...

It is quite interesting that you cannot use a cargo cover simultaneously with a vertical cargo net. I would have imagined that they would have engineered a hook with the cargo net catches to make everything functional.
There's a quick shot of the model changes, listed on paper in the YouTube video.
It says leather color changed from Chestnut to Parchment. I do prefer the Auburn (Chestnut) interior that the Signature has. Parchment is similar to Sand, right? In addition, handsfree liftgate, Bright color alloy...
This actually happened to our 2010 CX-9 where I had the transmission fluid flushed. Shortly thereafter, the transmission started to vibrate the vehicle at higher gears and eventually resulted in the transmission being replaced at, luckily, 55K miles and was covered by the powertrain warranty...
