just reached a deal on a cx-9: sport model with Driver Power Seat, Heated Seat and Heated Mirror.
$25,000 ++.
Now negotiating on the financing.
Do you believe I can get a 0% through Mazda? What's the lowest I can bargain for?
Thanks.

Looking at 2010 GT. Can anyone enlighten me to any disadvantages to the AWD. My two local dealers have all GT's with AWD. Live in NW NJ. Do get some heavy snow and hilly. Hate to lose "pep" with the extra 200 #.
 
any comments ?
Thanks

the biggest difference practically will be a loss in fuel economy. the FWD is rated 16/22 city/highway MPG whilst the AWD is rated 15/21. personally, i average 17 MPG with 60-70% highway driving in my state of NJ. i wouldn't think you would experience power loss and in poor traction areas (snow/ice) you may get better pickup depending on the tires you have (OEM duelers apparently stink from others' experience). good luck!

Disadvantages with AWD
- worse MPG - trust me, more than 1mpg difference in real world driving. More like 2-3mpg penalty for city driving. On highway, 1mpg may be close to reality.
- slower acceleration - no test data to support this, I am afraid
- more parts to fail - more expensive to maintain (such as transfer case fluid change)
- can'r replace only two tires - must replace all four to keep AWD happy.
  (Costco has the same policy)
- when it is being towed, you must call for a flatbed.
 
Advantages of AWD

Advantages of AWD--from a FWD CX-9 owner:
1) torque steer mitigated--virtually eliminates one of CX-9s biggest shortcomings; and 2) superior traction under all driving conditions--especially in icy or wet weather.
 
Is it worth 1-2 mpg to know that your wife is much less likely to end up in a ditch? Your call. However, if I lived in a cold-weather state, I would have bought an AWD model without hesitation.

I would imagine a FWD CX-9 in the Northeast is a pretty hard sell..
 
That's why your dealer only has AWD...

I ended up pruchasing 09 AWD Sport with PWR Driver Seat, heated seat package from Crystal Auto Mall in NJ for 25,000 + 300(Doc Fees) + TAX and Title. I would have loved the touring but they don't have any.
 
I think it is pretty reasonable deal. What you guys think?
 
I was in between 2010 Honda PILOT EXL for 33,000 + TTL or this one. I choose this one. I don't know why ... but I believe it is a good decision.
