For those of you who need another "smart" ignition card, buying from a ebay seller is OK but just know that most of them are used with no guaranty that they work. I have purchased two cards from the same seller, remotes.inc , and one of those died soon after I got it programmed by the dealer...

Well thanks to all of your responses! Sometimes I begin to wonder if there is anyone out there reading the posts, but this one obviously hit on a good subject. IF I stick with my current FWD, many of you mentioned snow tires. On all four corners or just the front drive wheels? Probably a stupid...

Well Ami, it seems it is time to go to the corporate level of Mazda with this issue and do it now! This great little car has such a great following, the suits at the top don't want anyone broadcasting issues such as yours to potential buyers of the car that is keeping Mazda afloat right now! Be...

OK forum members, here is our question for the day. We are serious thinking about moving out of tax crazed California and into a nearby non-state income tax and low property tax status. We own a 09 CX9 with the front wheel drive system and it has been terrific. However, we are considering an...

Regarding the "headrests/head restraints" issue, the only time they really come into play for me is when I take a nap while my wife is shopping for whatever! Being 5ft 7inches, I simply push the rest down all the way, move the seat all the way forward and then recline the seat back for a very...

In our 09, the passenger seat is slightly higher than the drivers seat, allowing for many a bumped head until used to that oddity! Why Mazda didn't give the CX 9 two front adjustable seats,God only knows!!!!

We just replaced our 50K+ Yokohama Parada Spec X with some HANKOOK 20's. Hope they give us good mileage and drivability too!

Well kids, since Yokohama turned out to be way too rich for my blood, I have put on a set of HANKOOK 20's and hope we get good mileage and handling out of them. The Parada Spec X's were excellent and gave us over 50K of trouble-free miles!

Thanks to you both for some excellent suggestions/recommendations. I am going over to my local Costco and check out their Michellin prices. We really have to watch our budget these days, thanks, in part, to our do-nothing congress and administration! When will the spending of our hard earned...

Greetings to all of you CX9 er's out there. I have the second set of tires on our 09 CX9, Yokohama Parada Spec-X, and they have given over 50K miles of service. Alas, the replacement costs are way too high for my retiree budget so I'm asking you all if you could recommend an alternative tire. I...

Very Nice! As an owner of one of those "old ones" myself, seeing one in this beautiful condition is a sight for sore eyes! We Miatafiles do enjoy our cars and like to show them off whenever possible. Thanks for posting this great "collectors" car for all of us to enjoy and perhaps, envy!

Of course if you have a good relationship with your local Mazda service dept. they will do the job for about $75.00! That is what I was charged when they did mine and it works just great!

Thanks Machu_Peechu for this info. I too purchased a "experienced" card remote for our 2009 CX 9 and it works great after having the dealer program it. Great price and super item for those of you who may be down to only one card remote!

Thanks so much Chief. I will do just that. Happy Holidays to you sir!

Welcome aboard Duffy! That is the name of a great electric launch built out here in Newport Beach, CA. Most of the rich folks out here with water front docks keep their Duffy launch at the ready to cruise the harbor or hop over to one of the many restaurants along the waters edge. As for your...
