Our 2009 CX 9 has been fantastic ride for the past four years and 76K miles. One our original pet peaves about this car is the inability to lower the front passenger seat! It seems to be about an 1.5 to 2.0 inches higher than the drivers side and makes entry and exit difficult without bumping ones head in the process. We are thinking about moving up to the newest model of this car but hoped that someone on this forum could let us know if this problem as been remedied in the years after our 09.
