I put a set of TOYO GSi5 tires on 18" alloys for winter on my 2018 GT. Had a set on our 2009 CX9. Good in snow and on ice, quiet and good wear. Had 45K km on them and still had 7/32 of tread left when I sold them.

Thanks Pele2048, this is great info.

Well not sure at what outside temp it is triggered at but today I started my 9 and it was 3C on the OAT gauge and the shutters were closed. Once the vehicle temp gauge got out of the blue range and the blue light went out the shutters went open. So, the shutters definitely aid in allowing the...

Also, agree with the HVAC area and the airbag indication area. What's with the 2nd and 3rd row passenger info. Now there are pressure sensors in each seat, when will those fail? Seeing the 360 camera and the 7" center screen in the Mazda 6 today and I'm really glad I got a 2018. The resolution...

New dash only on GT and Signature, this one is a GS. 18" wheels and lack of chrome trim gives it away. Here is a GT, HVAC controls are different adding the ventilated seats, Airbag indicators and backup camera lines...

$42K CDN with 21,000 km. It had over $5000 of accessories that I wanted including 19" Mazda rims and Nokian winter tires.

I was having a look behind the grille of my 2018 GT, noticed in front of the radiator a shutter assembly. I was trying to put a screen in front to keep bugs and fuzz sticking to the rad fins. I know the 3 and 6 had them on certain models. Can anyone confirm they are active on a CX9 and how you...

Had a 2009 CX9 for 7 years and just bought a used a 2018 CX9 GT, such a huge difference in power delivery and ride quality. As for the 2019 features I was waiting for before buying this one I other than the ventilated seats and 360 view, I think I missed. The re-tuned suspension, if it's softer...

Currently have a 2009 CX GT. I have to agree with danmm7 with torque steer on the new gen CX9, never felt that in my 9 in rain or snowy conditions. With good winter tires I rarely had TCS light come on, only unless it's glare ice. Granted the new engine put out way more torque it would be nice...

I'd like to see the ventilated seats, I could pass on the 360 degree camera. Memory mirrors to seat and tilt down reverse should be easy to add. The Connect system is looking dated now in it's 4 year already. A revamp would be nice. Tire Pressure monitoring displayed of all 4 wheels is on my...

What is the build date of your 2018? Sticker is on the drivers side of the door frame.

Sm1ke, What was the All in cash price before the accessories were added? Dealing on a GT in the Edmonton area.

Mazda Canada says they switched to individual sensors in the wheels for TPMS in the 2018 CX-9 for a more reliable system than the previous indirect system that used the ABS sensors. So now you need to buy another set of sensors if you want TPMS with your winter tires.

Went to the dealer today and on the Canadian 2018 CX-9 I noticed they are using Tire Pressure monitors in each wheel instead of the in-direct method that used the ABS sensors. Does anyone know why they changed to individual monitors? Other that making money on customers who want to have the...

I attended a Mazda Test Drive event this week. I spoke to someone who drove the new CX-9 in testing last month. The first photo is most likely what it will look like. He talked about it having a 2.5L turbo with 300lb ft of torque, I missed the hp figure. 6-speed auto, paddle shifters and lighter...
