    Why get AWD?

    They can make a difference and help you accellerate in poor conditions, but you can't call it a safety advantage on par with ABS.

    Why get AWD?

    Yes, that do happen but I've still not needed AWD to help me. I can't think of a single time during my 22 years of driving, where AWD would have helped me accellerate and saved me, compared with my FWD cars. And no way near enough times compared to other people pulling out in front of me (by...

    Why get AWD?

    You need ABS for emergencies. Ans as emergencies usually happens when You don't expect it, that's not really a valid argument.......maybe You can see into the future, but I can't.

    Why get AWD?

    We get plenty of rain here and I've never needed AWD when driving. I tend not to agreesive cornering when it's very wet, since You can easily skip of the road even with AWD (and You still need the good tires I mentioned). ABS helps during emergency braking (which can happen to everybody) even in...

    Why get AWD?

    Personally I don't see any really safety advantage with AWD if You drive on normal roads and drive normally. Good tires are much more important as well as controlling the throttle. Remember AWD doesn't help the car to stay on the road during braking and cornering (which many people driving with...

    infotainment questions

    !. Use the controller knob between the seats to zoom in and out. I never use the touchscreen in my CX-3, even when stationary. 2. Can't help, sorry.

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    On the 31st May I'll see if they do here as well :-) My CX-3 only has the drivers side window control lit (and only the one for that window, not for the other three) and the mirror controls aren't lit either.

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    That's my point. Many cars have them; cheap and expensive and so should the Mazdas (all of them).

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    Lit up window and mirror controls isn't premium. Even the Fiat Punto has them and that's cheaper than a Mazda 2. It's not a show stopper for me, but I am missing them on my CX-3. All my previous cars had lit up window controls, even my 1992 Fiat Tipo (and that's wasn't even close to being a...

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    I have the same system in my CX-3 and I can enter an address while driving using the controller knob, so I would think You can do the same in the CX-5.

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    Agree, and it's also used in the CX-3, the 2 and the MX-5 RF.

    Well this time, looks like its for real guys

    Totally agree :-) Or use the fact that about 50% of all cars sold in Europe are turbo diesels and has been for the last 15-20 years. And I've heard of no serious problem with these turbos, I've even owned a few my self. Turbo chargers made today are very reliable, not at all like those made back...

    2017 CX-5 owners with LED fogs .... how bright and effective are they ?

    Actually I've read they have improved the ALH version of LED headlights. It should now have 12 seperate LEDs for highbeam on each side (I think it was 4 on the previous CX-5) plus the side LEDs widening the light for slow driving (under 40 km/h) which is also on the old CX-5 with ALH. The fogs...

    Care to predict new features lineup for 2018+ CX-5?

    VW uses it on the 1.4 TSI and Ford are planning on introducing it on the 3 cylinder 1.0 ecoboost engine in 2018. So not totally unheard of ☺

    Care to predict new features lineup for 2018+ CX-5?

    I have no idea, but they must have been told something since they both appear to have been at the same test drive in Italy.

    Care to predict new features lineup for 2018+ CX-5?

    Several Danish car magazines says there will be an updated 2.5 petrol with cylinder deactivation, coming this fall. How the specs are, I have no idea and I haven't been able to find anything on it except the car magazines articles. But they where all at the same test drive in Italy, so I'm...
