Replying to: fishhoppa (Oct 15, 2008 12:06 pm) Did you get a warranty with the cx? hi fishhop, thanks!  we're still pretty smitten about the purchase. new $24k sticker cx-7 for 17k was pretty much a no-brainer. heck, i imagine i could take it up to carmax, and they'd offer me more than i paid!  funny you should mention the RAV and CRV, as we were looking hard at those... in addition to the mitsubishi outlander. you're spot-on about not being able to pick up ANY of those for under $20k! Plus, I agree about the looks of the cx-7 blowing away the other options. I did go ahead and purchase the "total care" warranty. I bought the 10-year, 100K warranty, and paid $1300. I checked at a couple out-of-state dealers who sell these warranties online, and the lowest offer from them was $1300, so I think we did ok. I figured it was worth $130 / year to have pretty much everything covered for 10 years. |

Replying to: lockloop (Oct 16, 2008 11:50 am) I would recommend etrailer.com personally. I install Hidden Hitch for my CX9 w/o tow package. I only used it as bike rack anyway. Installation is very easy but you might need a second pair of hands to hold it up for you or use jack stand. If you tow frequently (even if less than 2000lb), I would recommend you have the TSB (list in another thread as THROTTLE PROBLEM) fixed if the CX9 was produced BEFORE May 1, 2008. That TSB specific applies to carrying heavy load and climbing hills. Just for peace of mind.

Replying to: robjamell (Oct 16, 2008 11:38 am) Rain Sensing is standard on GT, I believe. Auto-dimming mirror is an accessory which is independent of rain sensing. The fact that the root (attaching point to the windshield) is located together with rain sensor makes it confusing. I installed the Auto-dimming+Homelink+compass mirror myself. Parts+kit bought at mazdaparts.org ($0 shipping & handling). It comes with instructions. Read this for reference... http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123677379 (hope it is not against rules of edmunds.com)

Replying to: ceric (Oct 16, 2008 1:03 pm) From what I read in that forum, many complain about the wire showing and not looking factory. Any comments on this?

ceric, thanks for your help. I went to that site, it even has a video instruction on how to install the hidden hitch on a CX-9. The procedure seems very simple. If anybody else know how to install the wire harness thing next to the hitch, please let me know.

Replying to: robjamell (Oct 16, 2008 1:53 pm) I suggest that we take these accessory questions to another thread. I will answer them as much as I could. Let us not hijack this one ("buying experiences").

I got a lot of good information from posters here. Thanks. I went to a Mazda dealer yesterday. I didn't intend to buy a car. I was just looking and feeling around. I intended for a base Sport 2008 CX-9 with no option. But when I sit inside a grand touring, I was overwhelmed by how luxurious it felt for the interior. What do you guys think about the interior difference between the Sports, Touring and Grand Touring? The interior for the grand touring is amazing. Unfortunately, I was not able to try out the interior of a Sports model because the stupid salesman can't find one on the lot. As impressive as the interior looked, I was not impressed with the exterior paint scheme. The Black Cherry Mica looks like dark gray rather than purple as seen on Mazda's web site. The Copper Red Mica looks like a dull red rather than fiery orange red as seen on Mazda's web site. My wife was very disappointed (this car is for her). But later on, one of my friend told me to go back to the dealership to look one more time in a sunny day. He told me that some cars looks very different between a cloudy day and a sunny day. I will let you know my experience when I go back. The salesman told me that he would get me any color (exterior/interior) combination in any trim level and it would only take one day. I was a little surprised. I had been using mazdausa.com web site to look for inventory at each dealership. I had always under the impression that each salesman can only sale their cars on their dealership lot. Clearly, that is not true. Do any of you know if there is a central Mazda depot in Houston that any salesman can get any CX-9 they want? I also wonder if I would be able to get a good deal if the car is not from their lot?
