Thanks everyone. We did not consider the CX-9. It is slightly on the smaller end on interior volume, but most importantly, we did not want to get into a first year release of a heavily redesigned vehicle.

After going back on forth for the past few months, we finally traded in our CX-5 for a 2017 Explorer. My wife became pregnant soon after we got the CX-5 and we thought nothing of it, but with how large these rear facing carseats are, we had to slide the front seat uncomfortably, and arguably...

Something is going on with our nav. I'm getting no sat signal. Of course it happens while we are on vacation. Did a hard reset and remove/insert the SD card to no avail. Will be taking it into the dealer. On a side note, the navi interface for address entry is plain lousy and isn't intuitive.

I guess i'm not sure why they would bother with the diesel when the new 2.5T can be tuned like a diesel. We all know that diesel MPG numbers are generally overblown because they are generally out of spec with their emissions in real world use...

It starts at 32k...

In one of the Mazda engineer videos they explained the lack of a huge sunroof for adding extra weight up high, throwing off the center of gravity. Of course it can be done, but it seems the engineers decided not to. Besides it would have negated a lot of the weight savings.

The 2016+ Ford Explorer may be worth a look. The 2017's now offer a 2.3 turbo.

With kids, and a second one on the way, i'd look at something bigger than a CX-5. With a car seat in the back, I can't even roll the front seats more than half way back. With two, and all the other things that come with lugging kids around, you are going to find the CX-5 is a bit cramped. We...

Since the OP is concerned with interior volume, test driving is a moot point. The new cx9 is one of the smallest in its class and smaller than the outgoing model. My wife and I are also thinking of trading our cx5 and I thought the cx9 was it, but the interior space (or lack thereof) is a big...

This is because manufacturers design cars to pass tests, not real world situations. Google "VW emissions scandal" for further proof.

the garage door arm slides on the track and its height is dependent on the track. What size garage door do you have, standard is 7 foot. If you have a standard height, which is what I have, you have nothing to worry about.

Most drivers would fail the moose test.

The OP (no offense) is a fanboy and gets defensive when people criticize Mazda.

The AWD also adds 160lbs to the vehicle curb weight and has more parasitic drag. Your mileage is not far off from the AWD combined mileage. You will see some improvements in mpg once the car is more broken in. My wife does about 85% highway and brand new her average was about 31, now hovering...

I use convenient store gas (Turkey Hill) and the average mpg the past 2 weeks has been 33.7. Vehicle is driven primarily on the highway.

I would be more concerned if after 10k miles my oil was still clear. It would mean the impurities are in my engine rather than in the fluid.

The built in navigation isn't worth it when your phone can have far superior navigation.

It's difficult to tell when they are on. They are more akin to accent lighting than function. But that's ok, the LED low beams do a great job.

Honda's 3.5 VTECH V6 in the new pilot only gets 1 MPG less than the CX-9. It's doable.

why not purchase the refills from the dealer at a fraction of replacing the entire assembly?
