I am considering an '07 Touring and I'm wondering how important the motor difference is (I assume there are no other differences) between the 07 and 08's. Does anyone have more information on the differences and if they are worth the extra money?

Replying to: pulleydog (Jan 18, 2008 7:37 pm) Can you tell me more about the trip computer that you have purchased? I would like to get one too as I missed having one on the CX-9.

Replying to: 16ue (Feb 08, 2008 1:09 am) It's called a ScanGauge II and you can read about it here; www.scangauge.com It can do all sorts of things but the menus take a little getting used to. It's small, easy to install (took me less than 10 minutes) and can provide some useful information about your gas mileage, engine performance, etc. You can also easily use it on more that 1 vehicle - it just takes a minute or two to communicate and 'learn' the new vehicle it is connected to. It plugs into the OBD II connector which is under the dash, just to the side of the steering column. Plug it in, and it's ready to program....and by program, I mean, tell it which 'units of measurement' you are using, engine size, gas tank size, and fuel type. Quick and very simple. You can even change the background color to better match your dash lighting - something I keep forgetting to do. The computer gets its power from the same cable connection to the OBD connector, so there's nothing else to plug in. It comes with some Velcro for mounting it. I mounted mine centered on the front edge of my dashboard. It only blocks the odometer and tripmeter, which I can still see but I have to look over it. It can easily unplug and store somewhere if you're concerned about theft. I plan to have my wife sew a little black cover for it. I think if she can make something, it will become just about invisible with the dark background of the dashboard. It lists for $169.95 from the company's website, but I bought mine at Amazon for $159.95 with shipping. If you like 'gadgets' and have some extra money for a non-essential purchase, you'll probably enjoy having the computer. Hope that helps! |

Okay, it might sound a little wacky, but I find myself adjusting the seatback nearly everyday. And I don't mean a little forward one day and a little back the next, I mean I have to always adjust the seatback to be in a slightly reclined position, so, I'm always adjusting back. It has to be moving forward by itself. There's no way I could be continually moving it in the same direction without is being in the completely reclined position by now - it's very odd. And No, there is nobody else who drives my car except my wife who has driven it maybe a total of 4 times, tops. And we have no kids that would be playing in the car. I'd be curious if anyone else is experiencing this same condition.

Replying to: msuvet (Feb 10, 2008 2:37 pm) I've got the 'dumb' key...  on my 'Sport' model. But thanks for the reply/thought, it just isn't the cause of this issue in my case.
