    Impressions of the CX-50

    Not sure this MT review has been posted yet, but I was surprised at the amount of criticisms. I'd come to love the looks, sounds like it handles great (I like that despite it being a crossover), I don't mind the big dimensions vs small cargo compromises, but the review really doesn't hold back...

    Mazda Announces Pricing and Packaging for 2023 CX-50

    Is it just me, or are they saying 3 people ok sleeping on top? Did they mean on the roof?

    New love for Auto Folding Mirrors

    Yup, and I'm the type that will need to check 3 hrs later, so now it's just visual. I also have a narrow garage, so that few inches of room helps. Dreading the day they possibly jam.

    Poll Based on looks alone - CX-50 or CX-5

    I sort of feel the same way, if a second car. I voted CX5 but then changed to 50. It's close for me. But then I read the OPs post again, and just on looks, if it's the version with the slim spoke wheels and a darker colour to hide the cladding a bit such as the blue one being posted in this...

    CX-5 vs CX-50 suspension

    Few yrs back, was considering a Mazda 6 but was unsure. Before second test drive, warned him I'm having doubts specifically around cornering and needed to push it to be sure. He had no problem, unfortunately needed to sit in back as my wife was with me. I pushed it hard, he very nicely sat in...

    Mazda CX-50 announced

    I find the vent in the dash odd, maybe it's the pic angle but it being off centre might seem odd. Small thing but it had me looking at the pic for a few secs. I'd usually prefer my vehicles pretty rather than rugged, but having said that, nothing for me here is offensive or a deal breaker...

    2016 CX-9 GT reverse lights question

    Quoting myself for no reason other than to say I remember a time, pre March 2020, when my problems included light brightness and not Covid! Sort of sad to think back. FWIW, never did replace my own lights but don't go anywhere so meh...

    Why does Mazda insist on using black plastic?

    It's a funny thing, the cladding. Eye of the beholder obviously, but sometimes with certain colours I'd agree it's no big deal. Have grey myself, as others do, and I'm fine with it. Some vehicles, such as the new RAV, no matter the colour, the cladding just seems too dominant. Heck, I've seen...

    Off Topic What are ya listening to?

    I'll offer a slightly different take on this. I don't know why, but I've always found it neat to listen to radio stations from abroad. Not internet ones, the online Listen Live feature of terrestrial radio. Kost fm out of LA for couple weeks has been a recent one. Just basic adult comtem stuff...

    Park CX-9 in garage?

    Mattamy is a big builder here in Ontario (in some states too I think) and they have done under 18 ft wide.

    How you doing?

    A lot of people are asking is it sustainable. But the gov and the banks don't dare step in (perhaps shouldn't, I'm no expert on interest rates or property taxes etc.). But ya, if I were to go to a bbq (I will again please tell me) and someone said they have a 7-800k mortgage, not many would bat...

    How you doing?

    Ya the kids here are just gonna need to accept life in a townhouse or condo. Forget the better areas in Toronto proper, here's an example of what one gets if they are willing to commute over and hour each way downtown. And this wouldn't even be considered a prime area of this suburb. At...

    How you doing?

    This reminds me of something been discussing with wife recently. Not directly related, but it's interesting being in the Toronto "bubble" how often we have immediate access to white collar middle management and up job prospects. Companies for the most part have HQ here. Im generalizing...

    How you doing?

    Were doing it very diff up here. We don't have the supply the US does, or didn't until recently. US leads the way here, we just didn't have the market power to buy/get as many doses going in the winter. Our regulators have decided to get as many people with one shot as possible before doing...

    Park CX-9 in garage?

    Look at that frontage! Nice. They don't make them like that anymore, least not in the Toronto area. New builds here are now at times under 30 ft frontage for detached home. 50 ft is luxury. Width of my lot is the garage (detached from the house in the back, 2 car single door) plus a parking pad...

    Just an FYI for the Canucks, it's a 6 mos interval for CX9.

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    The Clek is a big one. It's one time being vertically challenged helped...I can fit that 40 lb beast behind my seat in a CX9 and a CRV. It has a neat Canada/Magna connection too: https://inertiaengineering.com/clek-case-study/

    2019 VS 2021 Interior Color Changes

    I prefer the tan armrest. Door, I could go either. I think both look great. But you are the one who needs to live with it.

    Engine Starts on its own!

    One other troubleshoot...leave it on. A remote start should go off on it's own after 10 min or something.
