Err, no it isn't. The CX50 Hybrid is 200lbs heavier than the turbo. And given the hybrid's Toyota drivetrain only gives a combined output of 219 hp, 163 lb-ft, vs. the turbo's 256 hp, 320 lb-ft., I'm surprised that the 0-60 time of the turbo is only 1.2 secs faster.

How long between drives? Sounds like your tires are flat-spotting while the car is parked. Check your tire pressures too.

I know this reply is a bit Apples-Oranges, but I got a tempered glass one for my CX-50. It has a hydrophilic coating that reduces the visibility of fingerprints - though doesn't remove them completely - but it's very easy to clean with a couple of wipes of a microfiber cloth, and I'm very...

Really? Does it keep them off even while moving? That would be great to know. Oh and does it keep them off at nighttime too?

That's for Gen1 cars. Poster has a 2021 Gen 2. There's no way to turn off the headlights while moving in a Gen2.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority (unfortunately). I like my dealer and the service dept. Plus, their basic service charges are reasonable. For ~$70 (synthetic) or $55 (dino) oil changes, they also do a full tire/brake/suspension/filter check, including a video of same. So not much more (if...

Yes, probably true. But if you DO have a big issue, the dealer is more likely to go to bat for you if you are a regular customer.

Apparently only on the higher trims, right?

For your edification and amusement:

I wish my Mazda dealer would do the same!

Why would the wireless charger have any connection to iStop? The Mazda (and some other brands) wireless chargers seem to be prone to overheating. That's why they turn off. It's weird that they don't! My CX-50 has the seat and mirror positions tied to the keyfob(s), but you do have to program...

Search for "Ghost touch" in the forums. You'll find plenty of info. There was a class-action suit and Mazda has extended the warranty for 2 more years to replace the screen. You'll need to go to your dealer.

Trouble is that none of the older cars, and none of the newer lower to mid trims will have a HUD
