Had a 2009 CX9 for 7 years and just bought a used a 2018 CX9 GT, such a huge difference in power delivery and ride quality. As for the 2019 features I was waiting for before buying this one I other than the ventilated seats and 360 view, I think I missed.
The re-tuned suspension, if it's softer for more of a comfort ride I'd pass. The 2018 set up is what sets it a part from the other 7 seaters in the class.
Folding mirrors, I'd pass- Don't need them opening and folding in -25 weather every time it's locked and unlocked.
I saw the Mazda 6 7" center gauge cluster, not impressed. Not very high res and who needs to fuel gauges. ( analog and digital ). The 2018 side info screen seems like logical place to put the supplement info. Already have a lot of info in the HUD.
I'd like take one out for a test drive see if there is a big difference, an engine retune might have been more a draw to some that don't like the low HP numbers, as for me torque is where it's at. It's a unique set up in the market place unless one goes to a diesel.
