Very good news when every model years sees another sedan/coupe sunset. RIP S60 and RC350 for 2026.

Nope. Want to start one?

Significant repairs?

That's on my DO NOT WANT list. I HATE that feature. LOL Press the button...and waaaaaaaait..... Have it on my sedan but it only unlocks it and pops it up a bit. You have to manually close it. I like that.

Sunroof. Literally haven't had a car without one in 30 years... lol

I am a big believer in long life tranny fluids. Not lifetime, of course not. I love how you say he "claims his transmission is in good shape"... I'm sure he knows. I personally know many examples of very old tranny fluids and I've seen countless examples online. Here's the thing about tranny...

I know we like to bash dealerships here...and pretty much every car forum...but to say "No dealer can be trusted with a tranny flush" is a bit much. I would trust my dealer to do this.

Same. as going to buy some steel wheels from Tirerack. They wanted $79 each for new 17's. For an extra $80 I bought a set of black rims that they were trying to get rid of. Checked after I bought them and they had 2 left. So I got the last complete set.

No..it wouldn't hurt. But it didn't help either. :D

I clean my engine bay every year on all my cars. I use nothing more then water and some brushes. Might take a bit longer, but I enjoy it. Haven't done Betty the Mazda yet, but soon.

Bought one of those years ago. Used it one time. lol

First time I've had a car from 0 - 80085. Total cost of repairs since 2016: $800

It is first and foremost a discussion forum, and I am not telling anyone "what to do". Nor did I say it was BAD. I said overkill. And I stand by that. ;)

I am, hands down, the first person to give someone a hard time when I hear "I like to baby my car..."...I have a friend that literally tries to keep his RPMs under 2K...seriously... The first one to tell anyone who thinks a CX5 is 'slow', that they aren't driving it right if they aren't...

Are you thinking of me? I posted a snippet (post #25) from the online manual for a 22. IME the "Detent" is the kick down and agree it only triggers the transmission to downshift. Just like every other 4 cylinder I've owned.

That sounds to me like you are saying there is no kickdown. Happy to be wrong...we can move on. lol

That is KICKDOWN. From the 2022 CX5 Manual. So unless somethings changed...since 2022, Y'all have kickdown.

My Volvo also has no switch but still supports Kickdown. It knows when you kick it past full throttle as explained in the manual.
