    How long will you keep your 2012 CX-9 GT FWD

    Thanks. That is very similar to my story as well. I also got my 2012 GT with around 15k miles in 2013. Now it has 60k miles and I havent needed any repair. I just replaced my engine air filter and man, that had got dirty. I put a K&N filter just for the heck of it :-). And now the car seems to...

    How long will you keep your 2012 CX-9 GT FWD

    Hi All I have a 2012 CX-9 GT FWD with almost 60k miles. It has been a wonderful car so far with no issues. Frankly I had no idea about the common problems related to transfer case, water pump etc. I dont think I have replaced the transfer case fluid. Heck I had no idea until I started reading...

    Nitto or Yokohama

    The tires got here sooner than expected and I have got them installed now. Too early to form any opinions but I think the road noise is lesser as compared to OEM tires. Now that could very well be because these are brand new and Bridgestones had lost almost 50% of the tread. they look nice though!

    Nitto or Yokohama

    I searched quite a bit here and some other forums and it really came down in my opinion between Yokohama Prada and Nitto 421q. And there is a good deal available for 421q on ebay store of discount tires. So I have finally placed order for Nitto 421q. They get here by Friday and hopefully I would...

    Thanks. That sounds like AWESOME price. What is Tire-buy.com, there doesnt seem to be any site with that URL.

    Nitto or Yokohama

    Thanks Ceric. If I may ask, how many miles did a Prada set last for you on an avg? The fact that you have continued with them for 3rd time already indicates you like them. Just checking about the tread-wear of Pradas.

    Nitto or Yokohama

    Hi Experts Time has come to replace my OEM tires on CX-9 GT FWD. Car has around 35k miles on it and the OEM tires still have quite a bit of tread (may be 45-56%) remaining. But one of the tire got damaged as I hit a curb and needs to be replaced. So I am thinking to just change all four. Looking...

    Backup Camera Question

    I also picked up a CPO 2012 GT CX-9 yesterday and it doesnt have those guiding lines for backup camera. The reason dealer gave me was 'due to tsunami in Japan, there was some time where few parts werent available and hence cars from that time dont have backup camera lines'. Now is that a valid...

    How does CPO Warranty work if Original factory warranty is still left

    Hi Purchase price was 28500. It is a CPO 2012 CX-9 GT with 15800 miles on it. I felt it was an excellent deal, so jumped on.

    How does CPO Warranty work if Original factory warranty is still left

    Thx. Sitting at the dealership now. The factory warranty subsumes the CPO. So in my case my factory warranty will outlast CPO so I get 2 yrs of bumper to bumper. The limited power train warranty though outlasts factory power train warranty. So that will be 7yrs/100k

    How does CPO Warranty work if Original factory warranty is still left

    Hi Folks About to pull the trigger on a 2012 CX-9 GT with about 16k miles. It is a CPO from a dealer. The car still has about 2 years/20k worth original factory warranty left. I am wondering if that will subsume the CPO 12months/12k warranty or CPO warranty will begin after factory warranty is...

    What would you do? Buy used or new at these prices?

    Thanks, I have now got the details and they have confirmed it is a touring model. What's up with lack of CPO in GT trim from 2010 onwards. there are tons of touring but very limited GTs

    What would you do? Buy used or new at these prices?

    Absolutely. Many of the dealer guys dont even make an effort or use common sense. I mean the internet manager send me photos finally of the car saying its GT with AWD. I need to call him up and tell 'it is touring and FWD!' Same thing happened when we test drove a new one last week. Most sales...
