#4 of 69 Re: CX-9 AWD and Wheels [batman47] by aviboy97 Nov 07, 2007 (8:13 am)
Replying to: batman47 (Nov 07, 2007 5:22 am) 1)- Is it the AWD in the CX-9 an option or I have to pay for it?   You can either order an AWD or FWD CX-9. I believe the price difference is around $1,200.   (2)- Can I order a CX-9 Grand Touring with tyres 245/60R18 instead of 245/50R20? I do not think it will cause any problem with the electronic of the car (e.g. speedo, ABS, stability control, etc). The problem is that the only way to have the car with HID lights and mirrors with integrated LED turn signal is the Grand Touring model. This car however is sold with 20 inches wheels.   The GT only comes with 20" wheels You would have to buy the 18"'s seperately.   (3)- Will the dealer reimburse me the difference in price of these two tyres and wheels. A 20 inches wheel cost more than a 18 inches tyres/wheels.   Most likely no. It is not the dealer making you purchase the GT. You choose to, therefore you will also have to choose to pay for the 18"'s on your own. They are mega bucks, I do not suppose a dealer would loose such money just to make a customer.
#5 of 69 Tire Size Issue by psycho6 Nov 10, 2007 (6:12 am)
I'm buying a 2008 GT FWD, and my dealer has agreed to swap my 20" tires with the 18" tires from a Sport or Touring model at no charge. I realize I'm trading more expensive rims for less expensive ones, but from everything I've heard (and from my test drives), I'm happy that the dealer is doing it.
#6 of 69 DVD system by bellary Nov 12, 2007 (9:46 am)
Thinking about purchasing the 2008 GT w/ rear seat ent pkg. I've never had a dvd player in my car before, when playing movies will we still be able to listen to the radio? Or does the dvd take over all the speakers? Thanks! Replies to this message: 99zoomr (Nov 12, 2007 11:33 am) bellary (Nov 12, 2007 1:48 pm)

Replying to: bellary (Nov 12, 2007 9:46 am) With the RSES system, you will still be able to listen to the radio or CDs as long as the rear seat passengers use the headphones to listen to the movie soundtracks. We do this all the time so our daughter can watch and listen to her movies while my wife and I listen to the radio or CDs. However, if for some reason you want to listen to the DVD soundtrack, you can switch to RSES mode on the option screen. Also, the DVD player can play music CDs, so if the rear seat passengers want to listen to music instead of watching a movie, they can do that too via the headphones.

Replying to: 99zoomr (Nov 12, 2007 11:33 am) Thank you for the info, very helpful! Not sure if our 2 yr old will actually wear the headphones to watch a movie but I think we'll still get the RSES.
#9 of 69 Blind Spot Monitioring System by topneuro Nov 13, 2007 (11:52 am)
BSMS just showing up in CX-9 models, only $200. Know tha Volvo also has this but need the opinion of someone driving now a CX-9 with it. Does it work properly? many false alarma whe a vehicle is close?   Also questiona bout the NAV, screen has to flip for every music CD entry or removal now how long it will take for this to break or get stuck, anybody having problems with Navi and frequent Music CD use?

#10 of 69 Active Torque Split AWD by batman47 Nov 25, 2007 (1:39 pm)
The active split all-wheel drive is an option in the CX-9 brochure. Does the price MSRP $34,655 include this option or the dealer will ask me to pay another $1,000, for example to have this option on? Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Nov 26, 2007 3:46 pm)

Replying to: batman47 (Nov 25, 2007 1:39 pm) $34,655 is the MSRP of the Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD, less any additional options, less $635 destination, and less any local, state, or dealer charges.

Replying to: topneuro (Nov 13, 2007 11:52 am) I purchased a 08 CX-9 GT AWD the day before Thanksgiving, and have been driving the vehicle and noting the performance of the BSMS, and I would have to say that it's dead on, there are instances where the system can be a little cautious, but I'd rather it be proactive than not at all. The system hasn't thrown out any false alerts, additionally the BSMS is an option that can be deactivated via the button below the steering wheel to the left. I don't have the Nav option maybe someone else can answer that question for u. I will say one note about the integreted NAV system. The factory install Nav systems are predominately used for more than just NAV, many of these system are imbedded into the cars functionality ie, audio/visual controls, vehicle monitoring of convenience and critical functions, and many other functions. The problem with this is if that Nav display or the unit itself gets damaged then it places you at an expensive disadvantage, and you will be flying blind not having access to those functions controlled by the navigation system.
