hello everyone, potential CX-9 owner here. Coming from 2016 Subaru Outback.
I have been test driving few 3 rows SUV for past weeks and finally settled on CX-9,
but coming from Subaru Outback with eyesigth technology (such a great car) I really want to make sure
I made the right switch. So here are few questions that I hope you guys can help me to answer.
I'm looking at 2016 Grand Touring model (to keep the monthly payment low) and 2018 or 2019 model.
1. In terms of sfety features( Adaptive cruise control, Lane Keep Assist, rear cross traffic) is there a big difference between 2016 and 2018/2019 model?
2. I know in 2018/2019 model for GT there are heating strearing wheel and ventilated seats. What are other new features in 2018/2019 that 2016 doesnt have?
3. In terms of ride quality and quiteness how much better is 2018/2019 compare to 2016?
4. One of the reasons I'm looking at 2016 model is the ability to apply MazdaTweaks AIO updates. How you would recommend this?
My research show only 2016 and 2017 models works for MazdaTweaks, is this true?
5. In terms of heads up display (Active Driving Display with Traffic Sign Recognition) how much difference between 2016 and 2018 model?
Does 2016 model have Traffic Sign Recognition?
6. 2016 being first model year of second genration, is there any known issue for this model year?
