    Front end bra?

    I have the clear bra on my CX-9, and my Mazdaspeed3, getting it put on my wife's CX-5. She has the only rock chips on the front of her car of all of us....I shoulda put it on hers too when it was new.... I live in AZ, where rocks fly everywhere and of all sizes, so along with zero-deductible...

    hatch open

    Well, I did the same thing but didn't see it when I pushed the button for the electric garage opener and the garage door caught on the hatch and scratched the bottom of the hatch up pretty royal...also dented the garage door. Brain-fart hint, when you notice doing this go close the hatch before...

    Test drove a CX-9 Signature "dreadful A/C" is correct

    Agreed. I have a DashMat on all of my Arizona cars and it seems to help a lot (along with the functionally required window tinting out here) in keeping the interior cooler. I noticed a big difference when I went from a 2011 CX-9 with a light interior to the "black cave" of the 2015 I own. My...

    Perspective, The Fickle Mistress

    I'm an old guy (63-4) who taught community college anatomy and physiology and serve the Church as a Pastor. I love my tech toys and I have from the beginning. Kids still come to me to ask how to do something on their Mac's...cool. I have NAV in all of our Mazdas, a 2016 CX-5GT, a 2015 CX-9 GT...

    2017 Mazda CX-9 Glossy pillar trim!

    It's basically a sticker. They are not expensive to buy but you really need to go to a window tint place and have someone experienced with those kind of installs do it. When my 2010 Speed3 was repainted, I asked for the window frames and B pillar to be replaced. My invoice showed $ for the...

    carPlay retrofit by Mazda

    Well, I need to see if my 2015 CX-9 has Mazda Connect. I am pretty sure my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 doesn't have it. I wonder if the hardware upgrade will go back that far....? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    "Nappa" leather in Signature trim

    Our 2016 cX-5 GT seats are leather. We also purchased a 2014 Mazda6 Touring and it has a vinyl that is obviously different than what I have in my 2015 CX-9 and the CX-5. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Just got a 2015 CX-9 Grand Touring in Titanium Flash Mica (pics).

    Good story and good upgrade of the lights. The LED's are so much brighter and put out so much less heat too! I did my Speed 3 and am now doing my CX-9 and CX-5. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Changed interior bulbs to LED (Interior LED Kit), huge difference (PICS)

    I just did that upgrade on my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 and I like it so much I am doing to do it on my 2015 CX-9 GT and my wife's 2016 CX-5 GT. Amazing difference! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CX-9 - what to look for?

    I have owned a 2009, a 2011, and now a 2015 CX-9. I had GT trim on all of them and they were all amazing vehicles. I put over 130,000 miles on both the 2009 and the 2011. I have 26,000 miles on my 2015 and split my driving time between my 2010 Mazdaspeed3 and the CX-9. I had no particular...

    2016 CX-9 - Why I think there are so many complaints about the AC - It's the windows

    Tinting is essential, in my judgement. I live in the Phoenix area and a car without tinting is an obvious out of state car or a newbie to AZ. First investment in a window with a large greenhouse: tinting! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Any Arizona or Nevada owners? I need your feedback.

    I'm in Mesa and bought a 2015 GT instead of a 2016 and have bought 4 cars from Cardinale Way in Mesa. They have a store in Peoria too on Bell Road. Either Brian or Wayne in Mesa have treated me very respectfully and fairly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    List all the bad things about the CX-9.

    Is there no DVD system available in the 2016? My 2011 had a roof mounted one with 110v outlet in the 3rd row. My 2015 had a sunroof and the grandkids have their own iPads so I opted not to get the headrest mounted system I have seen, which may be a dealer option. My driver seat has tilt...

    Anyone do a exhaust sound upgrade on 201y CX9 yet?

    Every time I get the urge to have a little burble with my tight handling, my utilitarian side takes over and I remember having a drone at highway speeds in a Hemi Magnum I used to own when I did a cheapie add a glass pack instead of the rear mufflers. There is a big cavity inside our cars that...

    Midsize 3-row Crossover Comparison Test

    This test was the most incomprehensible comparison I have ever read! Seriously, the Kia Sorento? Read what they wrote about the seating comfort, the 3rd row, etc and they placed it first? The CX-9 is definitely NOT the most utilitarian CUV out there; I knew that when I bought my 2009, my 2011...

    Really want to pull the trigger, but can't

    I have a 2015 that I purchased specifically for the V-6 and for the AC. My wife drives a 2016 CS+X-5 GT that has basically the same dash setup that the 2016 CX-9 does. We live in AZ where AC is essential most of the year and I complained every time I drove her car that the dash needed more AC...

    2016 Signature Snowflake White Pearl paint chipping way too easy

    Find a shop that does the 3M clear bra. My dealer (Cardiale Way in Mesa, AZ) had a shop right on sight that installed mine. He did the deluxe that includes the mirrors, fingernail shields under the door handles and door edges. Of course, that doesn't prevent the windshield chips which occur...

    What does rear break job means ?

    My 2011 GT needed a rear brake job at around 90,000 miles. I thought it was weird too but did it. They resurfaced the rotors and replaced the pads. I didn't notice a difference in performance, but did notice that the rear rotors were scored in a few places before the mechanic pointed it out...
