I’ve tried every combination of everything and the only thing that tricks it below 20 degrees is heat soak, which is only good for the first launch. I’ve adjusted my driving habits when pulling out into traffic. Not as much of an issue with highway on ramps as I just put in 3rd so it doesn’t...

I messaged Terry from Burger Motorsports to see if he’s come across anything so far. I agree that Mazda intentionally cut boost in 1st and 2nd below 20 degrees, but I’m willing to mess around with it when the JB4 gets released. The complete drop off at 20 degrees just doesn’t make sense. It...

Cerps, I bought the CX-5 turbo knowing it could be an issue a couple months out of the year. I’m hoping the upcoming tune from Burger Motorsports will take care of it. Either way, I’d still pick the CX-5 turbo 10 times out of 10 when shopping this price point.

I’m also experiencing this and it is absolutely not the transmission. It’s like a switch at the 20 degree Fahrenheit mark. My commute has mild elevation changes and on the right days the ambient temp will go back and forth multiple times across the 20 degree mark, and the boost follows it. If I...

Nope. It’s solely dependent on that 20 degree threshold. Regardless of all other factors.

Have you noticed any power loss below 20 degrees Fahrenheit? The 2.5T in the CX-5’s seem to consistently cut power in 1st and 2nd gear when the temp drops below 20. It happens regardless of traction or precipitation. It’s very noticeable. It sounds and feels as if the 2.5 from my ‘14 got swapped...

How many miles did you get out of your Toyos before replacing?

The Mark Levinson system, which I’m sure sounds great, is part of a $3,045 package on the Lexus. A Lexus that costs $9k more than the comparably equipped and better performing CX-5 Signature.

Etrailer, Curt, and a good U-Haul location all the way. I’m very particular about quality of craftsmanship, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The OEM hitch placement creates too much opportunity for error. One wrong move and your bumper is F’d. Also, there’s no going back to stock with...

That turboed 3.0L inline-6 with 48v mild hybrid system screams “bargain BMW”. I’d be very interested in whichever Mazda CUV that ends up in.

Buddy, I appreciate your need for wanting to slice and dice numbers. I really do. But this just isn't worth our time.

I'm assuming you're looking at an Eternal Blue Mica? Those are few and far between. When I bought mine earlier this month there were only 4 in the country. Mine is similarly equipped, minus the hitch. I paid $34,800 before TTL. That included the Mazda Loyalty and the 0% deal. If you're not picky...

If it's expected, then why is Mazda the only car in its class with this level of content/fit/finish/driving dynamics. The year was 2013, 2020 minus 7 equals 2013. I was comparing my sale price in 2013 vs 2020, and based on an inflation calculator, the difference was $75. Simple as that. Those...

As I was getting ready to sell my '14 CX-5 GT I was going through my maintenance records and found the original bill of sale. After factoring in 7 years of inflation, I only spent $75 more for my '20 Signature. The value we're getting in these new CX-5's is nothing short of amazing.

I took some technical writing courses in college. Those Haynes manuals really spoke to me in the 90's.

It's felt like Christmas shipping season ever since March. I field a fair amount of light complaining, but I remind them that plenty of work is a good problem to have right now.
