Does anyone on this forum actually have the 2018 model with cylinder deactivation yet?

From what I understand, the driver won’t know if it’s on or off. It’s supposed to be seamless.
It would be nice if Mazda’s instrument TFT display actually showed if CD is engaged or operational.
I think Mazda6 I-ELOOP Brake battery regen show some kind of graphic on the MZD display.

All 2018's have it and quite a few forum members have 2018's. If there are any issues with CD, it probably won't show up until 10,000 miles or more.
Per another forum:
I have a 2007 chevy Z71 1500 with 5.3 V8. I was wondering if there was any way to bypass cylinder deactivation to leave engine in 8 cylinder mode. I recently replaced # 7 cylinder lifters due to lifters not getting oil in 4 cylinder mode. I can see this will be an ongoing problem and can not afford $3,500.00 dollar shop bills. Thanks for any help
My cousin had 3 top end rebuilds done before 100k miles on his 07' 5.3. Dealer told him it was all directly related to AFM. Best friend had his 08' sierra burn 1 qt every 1000 miles after he hit 90k... Same story.. Both trucks were commuters with occasional boat towing. Its a bad system I dont know why they keep using it.

The potential issue is that some people don't want to take the risk of potential problems with Mazda's CD. There might be ZERO issues with Mazda's system but some people don't want to roll the dice...
Everything has problems doesn't mean they are faultyI've read posts of I-loop problems. (dance)

There may have been some problems with i-Eloop, but as far as I'm aware there's nothing fundamentally flawed or challenging about the technology.
A better question is whether the gains are worth the extra weight, complexity, and expense. I'm a little put off by the use of a costly deep cycle lead-acid battery.
So much depends on how the owner has maintained and driven the vehicle. Some things are assumed to be okay. Ex: a person I knew with a rav 4 drove through deep water during a flood event but never thought to change the diff fluids. A year or so later her awd system choked and the repair was costly. She blamed Toyota but knowing about the drive through the water, I suspected otherwise.
That happened to a dude here on his cx-5 too.
