You didn't mention but I'm guessing they are 16" alloys and ~245 width tires. That could be about right. The 3" of wheel diameter makes a big difference in weight.

Are you sure about the weight numbers of that truck wheel/tire assembly? I had a 2013 LX 570 with forged TRD 17" aluminum wheels that were 24 pounds (much lighter than the stock 20s) and an LT285/70/17 tire that weighed 52 pounds for a total of 76 pounds. Is it an LT/10ply tire? 52 pound...

In 2019 when I bought the car, the CR-V and its CVT were literally hard to listen to when accelerating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ocjM2eLylA Now with the fake shifts, it's still terrible, but slightly less so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hekHhTwk0Nc

Check out these reviews of a few competitors, may be helpful. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/consumer-reports-new-car-issue-2024.123880557/ The Outback is probably the strongest competitor, but with a CVT, the NA engine acceleration is joyless and slow (even when brake torqued) so it would be a...

Turbo badging wasn't added until 21 so no worries there. With the weird behavior of that one you drove, I'd look to drive another. I test drove a CX-5 three different times before buying because I wanted to be sure. Happy with the car.

Could have asked hard questions or interesting questions, but asked neither.

Thanks for link. Becky's questions are weak. Too much time wasted by the interviewer on Baltimore port, with predictable answers (there are 10 other major deep water ports on the East Coast, it's not as if cars suddenly can't get into the United States). Should have had someone with some actual...

Funny enough, I made a similar observation when I saw them - I think it's a less original design, but they still look good and overall, the design and body style is about 95% the same. I do prefer the previous headlights/taillights and grille design, but since they are so similar, I'd be happy...

Also, you can add extra insulation for very little cost. The 2017+ gen is already one of the quietest vehicles in its class from the factory with its underbody panels, felt coated wheel wells, double door seals, and laminated windshield and front windows. I added some extra insulation in the...

I believe your assessments. I will say, the 2nd gen projector LED headlights are great and very bright - they're just aimed too low. Aimed slightly higher they have excellent performance. With the stock aim, you can see hundreds of feet down the road with low beams, but only on a level or...

It's a tight fit, done it with an ebike. Have to fold the handlebars down. It weighs almost 90 lbs without the batteries so it's a pain to lift in and out.

https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/mazda-tracking-owners.123878315/#post-6765847 The spyware module is only on 2021 or newer CX-5s. So if you are in the market for a used CX-5, then you can get a 2nd gen from 2017 to 2020 model years. See the discussion here, removing the TCU apparently breaks the...

Haha. I disagree. Way quicker to quickly press a button. Way more distracting to fumble around with a knob and control it indirectly. Especially with Carplay. The knob is serviceable but I would rather use a touchscreen.

Nope, it is/was an intentional and idiotic decision. They switched to a slightly larger non touch screen for the 21 to 23 models, which is still a downgrade from a usable touchscreen in my opinion, and finally went along with all the other carmakers on this issue with the current model year...

Whoever at Mazda thought it would be a good idea to build in the expense of a touchscreen and then not let you use it deserves a swift kick in the nuts.

The 23 does not have a touchscreen, it was only added for 2024 model year. Mazda used to include a touchscreen from 2017 to 2020, but it has an idiotic, and I mean IDIOTIC, motion lockout. Especially when using Carplay or Android Auto which are designed to be used with touchscreens. Completely...

This used to be my expectation, but most factory warranties do transfer to the secondary owners. https://www.google.com/search?q=does+powertrain+warranty+cover+second+owner...

It's an improvement, but I still like "Complaints Department" better.

I think it was a joke. Anyways, lots of complaints over at the top 2 competitors' forums. https://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/gen-5-cr-v-2017-2022-uk-2018-2023.137/ https://www.rav4world.com/forums/4-5-general.197/

Can we change the title of the thread to "Complaints Department"? @Antoine
