I have a 07 cx9 grand touring and sometimes it doesn't start. I have to try few times.
Do anyone knows the problem?
 
Possilbe the fuel pressure is bleeding down while the car is off. Does is start every time with just a couple of cranks? Never left you stranded? Does it do it more when you have let it sit for hours or overnight? Does it do it when you re-start it right after shutting it down? There is usually a check valve, pressure regulator, or a leak (injectors, among other places) that may allow the fuel pressure to bleed down while the engine is off. Maybe it's taking a few second while cranking to build back up.
 
Check 2025 battery in the smartKey.
Replace it if it has been years since last time you replaced it.
If it does not start and there is a yellow key light in the dash, the car cannot sense your key.
It either lock the ignition cylinder or it let you turn but no starting.
