Hi,
I'm new here. I'm interested to purchase a used/cpo CX9 CE and up. I've driven a rental CX90(I assume base trim) for over 1000 miles. I liked it, but I prefer the older model. I've heard that most of the 2.5T issues are fixed in 22 and 23. I only saw one engine issue in this forum for those model years. Before going to the dealership, I would like to clarify a few things in comparison to CX90. I tried to find this information online, but couldn't.

- driver's leg/knee room
- In CX90, my right knee was always pressing against the center console and was uncomfortable. I'm aware that CX9 has good padding for the knee, but is it roomier than CX90?
- road noise
- The rental CX90 was loud, a lot of road noise. Engine noise was fine for me. Are the CX9 upper trims quieter when compared to the base CX90?
- seats
- I had no issues with CX90 seats. I've heard that CX9 CE has a firmer seat. Are there any differences among trims?
- dealership support
- I could be on the road a lot for work(mostly east coast and south). So, in case of any emergency, how's the service? I get that it's tough to estimate, but I assume that some of you had to get emergency work done at other dealerships. For example, I'm from Philly and my ex-Sorento blew the engine on NJ turnpike. I towed it to the nearest dealer and my engine was swapped under warranty.
