    CX-9 Signature steering wheel stiching

    No offense taken since there is no proper way to steer. You can steer any way you like. I have one way to do it driving down the highway and a different way to do it parking or backing up.

    CX-9 Signature steering wheel stiching

    I use my thumb to spin my steering wheel on my CX-9 Signature and the stitching is really abrasive. Anyone else experience this problem? Is the Grand Touring's steering wheel less painful? Thanks.

    2016 CX-9 performance upgrades?

    No, you do NOT want to mess with upgrading such a finely computerized turbocharged engine. If you want an upgrade, put expensive premium fuel into it. Remember, you have 310 lb-ft of torque at 2000 RPM regardless of the type of fuel used.

    2016 CX-9 Turbo Lag?

    310 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 RPM. Turbo lag? Who cares! This motor doesn't have to downshift and spin up to 5,000 RPM to generate massive kick. No wonder Wards praised the ingenious Dynamic Pressure Turbo system and named it a 2017 top 10 engine winner.

    How did you choose your interior color?

    Black on black absorbs more solar heat in the summer. White exterior is also safer since it is easier for other drivers to see you and avoid wrecks.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    Touch screen safety issue. I think the reason they do not support AA/Carplay is that those systems require a touch screen for interaction. Using the touch screen while driving creates a distracted driving safety issue so Mazda limits you to using the rotary dial while driving. Will they...

    2016 CX-9 Ambient Lighting

    Annoying peripheral light. On my signature there is a bright light on the roof that lights up the center console. Very annoying since it is always in my peripheral vision. I plan to tape it over so that it is not as distracting at night. My Prius had a similar LED light in roof, but it was...
