I bought the 20" Liquidmetal Splice wheels at my local Discount Tire store for $216 each. They were in stock. You can find them online for about $194.

Hi. I agree that the dashcam mounting position is probably not perfect in terms of ultimate image framing. However, I was willing to compromise a bit in order to get that clean look. I took a still capture today to check the closeness I can get, and I can get the complete car ahead of me in the...

I bought my 2018 CX-9 in November. It was the right choice and has handled a couple of 700-mile one-way interstate trips with four people (my wife, two adult daughters, and me), daily 18-mile each way commutes, occasional third-row passenger duty, and miscellaneous hauling. -I'm a...

I've only had my '18 CX-9 for a couple of months, but I THOUGHT I used to be able to change destinations on the navigation system (or add an interim destination) while driving by using the Command knob. I know it won't let you use the touchscreen. However, when I'm in motion the address option...

It's really difficult to persuade some people to invest in dedicated winter tires, but all the tests show that they make a significant difference. The best snow car I've ever had in nearly 50 years of driving was my Mini Countryman All4: a short car with wheels at the corners and AWD is really...

This deserves a bump...it's a great story!

I'm 66 and recognize that my eyes aren't what they used to be. That said, I'm very happy with the headlights on my 2018 CX-9 Signature. I've driven the car in rain and snow, on highways and on dark, winding country roads, and I've never felt that the lights limited the other capabilities of...

This is a far more intelligent and objective discussion than typically found on automobile discussion boards (and I have an Aston Martin DB9 and frequent those forums, too!). I needed to replace my 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4, and was thinking Audi Q7 or Mercedes GLE. I wanted a solid...

My wife today said "I don't really like the seat in your car." I said that I found them very comfortable. It's a 2018 Signature. She went on to explain that she finds herself sliding out of the front of the seat when she leans back, so I said "Just raise the front edge of the bottom seat...

Azeke- Can you post a picture with the hood deflector? Thanks!

Regarding "occasional" third-row use, my executive staff team from work goes out to lunch together every Wednesday. Last week I drove six of them in my 2018 CX-9, with two men in the third-row seats (both 180-200lb, one over 6'). The drive was only about ten minutes, but both said that they'd be...

Ok, maybe I'm a little defensive... My car cred includes a Lotus, BMW, Porsche, Triumph, Austin Healey, and other "enthusiast" cars. My first Mazda was the first RX-7 sold in in my market back in 1979 (that rust color with the weird tartan seats). I currently put around 6,000 miles on my Aston...

I spent six months analyzing my options (my needs are the same as yours). I found no greater reliability in Audi or Acura, and the CX-9 had better fuel economy. The Audi Q7 is nice, but there's a serious cost differential. The Volvos were a non-starter due to reliability and some weird...

Ok, I THINK that it's working. The key was switching from the vibration warning to the beep, because the correction is so weak that the vibration masks the steering intervention in most cases. Frankly, I feel a bit misled by Mazda claiming that they have "Lane-Keep Assist" in addition to "Lane...

Thank you, deepfriedsushi...that is a brilliant summary. I've seen the display lines that indicate drifting from my lane and also experienced the steering wheel vibration warning resulting from doing so. But I haven't felt the steering correction (or seen the hands-off-wheel warning). I'm going...
