    Bye to my CX-9 2016

    So I have sold my CX-9 and leaving this community. I have had my CX-9 for a full year and put 26,000kms on it. It has been a pleasure to own. Nothing major went wrong. Just the usual annoyances that are known. 1) Crashing MMI (Needed software update) 2) Service Due indicator intermittently...

    2.5T Pings/Knocks w/87 Octane. Try to hear your engine if you have the same

    A while back I posted on here that I was hearing a ticking sound, during acceleration, under boost around 2500-3500rpms. When in Park, if I was to rev the engine up to those rpms, there was no ticking noise. I took it to the dealer at 3000kms on the odometer and left it with them overnight and...

    '16-'17 - Right side info screen on gauge cluster changes background

    I noticed that the background on the info screen in the gauge cluster changes. It might changes depending on the weather. This morning it looked like a snowy road background (see image) it was flurrying on my drive.... yesterday I noticed the background was black, the weather was dry. Or maybe...

    2016 Rattle noise 25-3000rpms

    My 2016 developed a rattle noise in the right front passenger area engine bay that occurs when accelerating under boost between 2500-3000rpms. When I'm sitting parked and I Rev the engine to 3000rpms there is no rattle. Does anyone have this noise? My dealer said that the exhaust manifold...

    CX-9 2.5T drives better with 91 Octane

    4200kms on my Signature and after experiencing 87, 91 vs 93 octane..... IMO, the engine has better drivability qualities using 91 Octane or higher. At lower revs, I feel the engine is more responsive, has less turbo lag, and is smoother using 91 vs 87.... it feels very apparent when you are...

    Canadian Models - 2016 Signature Steering wheel stitching

    Calling Canuck Signature owners..... does your steering wheel have the red stitching detail? I see the red stitching in the online pictures. Perhaps only the US models get it? US gets the stitching on the steering wheel CAN gets the heated steering wheel perhaps...

    My 0-60 run - 2016 Signature on 93 Octane

    RL] After 3000kms of gentle break in driving, I decided to try 93 fuel. I did a few 0-60 runs and it definitely feels like it pulls harder after 4500rpm. 1st gear seems to always shift very early even in sport mode. Forget the manual mode, it's hard to get a quick upshift, you end up hitting...

    2016 Fuel Economy after 1000kms

    Im impressed with the fuel economy on this thing. My morning drive consists of 25kms of highway drive (steady 100-110km/h) and then 25kms of stop and go (60-80km/h)...therefore 50/50 mixed. I find the 2.5T very easy to gently accelerate to speed with very little (maybe no) turbo boost. And then...

    Zaino Z2 Pro on my Machine Signature...

    I am a detail nut and love perfect paint finish. I did a handwash, dry and then 2 layers of Zaino Z2 pro, followed by A wipe of Zaino Z8 Grande Finale Spray. The tri-coat finish has some crazy depth that I never seen before. Zaino lasts a really long time and makes the paint surface feel like...

    2016 CX9 Color thread - Machine vs Soul

    Hi all, first post. I placed placed order on a GT-technology package here in Canada. I picked Soul red on black. I'm debating between the Red or Machine Grey. I'm not sure which color. I believe the Grey is the most popular choice people have ordered. I typically like something different then...
