At its current price point the CX-5 is hard to beat. Although, if it’s moving up market it’ll need a transmission with similar characteristics to that of the ZF transmission in BMW’s. The Mazda’s tranny feels like a Buick compared to the ZF.

Can anyone read the tire size? Looks like at least 20’s. Curious about the width, too.

I use 93 octane consistently. Can’t speak to the effects of <20 with lower octane.

There’s nothing on their website for the 2.5t.

I’m nursing a thumb injury on my dominant hand. As soon as I can grip I’ll get under the hood.

Heat soak only works for the first launch in the CX-5, and then it goes back to a boostless 1st and 2nd gear. It’s all about the ambient temp. Engine and tranny temps don’t seem to play a part in it. I was asking because Burger Motorsports is using a Mazda 3 turbo to develop their tune for all...
