Got my new CX-9 about a month ago, have 1,100 miles on it.
So far things are great, i miss my Honda Ridgeline, and the bed, but i'm getting used to the grocery getter little by little.
Couple things i have noticed, the all weather OEM mats i got them to throw in are really nice, but they don't really cover the floor like liners, and in upstate NY i need them to hold about 10,000 gallons of water/slush, thinking maybe i should get Weathertech liners.
It's "clunky" when i hit bumps on the road. Things feel tight, but hearing it is annoying. Not sure if anyone else notices this?
There is a super annoying whistling wind noise on the passenger door when it's windy. anyone else getting this on theirs?
power seems pretty sufficient, handling great for a big heavy SUV.
Auto HVAC seems to work well, but the whole auto AC, Rear, etc still needs to be figured out. Does the AC kick on, or is it just tellign you it'll kick on when needed? i'd hate to be running the condensor, etc when i only need 70 deg and it's 60 outside. i'm coming from a 8yr old pretty basic truck that had none of this.
Bluetooth connection seems good, but phonebook seems to have to download every time i get in the truck (??!!)
I am trying to figure out the lock/unlock programming. i got it to unlock when i park it, and the tail gate now unlocks, but getting out while it's running and trying to grab something in the rear seat and finding the rear door unlocked is annoying as hell.
auto off headlights- genius and very welcome when i'm leaving for work and getting out while dark.
so i was told it has synthetic in it from the factory. I'm used to doing 1,000 mile oil change on new cars, but i was told to go 5,000 miles. To me this just doesn't feel right. Anyone have advice on this? and are most people sticking with synthetic or going normal? i do my own, so i would like to stock up before it's needed.
Heated seats- AWESOME.
average MPG looks to be 19.1 , it started at 18.6 when i got it, so this was a welcome improvement.
