    Sirius Satellite Deals?

    Just call and ask for the $7.95/mo music only package. I did this for all three cars and they all have every channel.

    Let's talk 20" Tires to Replace OEM tires on my 2012 CX-9 GT!

    First off I would look at tirerack.com and use it as a reference. They have an exceptional listing of most tires available in that size. They also have an extended database of user feedback as well as they're own test results. I've used that info on many occasions and it has not let me down so...

    The wife and I got the chance to see a 2013 touring in the same color up close and both decided that we liked the 'ol smiley front end better!

    CX9 All Wheel Drive System...Is It Worth It?

    IMHO, Mazda's AWD system in the CX-9 is similar to many other manufacturers systems and performs equally well. I have a 2001 Tribute, bought new, and it has been a great car especially in the bad weather. The Tribute's setup is similar to the CX-9 in that it has the same Cyclone family of V6...

    CX-9 Weathertech mats

    If I were a betting man, I'd say they were the same. But, I would be safe and let someone with a '13 speak up.

    Looking for a more comfortable ride

    I believe that the problem is multifaceted. First off let me say that in any car there is a compromise between ride quality and performance. The CX-9 has a performance tuned suspension and will tend to ride more harshly that one that is tuned for comfort. If you add to that a tire with a stiff...

    CX-9 Real MPG

    I believe the reason was to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Many experts have been saying that fuel from a food stock is a ill-conceived endeavor and I believe this from my experience in this industry. The plants I'm involved with generally produce between 55-110 MMGPY of Ethanol...

    How to disable the DRL?

    Tex....I believe you are right! Since I purchased this car new, directly from the Mazda dealer, I couldn't think of how that could be. But, he had an outside service install an aftermarket remote starter and I think they wired it to the wrong points. It should turn on the parking lights at...

    How to disable the DRL?

    Still a little confused! I did a little more research and am still not quite sure how these function. Attached is a pic of my DRL and it clearly shows that the Parking lamp is lit. If I turn the light switch to the park light position with the engine off nothing happens. If I start the car then...

    How to disable the DRL?

    Nope.....with the headlight switch on, the headlights are on. With the headlight switch off, only the DRLs (little prism yellowish lights just to the left of the main headlights) are on. In both cases the the "Lights-on" symbol is illuminated as it just stays on constantly.

    How to disable the DRL?

    My new 2012 Touring has the DRL enabled....I don't mind that though. I would think that it is a software enabled option that can be turned off by the dealer since they are not required here in the US. The "Lights-on" symbol on the instrument cluster is always on when my car is started.

    unintended acceleration

    Can't slam the brakes.....a full throttled engine overpowers the brakes. And on some vehicles, the shifter is electronic and tied into the engine/transmission control modules not allowing you to shift into neutral when the accelerator is fully pressed. So, if the control modules think you have...

    New to Mazdas - is the new 2013 CX-9 reliable?

    I think for people living further south, the AWD vs. FWD is a real decision that can go either way. But for those of us that live in parts of the country that get a considerable amount of snow each year (New England), it is one of the options we specifically look for. That's one of the main...

    I have the Bose and it has a sub in the back just below the cargo area.
