    Winter is here and my CX-5 Turbo is now a 2.0L!

    Honestly, I would not own a car with such terrible support. This is also part of why I won't buy a Stelvio. No dealer within 180mi.

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    I hope youre wrong, as the cx50 is pretty lame in many ways, but if the cheapen the cx5 and "turn it into" the cx50, per se, maybe they can have low margins on cx70 and not price it too high.

    She don't do so good with the AWD :/

    I drove and picked it up. Easy peasy.

    Yes, but now I am reading the Mazda may or may not be an oil burner, now. That kinda stacks as worse than a noisy pano roof. I am also seeing evidence that it's faster than numbers suggested in the past, etc. Dunno, torn on it.

    It was mostly said in gest, but this oil burning issue has me looking at the RDX A Spec Advance. I keep trying to find some YT of one racing a CX5 turbo out of curiosity, lol!

    I keep seeing issues like limp mode and boxy flex/pano roof popping and dash rattle that all seem t o have no resolution from Acura. It's a "nope" for me for those reasons. Then we have Mazda with burning oil and no fix. It may push me to Alfa Romeo as a more reliable solution, lmao! Wild!

    How can Mazda say "we do not know the cause" and also say "we know the exact production day that we solved the issue", in the same tsb?

    If it has not been determined, how do they know such precise cutoff production dates?

    Ima averaging mid 40s. The issue is the rear motor has 53hp/89# torque...not very equal. At all. Mazda has resolved all of the engine issues as far as I am aware for 2022YM.

    The AWD system has kindof shown its arse in the snow/ice. As to the CX5, they fixed cold weather limp mode and made it stiffer and better shifting. I'll trade the bit of power and efficiency for a better AWD. The CX70 will use cheaper parts from non-Japanese suppliers to cut costs, per Mazda...

    Mazda CX-5 OEM Parts

    YHM Turbo w/KeyMo mount is what I put on there IIRC. I remain a KAC QDC and SF SOCOM fan.

    Mazda CX-5 OEM Parts

    I have tried to find other methods, but beyond measuring bolt stretch with stoopid expensive kit, measuring drag (torque wrench) is the best way. I am very attentive to torque and bolt stretch, by extension, when building/assembling or maintaining weapon systems. This is the last one I did, for...

    I drove one and was pretty unimpressed wildly enough.

    Threads season and torque to angle changes before stabilizing again after run in. I see this on barel nuts and muzzle devices on m4s when assembling.

    No roof leak yet, but it is a bad design. Awd is very meh. The chassis isnt as rigid as the cx5. Those two things are very important to me. Cx5 has improved too. Mirrors got a legit tsb. Cold weather limp mode is gone. The latter was part of the tbing that made me trade it.

    Going back to a cx5 most likely.
