I still hook the strap under the tow bar, but also use zip ties to hold the cross bar of the bike rack to the tow bar to prevent it from turning as you corner with bikes on board. Hope this makes sense and helps.

We bought a seven seater back in 2009 and it came with a cargo cover.

I have the same bike carrier and therefore the same problem. I have been hooking the strap under to tow bar and pulling the carrier back towards the rear of the vehicle as much as I can. Not ideal but it takes some of the load off the carrier.

Hello everyone,

I am look for buying a 7 seat car. In my situation, My most consideration is the third row comfortable. Does anyone compare these two car before? Any suggestion will welcome.

Thanks

My boys have been in the third row seats of a CX-9 before and say that our Kluger seats are more comfortable. They are easy to setup and put down. My only dislike is not being able to have a split fold third row seat.

My partner is looking at buying a Mazda3 and Graphite is her preferred colour.

For those of you with Graphite, how do you find it looks after a while. Does it hide dirt, swirls and scratches well? Does it get hot like black?

We have a graphite Kluger and find, like most dark coloured vehicles, it does not hide the dirt etc. well, but the colour looks great so we are happy. The car does get hot but the air con works great so all is good.
