I purchased a certified preowned CX-70 turbo S premium and it’s got plenty of oomph. While the car was in the shop getting the oil change and the TSB for the instrument cluster, they gave me a CX-90 PHEV. With my left foot, I found that they both average around 24 miles to a gallon. The CX 70...

I had the digital review camera in the rearview mirror. I found it super useful because of the window tint I had. The car was totaled, but I loved the CX 70 so I purchased a new/certified preowned one. That did not include the rear view Camera/mirror. I was quoted over $1000 for the parts &...

Yeah. Freak iPhone voice text sucks. Lol I’ll modify my last post.

Congrats on the new CX-70! I came close to the PHEV except I live in an apartment. Also, it was kind of tempting to get the higher output CX-70 even though it requires 93 octane gas.

I would prefer Apple CarPlay over Alexa any day. I’m sure they could add the functionality with Apple CarPlay to adjust the temperature as well as other features.

Deeper cupholders in front. Find that my coffee tends to spill. Also a larger glove compartment and center console!

When I take my cx-70 in for maintenance or a recall, I will ask them about the flash update for the transmission.

as mentioned, lower the tire pressure slightly, that should help with cornering and hard launches. Unfortunately it will cause the tread to wear faster. Also, you can GO with smaller rims Which would help with acceleration and stopping distance. I’m planning to upgrade to 18” light weight rims...

In order to adjust the digital rear mirror, you need to press the button right and then use the two left buttons to raise or lower the view of the review camera.

Fit perfectly. Although it doesn’t cover the two cubbies at the rear on the left and the right.

Makes sense to not be necessary on new cars where they are able to reach certain tolerances but I’ve worked in a mechanic shop for built motors. They Always used some special oil to help break in motors for first 500-1000 miles. Metals during break in period just seem to flake/shear during first...

I just ordered the Weather Tech. It’s a cargo mat and the bumper guard as well. Speak to Dan the salesman and he was awesome and willing to give me free shipping.

Yes, for most commuter cars you want to use regular/synthetic oil. Most come with a special break in oil from factory meant to help break in the parts. Which is why they typically recommend 500 to 1000 miles before the first oil change. New Chevy Corvettes, as well as other high-end supercars...

My car only has 1400 miles so I’m hoping once I put some more miles on it I’ll get better gas mileage. And yes, I use cruise control as much as possible.

Just got a recall notice for my CX-70. Something to do with the dashboard and lights thankfully I’m not experiencing any of this, but don’t be surprised when more letters come out.
