    So long CX9

    Traded the CX9 in for a Buick Enclave yesterday. CPO car, loaded, and most importantly has the towing capacity to properly haul the bigger boat I bought this spring. Put a couple hundred miles on the Buick yesterday bringing it home and first impressions are it has a far smoother ride, much more...

    Lots of drivetrain issues

    2 weeks ago my transfer case decided to die. I had done the DIY drain and fill once but it was pretty late (45k) and the oil that came out was really bad.

    Late intro thread

    Been posting for a while in the tech threads but never posted an intro. We recently traded our 07 Nissan Murano in on a CPO 2012 CX-9 Touring AWD. It's the wife daily but will be our go-to vehicle for road trips and weekend errand running. I picked up a homelink mirror on eBay for $50 that I'll...
