whoa, some people are getting signatures for around $40K ? time to go see my local dealer LOL.
when they first came out I was quoted $45K for signature. I hope they have black leather as an option for 2017 Signature instead of the auburn. But if I can get signature for $40k I can live with the auburn LOL
Oh and by the way, the Signature trims only come exclusively in the brown nappa leather...no option of getting the black leather other than if you get a GT or other trims even for 2017. The only change Mazda made was adding a sonic silver ext for the Signature trim where before there were only 3 ext colour choices for 2016...now there are 4!
The US already had Sonic Silver for Signature trim, so that wouldn't really be a change. If Mazda added more driver's seat adjustments and maybe Apple Carplay and/or Android Auto, then the 2017 would be worth waiting for. At least for me, it would be.
Actually new CX-9 has 6-way power driver's seat.⋯ still no apple carplay/Android auto nor any addition to the current 8 way driver's seat adj.

Crikey, I was referring to the changes here in Cda not USA where now we get sonic silver in Signature for 2017 vs 2016. Also I just signed up for the 2017 Signature which I am getting this week and I can say for a fact that there is no diff in features for '17 vs '16 as I have a copy of the product spec sheet from dealer...still no apple carplay/Android auto nor any addition to the current 8 way driver's seat adj. Your best bet for those to be added will likely be 2018 or 2019 models that may also include G vectoring control
is there any mention of adding brake hold feature (for stop and go traffic, can remove foot from pedal to rest, the car will hold still and release hold until you with press brake or gas pedal) to 2017 Cx-9 ? I would have thought that would have been also along with the heated steering wheel, 2017 CX-5 will have brake hold, so it would be logical CX-9 should have too
Yes, understood. This means a non-improvement in the US for 2016 to 2017. However, I will wait on official word from Mazda regarding the 2017 model for the US. Heated steering wheel seems like an obvious addition for 2017 in the US since other markets have this feature. Should there be no significant improvements, getting a 2016 with significant savings would be the way to go. The driver's seat adjustments are a deal breaker for me, so no 2016 (and possibly, 2017) for me. May have to, unfortunately, look elsewhere.
Although there is no button marked "Brake Hold", the same result is obtained by applying the parking brake, then simply stepping on the gas when you are ready to move off. The parking brake will release automatically.
Heated steering wheel I doubt will be added to '17s in the US market as it was Mazda's decision I heard to give the heated steering wheel here in Cda but no aluminum roof rails. In the US market aluminum roof rails are available but no heated steering wheel...a good or bad trade off? Bottom line is due to cost...
If cost is really the case I understand Mazda's reasoning. I just wish they made heated steering wheel an option in the US. In the SF Bay Area it doesn't get that cold but when I go to Lake Tahoe it gets pretty damn cold sometimes I wish my steering wheel was heated. I see that the roof rails are $420 MSRP but I don't know how much the heated steering wheel costs. Not sure if this is a good trade off.
Yes. But this is not the brake hold featureAlthough there is no button marked "Brake Hold", the same result is obtained by applying the parking brake, then simply stepping on the gas when you are ready to move off. The parking brake will release automatically.
