- 2013 Mazda CX-9 GT
Hi All,
My wife and I just took delivery of a 2013 CX-9 GT, in Aluminum Metallic Mica with black leather interior.
This is our first SUV/crossover type vehicle, and our first Mazda.
I guess out of the gate I had a few random questions:
- What do you guys use to clean, maintain and protect the seude portion on the seats? (leather no problem, got that covered)
- Are the OEM roof rails an easy DIY job? I was surprised the CX-9 didn't come with any roof rack or rails, compared to other vehicles in it's class. But I'm assuming OEM at least for the basic rails is the way to go vs. something aftermarket. All worry about other accessory attachments (bikes, skis, etc.) later.
- Right now we just have the factory carpeted floor mats. I'm boggled by the choices. From my brief time on this forum I see some swear by the Mazda all-weather mats. Some prefer WeatherTech. And some like a mix and match. And even within WT, there are two variants for the front - their all weather and the digitalfit floor liners.
- Aside from the mats decision and the roof rails, any other "gotta get" accessories or add-ons that fellow CX-9 owners would recommend?
Thanks!
Jason
