    Strange thing at Mazda dealer: Tire rotation

    That's for people prioritizing acceleration vs braking :) In general braking should be more important

    CX-5 almost rear-biased

    Sure, I'd take a RWD on winter tires vs AWD on summer ones any winter day. I'm just not so sure whether I'd take all season AWD vs FWD CX5 on a winter day :) I drove FWD CX5 for 4 years / 40k on Toyo A23 and never experienced this kind of behavior. I think the nail must've played a role, it's...

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    I hope Mazda is going to surprise everyone rolling out an unexpectedly different car. Just in case it doesn't, just wondering, have there been other examples in automotive industry when the same car would be marketed as two different models depending on 2 vs 3 rows configuration?

    In Mazda marketer minds Parchment means slow I bought the last '21 Turbo that was still available in Parchment

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    Did you have any 0-60 predictions? If it's just 200lb lighter vs CX-90 it's not going to be much faster, probably it will be very similar to CX-5 turbo?

    Did you really expect CX-70 inline six to be a hybrid?

    CX-70 delayed to next year

    I'm pretty sure BMW is not offering that option for over 10 years for X5 out of stupidity, at the minimum it allows them to get to the 7-seater listings like this one - https://www.caranddriver.com/rankings/best-suvs/7-seater I honestly didn't know anything about the size of the seats they...

    CX-70 delayed to next year

    well it's the way you compare... 3 row and 2 row cars are separate categories in my mind, but I agree - length is definitely a factor

    CX-5 almost rear-biased

    Thanks, all excellent questions that I'm still trying to answer myself. I agree the speed was too fast, I merged into that hwy, saw lights approaching from the rear, and pushed the gas. After my maneuver the lights receded. Sorry I'm not sure how exactly tires skid :) Everything happened in 5...

    Just Purchased a 2024 CX-5 Carbon Turbo! Questions!

    That most probably means they got new hardware, that's capable of sending nav directions from phones to hud... I guess no luck for pre-2024 CX5 guys, unless we replace the whole infotainment unit

    CX-5 almost rear-biased

    LSD works on a single axle, while my issue was that the power was transferred to the rear. That would be center differential's job, which CX5 also lacks, but even if it had it - more power to the rear would do the same thing, probably? I think what could've potentially fixed that situation would...

    CX-5 almost rear-biased

    '21 GTR and it was a snow storm yesterday. Won't go into having to press rear defogger button (which in some other cars is more appropriately called defroster and is not combined with side mirror defroster) every 15 minutes (was driving for 3 hours) and constant icing of windshield wipers...
