I am, hands down, the first person to give someone a hard time when I hear "I like to baby my car..."...I have a friend that literally tries to keep his RPMs under 2K...seriously... The first one to tell anyone who thinks a CX5 is 'slow', that they aren't driving it right if they aren't...

Are you thinking of me? I posted a snippet (post #25) from the online manual for a 22. IME the "Detent" is the kick down and agree it only triggers the transmission to downshift. Just like every other 4 cylinder I've owned.

That sounds to me like you are saying there is no kickdown. Happy to be wrong...we can move on. lol

That is KICKDOWN. From the 2022 CX5 Manual. So unless somethings changed...since 2022, Y'all have kickdown.

My Volvo also has no switch but still supports Kickdown. It knows when you kick it past full throttle as explained in the manual.

Right on Lazy. PS and for the record, my 330 HP Volvo sedan has a kickdown feature too, though it is now electronic (no switch). I'm assuming your turbo Mazdas still have it, as well. Most 4 cylinder cars do. Those of you unfamiliar...should try it out. :D

People like to hate on the NA because it's not quick. These are probably the same people that like to "baby " their car. There's a reason my car has a kickdown switch on the FLOOR under the gas pedal. Of course my supercharged 330 HP sedan is WAY faster...but my NA Mazda can still be fun to...

A someone that has been using 2 fobs since 2016...I can tell you: it's really not the big of a deal. The Remote start fob is about the size of a quarter. At least mine is.

I saw this posted somewhere else and the anti-EV crowd were touting it as "See! EVs aren't all that! Mazdas doing great without one"...as if the reason they were doing well is because they don't have an EV. Ridiculous.

Totally get running folding mirrors only when you need to fold them. But not because they might break. Simply because you can. I rarely NEED mine to fold (on my other car). Not using a feature, or turning one off because of failure concerns is what I have an issue with. Use your car. Why save...

"I'm not going to use this feature because I don't want the thing to break"... Headlight cooling fan death isn't so common that you need to turn all this off. Girl I work with won't use her folding mirrors on her BMW... "I'm afraid they might break." Sooo, turn it off if one breaks then? :D

Damn Goblins! (I assume you mean Ghost Touches...I think that was an issue over a few years, no?)

Just get a 17. Best of the CX5's IMO. Basically the reliable 16 + the new tech of the next gen - CDA = THE CX5. :D

Pandora was absolutely better at finding new music for me.

"Just do it yourself!" So tired of that every single time. hahaha Yea, we know it's SO easy... I have zero desire to do that. Many of us simply aren't going to do it ourselves. Why are you at a dealer?

I mean...it was 5 years ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Yea...I don't use Pandora anymore. Solidly into Spotify.

It's $500 at a dealer.

Of course. I'm not saying otherwise. 🍻

You quote my post about "Car companies figured out how to do start/stop without damaging a turbo" and agreed with me. Then say you are glad you don't have it...so your turbo will last longer? 30-90 seconds sitting at a light is not damaging any part of your car. This is not a "heating cooling...
