- 2019 Mazda CX-9 Signature
So I am about to sell my Q50 2.0t and purchase a new 2019 CX-9 Signature from the dealer. I have been doing a lot of research lately and find the CX-9 to be more appealing every time I read about it, however, I have some concerns maybe owners can help me address.
- How is the engine note/noise when driving at a speed of 140km/80mil? Is there like a humming or engine noise the gets into the cabin? Also, what is the rpm when driving at that speed?
- Are there any rattling noises in the cabin specifically from the plastics (creaking/squeaking)?
- Hows the gear downshifts during traffic, is it smooth or is there any sluggishness?
- When merging into the highway, do you feel the CX-9 can pick-up speed smoothly?
- I see a lack of lights in important areas in the cabin, such as the glove box, doors, and footwell, is there any way to add light in those areas?
- In regards to the infotainment, hows the boot-up and response speed? Also is it stable enough that reboots do not happen frequently?
- Is there an option to add engine hood struts as an aftermarket modification?
- Do the LED front head lights turn with the steering?
- How is the quality of the leather after 2 years, is there a crack or discoloration on the seats, steering wheel, or gear knob?
- If I set the adaptive cruise control to the closest distance, how far will the vehicle in front of me be?
- Does the lane keep assist keep the vehicle in the center of the lane or must the vehicle swerve close to the edge of the lane for the LKA to intervene?
My biggest worry is the 4-cylinder engine noise, my current Q50 2.0t sounds like a diesel and has a lot of engine, road, and wind noise when driving at 140km which make it very uncomfortable
FYI, I am a single guy with no family yet, however since I am driving for long distances most of the time, I was looking for the most comfortable and reliable SUV in the mainstream market
