- 2018 CX-9 GT
So I've been really looking to figure this out, maybe some input.
I have a 2018 cx9 GT-- lovely vehicle.
When I just got it, I was so surprised by the torque and it's ability to put you on your seat at nearly any speed.
After breaking in the engine, I did a few 0-60 pulls and got between 6.9-7.2 seconds consistently! Right on the reported speed of this vehicle.
About a year after getting the car ,(brand new) I carried it to Mazda for an oil change. The took it upon themselves to update the PCM (engine computer).
I noticed immediately the car felt different and underpowered driving home from the dealer.
Did a few pulls 0-60 using the same app, same roads and using 94 gas.
I'm now getting at best 7.9-8.5 seconds 0-60.
Gas is 94 octane and I just did a fresh oil change to Castrol edge.
Just last week another pcm update was available to I carried it in thinking maybe it'll be better-- nope, still feels sluggish. Car has 68k kms now with newly installed plugs from the dealer, OEM.
New pulls reveal the same numbers to 60.
Tried sports mode, traction off etc and various combinations-- still feels slower than when I just got it.
Note, I tried to keep an variables the same to repeat it he results fairly.
Exact same result, 7.99-8.5 seconds to l from 0-60, a full second more than what I recall when now getting it.
Any ideas?
