Mazda actually rates the 250 hp when using 93 octane. Does anyone know what its outputting on 91?

Really? They removed the TPMS set button to left of the steering wheel? When you rotate your tires or change pressures, how would you reset the system then? Are you sure

Why would your TPMS not work with your winters? Just press and hold the button to set it.

They both drive excellent. I was very close to buying the Jaguar but the service at the dealership was extremely poor and my salesperson disappeared. I could never get pricing or options despite sending him my build sheet from the website and following up. I love Porsche and have a Boxster S...

I concur, I just find a SUV easier to get in and out of with my arthritis. The little extra height makes a difference especially with sport seats.

My 2016 looks exactly like yours on both sides. For some reason the fender liner is designed differently. Never would have noticed had you not pointed it out. I do know they put a lot of effort into sound deadening and road noise isolation into this model. Perhaps it's on purpose? some sort of...

Life's too short for boring vehicles. It's an emotional purchase, I just love driving it. If you ever get the chance to drive one, please do. I'd enjoy hearing your opinions if you can be objective and realize that most people's decision on it's quality and reliability are based on the last...

It's actually only in the US right now and is being offered by manufacturers like Volvo, Cadillac and Porsche and by independent companies like Clutch Technologies. Your vehicle, insurance, registration, detailing and maintenance is all covered with a flat rate monthly fee, all you have to do is...

It might be a North American thing as it happens here in Canada as well. My Mazda dealership has been the 1 exception and I've had a good experience, all the others I've dealt with have been horrid. The stories I hear from family and friends are of the same level of disappointment and...

Well my Mazda CX-9 has had it's share of issues so I'm willing to take a chance on something far more exciting to drive. If you go by the 2017 JD power ratings, Mazda does very poorly and is rated 6th from last. The people that I know that have the cars all like them and have had no real issues...

I had the same issue with mine. There is scheduled maintenance reminder and then there is the oil life indicator. One comes from the ECU and the other from the infotainment system and they do not compare notes, lol. I read through the manual on how to reset the warning but had no luck but a stop...

The Mazda dealership here has been great and I really like the service dept and they've tried hard to figure out some of the issues. They really worked with me and went above and beyond when its engine wouldn't heat up even after half an hour of driving in -20c weather. I think I would have...

The tilt would help but it's more than that and i'm sure not going to spend money on it. Besides the usual infotainment slowness, glitches, cold weather rebooting, occassional black screen, not connecting to phones for media and corrupting USB memory sticks plugged into it. The speed reading in...

Most of your comments echo my own thoughts, thugzy. My wifes Civic is going to our son turning 16 so mercifully she is going to take the CX-9, otherwise I was going to return it back to Mazda early. My fault for looking at a "sporty" SUV, it just isn't as capable as I want and the constant bugs...

As well as Full color HUD, traffic sign recognition, radar cruise control with full stop/ start function and G-Vectoring control. It's great that they put all this equipment in the CX-5 but as a CX-9 owner I can't help but feel it's a slap in the face to what their flagship SUV should have been...
