Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring? I need to replace the Dueller Ecopia 422's (noisy, bad in snow). CS5 reviews look decent at about half the cost of the Michelin LTX. The CS5 is H rated rather than V, which I expect will result in less nimble handling. Anyone try these?

I also purchased the Curt hitch from Amazon, part number 13575, cost was $133. The OEM harness I bought from mazdapartswholesale, part number 0000-8E-N13B, cost $75 including shipping. Both are really easy installs, I didn't remove the subwoofer either, it's not necessary. I don't see any...

I just bought my CX9 GT at the beginning of July and it did come with a pouch for the OM. It's certainly nothing great, but it should be there. I think your pouch has been pilfered!! Good luck with your new CX9!

The rebates were all baked into the price so I'm not 100%, but I think it was $750 customer cash and $750 in lieu of 0% financing (I got 1.89%). There may be dealer cash as well, but one dealer told me that didn't apply if you took the customer cash and the financing, but that could have been...

I just bought a 2012 CX-9 GT AWD Black/Black with Bose/Moonroof, pwr liftgate, roof rails, cargo mat, & stnls bumper guard for 33,780 (including rebates, before TTL). MSRP was 39,060. I was driving toward 33k, but couldn't get there. I initially went into a showroom and their "best" price for...

I'm picking up my CX-9 GT AWD this afternoon and found the same price discrepancy in the GT line. Most Grand Touring's have a base MSRP of 35,125, but some are 34785 - same 340 delta. I've been trying to find an answer without success. I even asked the dealer and he had no clue. One...

I'm working with a few dealers on price now and have run into a question that I can't get a reasonable answer for. I'm looking are 2012 CX-9 GT AWD and most of them seem to have a base MSRP of 35,125, but some have a base MSRP of 34,785. There doesn't seem to be a difference in equipment. I'm...

I agree, I currently have a 4Runner that does this based on the temperature difference. If you're calling for 72 and the car has been baking in the sun it will turn the fan on high and recirculate to cool down faster. On the 4Runner at least it will turn off recirculate as soon as the temp...

Thanks Ceric, that's what I thought. Would be nice to have it tucked up under the bumper but that's not going to happen. On the bright side the bumper won't be hacked... No apologies about the sales guys. They don't sell that many different models, they should know what they're talking about!!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new CX-9 and I'm trying to figure out the trailering options. I have two questions that I can't seem to find answers to. First, from everything I've found, the OEM receiver hitch for the CX-9 has a 1.25" (class II) opening. The sales guy insists that you can...

Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to take the plunge on a new CX-9 and have been reading the various posts on pricing. I want to get some input to see if my expectations are realistic before I dive in. I'm looking at a new 2012 CX-9 GT AWD (black/black) with the moonroof/bose & power liftgate...

Hi All, I'm looking at my first Mazda as well and am researching what I should be paying. NickPDX, did you end up buying the CX-9? If so, what was the final deal? I'm particularly interested if you were able to get the 750 rebate & 0% financing in addition to the 34,488 price.
