I've a long ownership background in the VW and Audi world, as well as an active Miata owner.
We currently have two interesting commuter cars, my wife drives a mkV 4-door GTi and I drive a D2 S8 (the Ronin variety). We have one daughter right now, and we both work and commute to daycare...
Currently for longer roadtrips we use my Audi, which is a nice vehicle on the freeway. However I'd like to limit the miles I put on this car.
We want to give ourselves more interior room, have room for expansion and be able to carry other family members when they visit us.
I've a very positive ownership record with Mazda from my Miata experience, we came very close to buying a cx-7 previously but that was before our baby came along and it was then that my wife preferred to drive the GTi due to it's smaller size.
Post baby we now see the need for a larger vehicle, and the CX-9 is top of our list. I like how it drives and the interior size.
I generally avoid going to dealers for basic maintenance, so I'm eager to ask how accessible is an oil/filter change on these cars and how do you find generally reliability ?
Hope to see more of the forum...tks...
