Guest2017
This is the very first week around where I live that rain has been in the forecast on consecutive days in a very long time. 24hrs at Le Rain, as been the story line out where I live lately. I've been waiting for this since August, 2017, and now it is here.
This vehicle no doubt impressed me on dry roads. Well, I can now state unequivocally that it actually impresses me even more on wet roads. This is my first time taking it out and experiencing what it can do and I now have even more confidence in its ability to handle unsettling wet road conditions. It does not take much to hydroplane a vehicle. Yet, I have driven at freeway speeds through free standing water as if it were not even there.
Attributable no doubt to its Falken Tires, AWD System and its new G-Vectoring (included in the 2018 CX-9), this vehicle's wet road performance has been outstanding in my opinion. The combination of those things seems to provide a seamless transition into, through and out of road conditions that I know for a fact would have unsettled several of my past automobiles and they were no slouches when it came to performance.
Now, that I know how this vehicle gobbles up hydroplaning freeway conditions in stride, I'll take it into the canyons and press my way through some turns to note the differences between its dry road handling and its wet road handling in the twisters. Exploring the CX-9's engineered performance capabilities has been equally as fun as just driving it on a daily basis no doubt, if not more fun.
Oh, and by the way - the CX-9 Signature just recently got yet another compliment offered up by someone who just purchased another basic trim 2018 Audi Q5 (this is the second genuine compliment from a brand new Audi owner in 5 months). The new Audi owner stopped by while I was doing a Meguiar's quick spray detail at the rack and asked me how I liked it. We talked about it for a few minutes while I was detailing the outside. I then opened the passenger side door, she looked in, saw the interior and nearly had a baby right there on the spot. She said, "Oh! That's so nice... I hope I don't develop buyers remorse after seeing this!"
Yep. The Signature making Q5 owners feel like they might be having a little remorse after the purchase. You can't make this stuff up. Her Q5 was in beautiful brilliant White, too. I think that was part of the attraction for her as my Signature is in beautiful White Pearl.
One more very important reason why the CX-9 has made us happy customers!
