The way Mazda sets up the unlock is that when you press the unlock on the hatch, nothing else unlocks. I don't believe there is a way to change that. I would personally prefer it to unlock everything when you unlock the hatch as usually I have at least one person waiting to get in the vehicle...

My Odyssey has that as well. I turned off the automatic feature of it as I didn't need it to come on when I was making a right turn and I wanted to know if anything was in my blindspot before signalling and scaring the car I was passing so I just hit the button to manually turn it on and off...

I believe all the new BSM systems on Mazdas are like this. My CX-3 reacts the same way, however, if the car I am passing speeds up, the BSM is triggered. The 2013 CX-5 I owned previously would always come on when passing a vehicle, but it would also come on when passing guard rails, signs and...

Definitely great videography, but honestly, the most boring reviewer I have ever experienced. Great info and honesty in the review, making sure to point out the good and bad, but it's a good thing I watched this in the morning after a good night's sleep. Otherwise, it would be a great way to...

Gradual braking can actually cause the rotors to heat up more, making them more susceptible to warping, especially depending on how gradual the braking is. I don't think having the system engage like it is will hurt the brakes, just annoy the owner, and anyone following.

Should be thinking of it more as the CX-9 having a turbocharged and differently tuned version of the Mazda 6 engine (and 3, CX-5 while we're at it).

A salesman told me that cars can go up to 100km (60 miles) when the range indicator reaches 0. I never tested that theory fully, but did hit 0 on a 2012 Mazda 5 I owned and drove another 25km (15 miles). That was the most I wanted to push it with the entire family in the vehicle, knowing they'd...

No vehicle made today runs out of gas when the range indicator reaches 0. Most can do another 50 or 60 miles, sometimes more, so another 2 or 3 gallons approximately. 40 miles to go, that's another 2 gallons there. That puts us to a total of 17.2-18.2 gallons. And since this is all estimation...

Traded a 2013 CX-5 for a 2016 CX-3. I noticed the same difference. I'm guessing they assume you will look to make sure you have cleared the car you are passing with the ABSM. Not sure what the newer ones are like but our old CX-5 would light up when driving past guard rails and stuff. I think...

Looks like a win for the CX-3 http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/cx-3-4-door-suv/2016

All depends on needs/wants. Owned a 2013 CX-5 and now own a 2016 CX-3. My observations in comparing the 2: CX-3 Pros: 1. Fun to drive 2. Great maneuverability in town, parking lots 3. Slightly better mpg that is easier to attain 4. Looks great inside and out Cons: 1. Space. Cramped rear...

I used to own a 5 but had to upsize to an Odyssey when the kids wouldn't stop growing. We took six of us from Canada to Florida (with a cargo box obviously) and it worked. Kids were pre-teen/early teen at the time. I have a friend who is about 6'2 and fairly husky. He was impressed with the room...

I haven't noticed an issue of delay when it comes to the nav system, but I'm with you on the cumbersome searching when driving. I also haven't spent a lot of time using it to see if there are tricks to get it to do what you want while driving. Usually if I'm searching for something, it's not in...

I've debated the armrest. There's times when I think I'd like to have it and other times when I think I'm alright not having it.

Looks like it's currently only available as an option for your smartphone with a yearly subscription after the first year. Has a bunch of other features as well with the mobile app but it's $65 a year plus the price of the feature itself.

I'm not sure I'd trust the salesman either about available models. The dealer I was at a week ago had a GS-L model, which is basically the one up from base in Canada. No mark-up on it either. We didn't get into any negotiating as I was up front on saying I wasn't purchasing now but looking for...

And it comes with a heated steering wheel, which apparently isn't even available in the US.

The ratings had nothing to do with Mazda playing a numbers game. MPG in Canada is listed as higher because of using the British Gallon measurement. Also in 2015, the Canadian Government changed the testing criteria for the government fuel economy ratings to closer reflect real-world driving...

Didn't notice the hood as much but kept that in the back of my mind as I was taking it for a test run. Might notice it more with more time behind the wheel. Slightly disappointed with the dash material on non-Signature models. Same material as on the dash of the CX-5, which seems to collect and...

The Pathfinder may beat it to 60 by 0.2 seconds at most, but only as long as the transmission holds out. Just do a search of failures on those CVT transmissions. All the reviews I see are estimating 7-7.5 second range to 60, which is right around where the Pathfinder is, except without that...
