    20" GT wheels/tires???????????????

    Tires on 20" GT Wheels/ The brand of tire on the 20" wheel would make a HUGE difference in the ability for the suspension to handle bumps and the generated harshness and noise. What are the tires that Mazda uses on the CX-9 20 inch wheels?

    Roof rails would look great if aluminum

    Like the Enclave - the roof rails nicely match the wheel sheen. I agree, that would be a great look for the CX-9

    FiveG, you are right, the 3rd row on the MDX should only be used by little people (meaning, kids), and the CX-9's 3rd row is significantly larger - I agree. But, the MDX's 2nd row is decent for two adults. However, you said, "The MDX lacks . . . .a useable middle seat in the second row, and a...

    CX9 - vs other crossovers.

    OK, this is not a very fair assessment. We have an 03 MDX that we have driven 51,000 miles. We have 5 kids aged 9 - 29. And, the sizes go up to 6' 3". The MDX 3rd row is only used by the 9 and 12 yr olds and their friends and it works fine - we don't use it everyday. And, the 2nd row is...

    Drove an Enclave

    Background: Just a reminder guys (and gals), I am the one with an 03 MDX that is about 70% leaning towards a CX-9. OK, I have heard (via internet mainly) quite a bit about the Enclave - it is getting some fantastic accolades and lots of orders (for Buick) And, I have a soft spot for Buicks - I...

    Thinking: 03 MDX for a CX-9

    Our lease is about up on our 03 MDX. The MDX has been a great vehicle - it is mostly my wife's car and we have 5 kids (two at home). No problems with MDX except the brakes made a clunky noise that Acura eventually fixed. It is loaded - NAV, backup camera, rear entertainment, etc. Nice...
