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.

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.

My driving experience with the CX 70 in-line six high output version. The vehicle is very heavy. I’m coming from a CX five. The power in the CX 70 is adequate can’t wait to put a tune on it. And definitely want to go down to 18 inch rims to get that extra power and better breaking due to less...

Synthetic oil is the best for turbos. I don’t care what the dealer says. They have a higher tolerance and I’ve always had good success running full synthetic and having cars that last long, especially considering I beat the hell out of them. The reason they use synthetic blend is to try and save...
