...maybe... might... a little goosey to base a buying decision on... Actually, you're in luck. I went out and carefully measured for a (virtual) 36"x80" door. With the front seat in my usual driving position, and I'm 6'1" with long legs (34" inseam), it's exactly 80" from the inside of the...

I have a bought-new 2019 CX-9 Touring, and I have caught it out several times when quickly changing from low-speed accel to off-throttle and back on, in tight traffic and, since you mentioned it, at least once it was with a U-turn. It would take 2-3 seconds to finally accept the open-throttle...

That's the great thing about new tires, they are almost always smoother than whatever the old tires were, with the tread worn down and the rubber hardened up from old age. Not saying that your new Vredesteins aren't a better tire than the Yoko's (which I also still have on my 2019 Touring, same...

Interesting, reading about all these OEM tires - my 2019 Touring came with Yokohama Geolander P255/60R18 107H G056B tires, which nobody else has mentioned - anyone else have these? Any opinions? Tire Rack's test said they are fine in the dry but poor in wet or snow, well we have little snow...

Well, I dislike the side mirrors being mounted so far away from the A pillar, because you have to turn your head further away from the usual straight-ahead direction to see something in them. Quite noticeable compared to our other cars (wife's Prius and trusty 240Kmi 1998 Dodge minivan). My...

Seat Comfort We've had our 2019 Touring (don't like sunroofs) for 3 months now, 3200 miles. Done (2) 2*450 mile round trips, and very happy with the car. I'm 6'2" 175lb, but my shoulders are just a little rounded forward, not athletically square, and after reading the previous comments, I've...

Brake Wear and Adaptive Cruise I've seen people mention that, if you use the Adaptive Cruise a lot, when the car needs to slow down, it applies the rear brakes (to minimize nose-dive, vs. applying the fronts), and that can cumulate to a lot of extra rear brake wear. In fact, while I love the...

I really think it's inexcusable to design something that is so inaccessible and time-consuming, for an item that should be expected to see frequent owner remove-and-install's. Any auto tech student at my community college could probably do better than this. And it's not like this annoying design...

My 5-week old 2019 Touring (2200 mi) shows a different random time every time I start up the engine. I mentioned it to the salesman when I picked it up - "Never heard of that problem" - I'll b**** about it at the first service. From other postings, this seems to be an occasional problem since...

Ah yes - Ethanol I'm sure it's a mixed blessing to live in Canada, but on the ethanol issue, I envy you. Due to the power of the corn-farmer and distiller industry lobby, non-ethanol gas is just about extinct in the USA, even at boating marinas where I'd love to use it due to the long storage...

On my from-new 1998 Dodge Caravan 'Sport' 3.3 V6, I changed the oil once a year whether it needed it or not (evil) it now has 236K miles and burns/leaks 1 quart between changes. Engine has never been touched, 2 sets of plugs. I may be a bit less cavalier with my new 2019 CX-9 Touring - loving...

Speaking of keeping yourself in control, l have 'discovered' a flaw in the ACC/driver loop: After coming off the highway into city traffic and getting off the cruise control, I almost crashed into the car in front waiting for my car to apply the 'cruise brakes' (headshake - so now I try to...

I can believe there is just a minor hit on fuel economy. The only time I've had my crossbars in place, there were also 2 kayaks up there, so no data from me. But the Noise! Just the crossbars are noticeable starting at 45mph, clearly louder than on my old 328 BMW. Even though they are a pain...

Adaptive Cruise Re Adaptive Cruise - Got my 2019 CX-9 Touring 2 weeks ago, did a 700-mile vacation round trip. Set the ACC distance at 3 out of 4 on interstate. Works very nicely, and gives enough distance to not make me nervous about trusting it. Still kept my foot over the brake pedal...
