Ditto.

I've got about 900 miles on the AWD Signature, 80% city / 20% hwy. According to the computer, I average 20-21mpg. That's using non-ethanol fuel. When posting fuel numbers, it would be nice to know if we're talikng FWD or AWD and what type of fuel.

If you're not paying attention, it's a cool feature to keep you in the alignment shop, LoL. I posted this in a different thread: A friend of mine knows a guy that has something like it. He shut his off after getting creamed by potholes. 🕳 🚗

I'm with Horton and jthj. The current Mazda CX-9 is a GREAT vehicle. It's not for everybody but it shouldn't submissively bow to Toyota, Honda or any of the rest.

Horton, dad gave the car to me after he bought a new, light blue VW pickup! It was white with a 302 engine and seemed enormous... It had a single dash speaker, AM radio and footwell light. You could lay down on the bench seats with the girlfriend too.

I have just under 1k miles on mine and haven't done much interstate driving. When I do take the interstate, at times, I have noticed slight vibration above 65 mph at the onset. It's very slight and seems to fade away in time. When I feel the vibration, I make a mental note of the speed...

Cooled down to cool - while stopped at a light?? That doesn't seem normal! I have a 2018. I was driving in single digits the other night thinking, "This is the best heater ever" and then I thought about my first car, a '68 Ford Galaxie 500. That car could burn your feet. My CX-9 is toasty...

Thanks for the info! 👍

Some would say the U.S. nanny state put those britches on in 1913... and hasn't taken them off since - as you already know.

Well written and thanks for the tips. I've done the handi space deal. I like to park close to a remote "tree island" at the shopping center. That way, at least one side is safe and the other is far from the painted line. I risk sap and bird poo but hey, that's easily cleaned off if I get to it...

'Murica has 2 kinda people... them who buy into consumer riports 🇺🇸 and them who ain't 🇨🇳 sUmbody keeps payin' fur that stoopid magazine... we got better things to do, lets git sum terrrists! 🕳 🏃🏻

Yes.

I'm onboard with you all the way JPL. CR Data + CR Methodology = Fuzzy Math. Sarcastically speaking, I personally enjoy CR's "predicted satisfaction" rating. Do they use a Magic 8 ball or call in the Amazing Kreskin?

I agree on the goal being ease of use and value. But like I've said before, I've picked CR's higher rated items with mixed results, mostly poor. I now ask myself these questions: How knowledgeable are those providing data to CR? We're talking about the general public. If that's who you trust...

I'm only talking about CR ratings here. I bought a CX-9 more because I test drove it several times thouroghly. I also read owner reviews. Then I asked questions and listened to independent mechanics and Mazda service about reliability and maintainance costs. My personal experience with CU...

CR rates the CX-9 #13 out of 17 similar mid sized SUV's. Predicted reliability is poor while customer satifaction is rated good at 4 out of 5. I can't pay attention to most of it. CR rates the new Toyota Rav4 3rd in all SUV models. I just left one of those for a 2018 Sig CX-9 because I grew...

Curious what they tell you. Not being able to turn the stereo off makes no sense.

This and a couple other complaints about highway vibration with no follow up posts? BS stories perhaps?

Thanks for the pics and your help on this. In the CX-9 mirror, the center black wire is ground and the striped one right next to it is hot but only comes on when the car starts to complete the circuit.
