| The size of the sunglass compartment. Not a big deal, but the compartment is incredibly small. | |

I bought a 2009 AWD port last week. All good so far but we have hardly 500 miles on it. My peeves: 1. Minimal internal storage, esp in front 2. No Compass, would have been nice to have that included in the driver info module. 3.Auto dimming mirror is not standard.

Replying to: sanjayn (Jul 20, 2009 10:32 pm) http://www.mazdaparts.org/au10.html Installation is fairly easy with clear instruction from Mazda. It would take about 1/2 - 2 hours depending on you skills. |

1. Rear hatch does not open high enough. I am 5'10" and I hit my head. 2. Black floor carpets show dirt easily. 3. Tow package not available on FWD models (except GT with a "mandatory" GT assist option). 4. Dealers and salesman not knowing the tow capabilities of their cars. But I bought it after looking at Pilots (2nd choice), Highlander (yawn), Sante Fe (good value but too small), Veracruz (too mushy and too expensive), Traverse/Acadia (poor availability ans too expensive). IMHO the best CUV out there. |

Replying to: howardru (Jul 21, 2009 2:53 am) We just got a 09 Grand Touring that has the HomeLink auto dimm mirror and it doesn't have the compass in it. If I look at the .pdf file on mazda usa of vehicle specs, it says the compass homelink auto dim mirror is standard BUT, if I look in the glossy marketing brochure it shows it as NOT available for the GT and it does show an autodim mirror w/garage door opener...like it was an afterthought? the wording just seems awkward to me. But something is fishy for sure...I'm inclned to go back to the dealer and ask them where my compass auto dim homelink mirror is that mazda usa shows as 'standard' (and i know i'll get the ol 'specs subject to change w/o notice' response); still it stinks...no compass on the GT...looking at parts/acc you can't even find/order the homelink auto dim without compass...it only asks if you have the auto sensor for the wipers or not. sheesh...Dave

Replying to: wdhyte (Aug 25, 2009 6:45 pm) http://www.mobilevideo4less.com/gentex/homelink.html According to MazdaUSA their specification for the GT is the Homelink Compass Mirror as STANDARD. Go select Build a Vehicle, and choose Grand Touring. At the bottom of the list is this mirror model. I had to pay extra for mine. Sounds to me like your dealer did a switcher-roo on you!
