Same here, the oil change reminder will not turn off. My wife says its getting annoying.

Yes, but the base Q has all the features of the Signature CX-9. Even the 4 cyl. Q7 performs better than the CX-9. But my point was the Q7 weighs 500 lbs more than the CX-9 but gets just about the same mileage without having to resort to Sky active stuff. Don't get me wrong, we own both cars...

who's gonna trade in a 1yr old car for the tilting seat bottom? Do you not get the point?

This seems correct. On our summer vacation to Florida from SC, on completely flat interstate, at 77 mph constant, we got 21 mpg calculating miles driven on a full tank. We do not use the overly optimistic gauge in the dash.

My wife could care less about the wood and napa if she cannot get comfortable in the seat. This is a basic function that should have been included. It is on just about any other car with power seats. How much money did that save Mazda? Infotainment system has already gone blank on her a few...

The 2017 Q5 base has more horsepower than 2016 SQ5. The 2017 SQ5 is twin turbo this year, 354HP, but still 55K+ Correct, there were some more items but insignificant and they added it back to the Signature Edition

Nothing is wrong with the car (this is our 4th CX-9), no way you're getting that mileage unless its completely flat going less than 50 mph. Our 13' CX-9 got just a bit better than yours in suburban driving. Never got past 22 mpg on highway.

I may have said that wrong. The tilting adjustment of the bottom cushion of the seat seat is gone. In the older CX-9s, when you push the front of the bottom cushion adjustment knob up, for example, the front of the seat tilts up or down if you push the front of the knob down, independent of...

The fact of the matter is, the wife drives the car 90% of the time. I don't think she (or you for that matter) will notice the .1 sec difference in 0 - 60. Just under 16 sec in the quarter mile is pretty slow BTW. After owning 4 of these, I have a pretty good sense on where they've gone with...

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings there. Like I said we've had 4 CX-9s and how many have you had? That 8 hp was never felt and fuel mileage decreased with the 3.7 ltr. I also remember having LED interior lights in the doors and it went away. The LED tail lights also went away in 2013. I...

2nd gen is not faster. The old V6 sounded a lot better and basically the same mpg. The best engine was the 3.5 ltr v6 that first came in the CX-9. Fuel mileage was better than 3.7 ltr or the new 4 banger, which sounds like a lawnmower when accelerating. We've had 4 CX-9s and as a whole, the...

This is very true. Like the VW Touareg, it is every bit as good as the Cayenne (they're even built in the same factory) but no one wants to pay 65K for a VW. Now that model is being discontinued and the Cayenne is Porche's cash cow at an average price of $85k. I don't understand it.

I totally agree. For me, I need a tow vehicle but hate pickup trucks, where here in the south, everyone seems to have one. And have you guys priced out pickups lately? The Audi for me because being an engineer, I like all the technology that comes with it. The wife's CX-9 is better looking...

You need to drive the Audi 4 cylinder turbo before you start talking about turbo lag. They've been at this longer than Mazda. Plus the Audi at least can match the EPA stated mileage while the wife's CX-9 struggles to get 20 mpg in mixed driving. The Audi power is more linear and does not fall...

The Audi Q7 has all of the features above, standard on most trim levels, heck the 4 cyl Q7 performance is even better. Just sayin.

My wife's car has 10,0000 miles on it now and around town, she's getting 17 - 19 mpg. We've been on a couple of long trips and were getting 21- 23 on interstate if we stay below 70 mph. Most people here in the southeast almost always drive above 75 mph so we set the adaptive cruise at 76 mph...

There is no way you're getting this in New York. I've had 4 CX-9s and what we can agree on is that you're not gonna get the EPA stated highway mileage unless you drive a steady 50 mph. Who normally drives this way? Most interstates have a minimum speed of 50 mph and you will get many middle...

This is exactly how I calculate mileage. I have a little cardboard slide rule that BP was giving away, probably 20 yrs ago and it calculates the mileage this way. Funny thing is my wife got it when she had her 1989 Mazda 626.

I think you will find a lot of these features are available as standard now on the other SUVs, namely the VW Atlas, which has Android and Apple carplay standard. We've had 4 CX-9 since it came out in 2008. It seems they have decontented it every year. Fuel mileage with the 4 banger is no...
