We have a 5 month old black on black Grand Touring with Nav and sunroof. We have the opportunity to buy a really nice SUV from my dad for a bargain. While we love the CX-9, it doesn't make sense to keep it under the circumstances. We have taken it to a few dealers, and most have offered us...

Go to edmunds.com or truecar.com and price with options. They both have the prices that should be paid. For an end of year model, I read to shoot for $1,000 below invoice. I got a little better than that.

We got a black on black this week as well. Love it! I absolutely love the bluetooth feature. My salesperson didn't know much about it, but it only took about 5 minutes to set it up. And, the contacts rolled right over!

I have the sunroof package and was excited to find that there is a trick to open the front windows and the sunroof when you are out of the CX-9 and the car is off. Push the unlock button and then quickly push it again for a few seconds. Voila!

How can I reset the average fuel mileage between fill-ups? I can't figure it out, so I am not getting a good reading on the mileage. I will do it manually, but I figure there has to be a way to electronically do it as well.

I got it late last night, so here are my initial impressions. I am a mom of 3 with zero technical ability, so this will be a raw review of a lot of cosmetic stuff. :) The Good: Absolutely does drive like a sports car. Wow, what performance. Great looking exterior. Great looking interior...

I know. That's why I'm concerned. :)

Thanks to everyone on this board for all of the help. I will be the owner of a CX-9, Grand Touring in a few hours. I'm excited and pretty nervous. I'm anxious to explore BlueTooth, the iPod connectivity, navigation (since I'm a fan of Onstar) and the overall feel of it. I bought this one...

Well played and so true. :) Do you mind telling me how I would use the GPS to find a Sonic? Type it in? Or, can it not be used like that at all?

Probably a dumb question, but I LOVE Onstar turn-by-turn. It is what we are used to. With the CX-9, if we need a a drink and want to find the nearest Sonic, can we say "Sonic" and the directions automatically come up?

Thanks for the info on Bluetooth (and the tire noise). I have an HTC Evo which is Bluetooth compatible and should have any necessary bells and whistles. The key word is should, though. I am not very technologically minded.

We want a sunroof and DVD, which of course, is not possible unless we do aftermarket DVDs. Does anyone have a brand they recommend? Is the sound quality good? The sunroof is not a huge deal, but if I can swing it, I want it. And, with 3 kids, some headrest DVDs would sure be nice to have ...

Tomorrow is the day. We either buy the CX-9 or stop obsessing about it. :) Can someone explain how Bluetooth works to me? Can everyone in the car hear the conversation, I assume? And, for those that have the Roof Rails (not rack), are they noisy? Do they add to the exterior? We have not...

I know trade-in value doesn't mean much, but I'm being offered over $28,000 for my 2008 Enclave with over 30,000 miles. KBB retail price is $31,000 plus. I think it is the only GM crossover really holding that kind of value, though. It really is the only thing holding me back. If the Enclave...

I got an Acadia when they first came out, and I loved it. We had the second row captain's chairs, and it was great. My favorite part of it was the ride. Very sporty for such a large vehicle. I had an opportunity to get my Enclave at an amazing deal with even more bells and whistles. It is...
