Hi,
I think the new CX-9 checks off all the boxes on my shopping list outside of AC issues that numerous reviewers have mentioned and a possibly over eager autonomous braking feature (I see somebody just posted on that yesterday so won't repeat the question here).
Regarding the AC, I've seen at least 3 reviewers mentioning the AC was performing so poorly in only moderately warm weather that they all thought their units were broken. It's kind of hard to believe that Mazda would send out press cars with non functioning AC on 3 or more occassions. Can 2016 owners from 90 degree+ and sunny areas like TX, LA, GA, FL... chime in on how there AC has handled this summer? Has the AC performance ever been unacceptable like when temps crept up into the 100's? Nice trim, nice cushions, nice design are all great luxuries, but the best luxury hands down in a hot state is cold AC.
