#1 of 28 Switch to lock AWD in 50/50 mode? by kharris Aug 03, 2007 (9:37 am)
Hi folks!      Can someone tell me if the CX-9 has a switch to lock the AWD so it has a 50/50 front/rear power distribution. A number of other crossover SUV's have this feature but I haven't seen it mentioned for the Mazda CX-9. Thanks!    Ken Replies to this message: carlitos92 (Aug 03, 2007 1:06 pm) kharris (Aug 04, 2007 7:10 am) 90limited (Aug 21, 2007 5:49 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: kharris (Aug 03, 2007 9:37 am) Does not. AWD is strictly "on demand," and the car itself decides what constitutes that "demand."   -c92 Replies to this message: kharris (Aug 04, 2007 7:10 am) 90limited (Aug 21, 2007 5:49 pm) aviboy97 (Aug 22, 2007 7:13 am)

Replying to: carlitos92 (Aug 03, 2007 1:06 pm) I'm sorry to hear that, but thanks for supplying the information. My experience has shown me that for some snow/incline conditions, the 50/50 distribution is noticeably better than letting the vehicle determine what it needs.    Ken Replies to this message: 90limited (Aug 21, 2007 5:49 pm) aviboy97 (Aug 22, 2007 7:13 am)
#4 of 28 FWD vs AWD by 90limited Aug 21, 2007 (5:49 pm)
Replying to: kharris (Aug 04, 2007 7:10 am) Can anyone give any insight if the AWD is worth the cash. I would think the FWD would handle all but the worst of weather... Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Aug 22, 2007 7:13 am)

Replying to: 90limited (Aug 21, 2007 5:49 pm) If you are in an area that gets snow, I would splurge the extra $1,200 to get the AWD. You don't want to have an instance where you wish you got it. You will never wish you didn't.
