I've had my 2018 CX-9 for almost 3 months. I still leave the plastic film on the piano panel. So far, I'm getting about 9.6 km/l, city/hwy driving with 80% city. If its 50/50, it goes around 10.6 to 11 km/l. Still gets lots of compliments of the low-torque power and interior finish. Only feature I wish they had (and I need) is front camera so I can gauge the distance a little closer as parking can be tight around here. Also, yeah, still waiting for Android Auto to be available without spending too much. My friend said that my rear breaks is showing a bit of uneven wear, I will have the mechanic check it out in my first oil-change coming up. Other things are nitpicks, maybe a few more cup-holders would be nice. The 2018 has side mirrors that can be electronically folded, which is a bonus feature over previous years. I'm still waiting to see how long my tires will hold-up/last and my brakes, that seems to be one of the issues that has been talked about. As far as turbo lag, rarely ever experienced that. Never experienced system failure or having to reboot my Infotainment or car shutting down or strange error codes - yet. Knock on wood. I guess if this car run like this for 5 years with only regular maintenance, I would be more than satisfied. Again, the fun to drive factor (for SUV) can't be overstated. Lots of magazines and online blogs got it right - this is car/SUV i rather drive if given a choice. And our company has a few sedans/SUV to choose from...
