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. ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_3061_zpsiqax8n0b.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_3061_zpsiqax8n0b.jpg) ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_3062_zps0ogwxmyv.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/DSC_3062_zps0ogwxmyv.jpg) ---

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. ---

I came here to post this: [http://blog.caranddriver.com/mazda-recalls-193000-cx-9-crossovers-for-rusty-suspension-parts/](http://blog.caranddriver.com/mazda-recalls-193000-cx-9-crossovers-for-rusty-suspension-parts/) 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: > [@JayS](#): > > Only comes with one, 3.7 v6, 273hp.
