So long Murano

Hello Mazda CX-9.

Didn’t really plan on trading cars yesterday but the numbers worked and here we are. 2012 CX-9 AWD Touring, Mazda certified. Color is called “Dolphin Gray” and I had to get my SLR out to get a decent picture of it because it looked silver from the dealership’s pictures which is not how it looks in real life.

Nice color

extreme

nice :tup:
which motor did you get?

Only comes with one, 3.7 v6, 273hp. Seems to move it fine for a big suv.

:tup:

my my highlander goes back in a year, was looking at one of these as a replacement… Update this thread in a year or so lol

edit: is third row available in these?

Yeah, you can only get them with 3 rows. It’s a 2-3-2 config where as the GM twins are 2-3-3. Entry/exit is really good though.

I really like some of the things Ford has been doing but wonder if it will have any reliability issues.
I loved my Speed6 but thats apples and oranges.

cute, is that the same 3.7L they use in the mustang?

… but does it have SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY?

I came here to post this:

Looks like you’ll be in phase 2:

Due to parts availability, dealers will start repairs in September on 2007-2009 models affected in the “salt belt” states, followed by 2010-2014 models in these states, and finally, for CX-9 models in all states.

In my search to find this thread I came across something really funny:

ha!
