Right on Lazy. PS and for the record, my 330 HP Volvo sedan has a kickdown feature too, though it is now electronic (no switch). I'm assuming your turbo Mazdas still have it, as well. Most 4 cylinder cars do. Those of you unfamiliar...should try it out. :D

People like to hate on the NA because it's not quick. These are probably the same people that like to "baby " their car. There's a reason my car has a kickdown switch on the FLOOR under the gas pedal. Of course my supercharged 330 HP sedan is WAY faster...but my NA Mazda can still be fun to...

A someone that has been using 2 fobs since 2016...I can tell you: it's really not the big of a deal. The Remote start fob is about the size of a quarter. At least mine is.

I saw this posted somewhere else and the anti-EV crowd were touting it as "See! EVs aren't all that! Mazdas doing great without one"...as if the reason they were doing well is because they don't have an EV. Ridiculous.

Totally get running folding mirrors only when you need to fold them. But not because they might break. Simply because you can. I rarely NEED mine to fold (on my other car). Not using a feature, or turning one off because of failure concerns is what I have an issue with. Use your car. Why save...

"I'm not going to use this feature because I don't want the thing to break"... Headlight cooling fan death isn't so common that you need to turn all this off. Girl I work with won't use her folding mirrors on her BMW... "I'm afraid they might break." Sooo, turn it off if one breaks then? :D

Damn Goblins! (I assume you mean Ghost Touches...I think that was an issue over a few years, no?)

Just get a 17. Best of the CX5's IMO. Basically the reliable 16 + the new tech of the next gen - CDA = THE CX5. :D

Pandora was absolutely better at finding new music for me.

"Just do it yourself!" So tired of that every single time. hahaha Yea, we know it's SO easy... I have zero desire to do that. Many of us simply aren't going to do it ourselves. Why are you at a dealer?

I mean...it was 5 years ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Yea...I don't use Pandora anymore. Solidly into Spotify.

It's $500 at a dealer.

Of course. I'm not saying otherwise. 🍻

You quote my post about "Car companies figured out how to do start/stop without damaging a turbo" and agreed with me. Then say you are glad you don't have it...so your turbo will last longer? 30-90 seconds sitting at a light is not damaging any part of your car. This is not a "heating cooling...

Car companies long ago figured out how to make this work without damaging your turbos. 60 seconds at a light isn't going to cause any damage.

It's called "AUTO HOLD".

Then people would b**** about that: Why do I have to hold the button for 3 seconds!!! lol No pleasing everyone.

Not sure why you quoted me Moonlighter? I am very familiar with them. In fact I thought my car had them when I bought it because of that very video from Mazda Aus. That was 2016. We still don't have it here. :(

Just an FYI. I have a copy of the Consumer Reports (Sept 2024) used car buying guide. Under the section "MOST RELIABLE CARS FOR UNDER $15K. Of course: 2016 CX5.

I know what those marks are on the headliner. They are from bike tires. People hauling bikes in the back. Ask me HOW I know. :D Also someone said NO to plugs? Uh...pretty sure Mazda says plugs every 70K?
