True, A few folks with nothing else in life to do. Just the volume of cranky replies they are capable of, paints a picture of their lives... these are middle aged trolls by definition. Just Ignore. I actually got a reply from NHTSA and they want more information from me to investigate this. I...

Good job on ignoring my entire point and instead questioning my mental capability. Bravo! Myopic much? I'll be ignoring your replies. You have not contributed to this topic much more than personal attacks and questioning my capabilities.... and judging those who differ. You Sir come across an...

Never dawned on me ever either. If you read my post. I was stopped and made a mistake in assuming I was in Park. For all the folks who think confirming Park position before ignition off is a novel solution... Thanks Captain obvious.

You basically exaggerated my concern to make it outlandish... Does not invalidate my concern. Just fallacious mode of argument. Sound much like Someone unwilling to change with changing times. What I expect is pretty standard with other manufacturers... I'm not asking these guys to solve world...

I have and encourage others who are concerned regarding this to file a complaint with NHTSA https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/

The 'bottom line' comment is very evasive... This clearly is a bug (oversight) in Mazda's implementation... this is 2017... a car should be able to protect you from such a situation by either a) not letting you do it b) beep and warn.... My 10 year old accord does not let me take the keys out...

So I attempted this today without success. I did remove the front engine splash guard. But there there is another piece of plastic which I couldn't figure out how to remove without breaking it. I'm going to attempt inserting something without any access from below.

Protecting the intercooler with a mesh screen (2016/17 CX-9) I noticed the intercooler at the bottom has no protection from road debris (2016). Has anyone explored how to add a screen mesh to help the poor guy out? A fine mesh would be bad idea for cooling reasons, but I'm sure a mesh would...

Yes, then its listed appropriately as "freight or destination", not as dealer fee . Another phrase used is "doc prep fee" if not "dealer fee"

Destination or, freight charge is already included in MSRP (unless its listed separately)

No, but in your analysis, subtract the dealer fees from the "dealer discount" they claim they are giving you. End of the Day the actual discount is just 300 some dollars in your case. In California, there is a law to stop dealers from pulling such shenanigans. All Dealer fees are limited by the...

Is this North or south Cali? And what was the breakdown?

What is the $599 Dealer Svcs Fee?

After doing more analysis. I will be saving maybe 1.5k over 4-5 years of ownership. I think I'd rather buy the new one. Now The question is 2016.5 vs 2017. I can afford to wait around 3 months before I really need the SUV. I'm sure the 2016.5 deals won't be around until then. What type of...
