Just purchased a 2011 copper red CX-9. Touring, AWD.

After a lot of window shopping we pretty much had our choices narrowed down to either the GMC Acadia or the CX-9. My wife also wanted the Nissan Armada but I told her that was out of the question. After reading the reviews, many publications put the Mazda on top. We also noticed that the Mazda had the best bang for the buck, hands down. We jumped on the 0% APR before it ended this month.

We haven't drove the car much. We are both nervous to drive it, for some odd reason.

Looking forward to sharing my experience with you all, and to satisfy the inner forum ***** in me. (boom06)

Welcome.
The first thing you could do to improve your CX9 tremendously is replacing all the tires.
Of course, I am not saying you just throw them away. Trade them in if you could.
Winter is coming. Alternatively, get a set of snow tires. OE tires are barely OK on snow.
Don't say that we did not warn you. Other than THAT and so-so MPG, CX9 is mostly perfect.
Welcome again.

Thanks for the advice ceric. I will look into that. I enjoy tire shopping anyways.
