It's been a while since the 9 came out but the design is just timeless.

Good point! Other than being a drinker, CX9 is better in most aspects than TBZ.

Congrats and Merry xmas, at the end of the day its best to get what you want and really like. Kumbaga sa babae, ang pakasalan mo yung mahal mo hindi yung praktikal o yung pinipilit ng magulang mo.

Btw, 22s yan, malaki kaha e, baka bitin ang 20.

Regarding the timeless design: yeah its timeless. Looks better than a Cayenne if you ask me.

Ano727 --- if you can, add the fog lamps and 20" mags (im sure there are many of those being sold 2nd hand). Roof Rail too !!!!!! No one will be able to tell the difference between yours and an AWD if you do.

*EQAddict - I like your suggestion. Would you know where I can get the foglamps for 2013 CX9? No stock sa casa and it's expensive pa. Mags, later pa siguro. Roof rail baka di na kailangan. Ok na sya without one.

Thanks.

Nice analogy.

Merry Christmas din!

By the way, just to share, am getting better than 5km per liter with my CX9 at an average speed of 13kph, dahil medyo traffic sa mga dinaanan ko especially along Shaw and Ramon Magsaysay as well as around Ortigas CBD. On board computer shows 19.2 liters per 100km (~5.2 km per liter). Not bad!

This means I can still get to 6km per liter pag walang traffic within the city. This is encouraging result so far! Test ko later sa highway.

You have 4x4 right, so that might also be a factor. Mine is just 4x2. Reviews in US also mentions a slight difference in fc, with 4x2 having slightly better fuel efficiency.

So bili na! Hehehe!

New price according to whom?

Can you pls share which dealer/SA is offering this deal as my friend is also considering to get a CX9.

Thanks.

Love Abog from Mazda Makati, I'm told. Not sure what the exact deal was, but that extra discount was sweet enough.

Hirap lang daw itext, baka makita ni Misis, "Hi Love..."
