First, every Mazda press car I get comes with the ability to relay my text messages to me. The way it works, from my experience, is that I get a text from my mom. The Mazda, entirely on its own, then picks a random contact and tells me I have a text from them. When I click read, it says its unable to retrieve the message. Then, it marks the text as read on my phone. That leads to me forgetting to respond later.
The infotainment screen is also mounted in a way that it reflects in the windshield at night, shining a moving picture of a navigation screen brightly in your eyes when you’re trying to drive. Speaking of which, at one point the car insisted it didn’t have a navigation system. It told me I had to buy one at the dealer. “Ah,” I said, pointing at the window sticker line item, “it says right here that the car already has it.” But the car wasn’t in the mood to negotiate, so I restarted the CX-9 and its directional ability spontaneously reappeared.
