 I doubt if finding out others are getting great deals on the CX-9 is going to improve Beta's pleasant dispositon.

I just called my Mazda dealer and confronted him with the up to $10k discount. His response was "am I crazy". Tell you what...you get me $10,000 off a loaded GT and I'll take it for my daughter.

Please spend a little time to read this thread yourself. Maybe just the last 50 posts or so....
"Mazda CX-9: Prices Paid & Buying Experiences"
Examples are abundant.

Hate to tell ya dude, but you are wrong. I, too, got almost 10k off my 08 Sport CX-9. I paid 22.2 (MSRP was 31,935) for a awd sport with power drivers seat and roof rack. That price included all fees except doc fees ($140) and sales tax (6%). As others have suggested, read the thread. No one has any reason to lie.

Yep, bought a 2008 GT AWD for $10,200 off. $40,200 sticker got it for $30K even back in October. Didn't even have to haggle.
 
Back to pet peeves though. Does anybody elses center speaker grill on the dash buzz on rough roads? Also my driver's window starts buzzing too usually on the same roads. I'm getting annoyed with these two rattles.

Just bought the GT AWD w/ moonrf/bose, NAV, and towing for $30,400. It was the dealer demo though, so that might explain why I got it $10000 under MSRP. I also saw a bunch at a dealership that had every 2008 at $10000 under MSRP.
 
I have no major complaints, but I do have issues with the headroom in the front with the moonroof and the NAV system is a little weird. This is my first experience with a NAV system, so I have no point of reference, but it seems clunky to me. I'm in the IT field and whoever designed/programmed this must not have had a regular user in mind when designing it. Where are the buttons to go to a previous screen, I find myself having to hit the NAVI button all the time to go back to the original screen to start all over again?
 
 Overall, I love this car. It's soooo much better to drive than my Montero Sport, which clunky and had no features.

*Worst tire traction ever. Constantly skidding through snow, worst ever.
*Poor seat heaters. Anyone else have a problem?
*Paint bubbling and peeling off back emblem plate (replaced)
*Poor Bose quality
*"Key" light comes on frequently while driving... ????
*Windows go down fine, but "thump" on the way back up
 
Some of these are move than peeves, actual problems. I've only had the car since May. Not the happiest.... I also am having poor customer service at my dealer. Example with windows, "Mam, I don't hear what you hear" But everyone else in my car does....

I don't have a problem with the seat heaters, other than they get too damn hot. Would be nice to have a few options for how hot you want them to get.
 
My Bose sounds awesome, no complaints there.
 
As far as the key light is concerned, look in the manual. It suggests not putting your key in certain areas of the car because it can't "see" it.
 
I also have the thumping noise when my windows are rolled up, but it doesn't really bother me. It just means there's a good seal. If your window sounds like mine does, I don't know how they couldn't hear it...

*Worst tire traction ever. Constantly skidding through snow, worst ever.
> Bridgestone Dueler 400 H/L is bad on snow. It's well-known.
 
*Poor seat heaters. Anyone else have a problem?
> One setting is not flexible to anyone. But "poor"? What do you meant?
 
*Paint bubbling and peeling off back emblem plate (replaced)
> Not a problem on mine.
 
*Poor Bose quality
> When it comes to stereo, it is relative. People who know will say thar all Bose systems are trash. I think mine on CX9 is way better than my other vehicles. Of course, I am one of those who don't know stereo well.
 
*"Key" light comes on frequently while driving... ????
> Your SmartKey ECU cannot see your key. Where do you put your key when it happened? SmartKey fob can be interfered by cell phone. Don't put them in the same pocket.
 
*Windows go down fine, but "thump" on the way back up
> If the "thump" happens in the middle when rolling up/down, your problem is waiting to happen. Mine evetually stuck half-way. The cause is very simple. Some styroform(?) came loose blocking the glass mechanism. Let Mazda dealer check it out. It should be very smooth and quiet going up or down.
