    Low Engine Oil Warning Light on new CX-5

    I get that, and I need one for winter and my hill and living near off grid, but Bush was saying he'd go back to an Accord, and that made me wonder...why even have a CUV? Those 2.0 Accords are excellent!

    I agree, but they are some of the better ones to leverage the 5.1.

    Low Engine Oil Warning Light on new CX-5

    If you don't need an SUV, I wouldn't own an SUV. I do not understand why people buy SUV's and do not need them. Why take the mpg and performance penalty?

    Low Engine Oil Warning Light on new CX-5

    I chose the RDX ASPEC Advance and am very pleased so far. It's very "CX5"-like, but just more, in every way. More power, more comfort, more handling, etc. Also sadly more money. That said, maybe hold out for the CX70 and see how the 1st year of that goes? Risky, but...

    I got the PPF on and new tires and window tint. Still loving it and very pleased with my decision to go with the RDX thus far. The 5.1 surround sound from flacc files is amazing, especially on songs that really leverage it like a lot of Pink Floyd's stuff ("Money", and the helicopter intro in...

    Brand New 2022 CX-5 Transmission Problems? Updated!

    No, the SkyActiv 6 speed may be dated, but it is not known to be fragile or issue prone. This falls under the "sometimes anything can happen" banner.

    Low Engine Oil Warning Light on new CX-5

    This really sucks. Mazda truly did have this thing nailed down, and I don't know what they've done, but I do not have any regrets at the last minute buying something else. This makes me sad, though, as I like Mazda :(

    4 cores is limited, sure, but when you benchmark games look at how much of your CPU is leveraged. It's really not a lot. More GPU, still.

    Very solid! Nothing will leverage that beyond capacity for at least 5 years os my guess.

    Tire upgrade options for 2022 CX-5 Signature

    I personally think the tires are well matched to the weight and capabilities of the vehicle, they just look so dang skinny. That said, I ran LX25's on mine and liked them, but nowdays, I put CC2's on everything I drive.

    CrossClimate2 10,000mi review

    I replaced the trash Eagle RS-A's on my RDX with them as well, and again, they perform the same as on the Prime, and as you state. Excellent tire! I have not found anything better, yet.

    I feel fortunate to have lucked onto the 96/24 full Rammstein album! I am looking for some trance/techno, but asked of Bjork and Goldfrappe, have not found any.

    The main issue was actually finding 5.1 flac music files. After that, it was converting the rar to flac. Just a royal annoyance. I thought there could be a easier way. No.

    Yes, I just hate all the tech stuff.

    Totally am. I am an absolute luddite with that stuff, but I did muddle my way into downloading in 5.1 96 FLACC the entire Amerika album by Rammstein, so there's that. Every 8-10 years, I deep-dive into PC's and learn allll there is to know so that I can have a proper rig built. Then I go back...

    DDR5 is obviously the future, but honestly, RAM isn't going to make or break a gaming experience. I remember reading a comparison between 2400 and 3200ms RAM in FPS, and it was something like 1-3fps, depending on the game during heavy usage. So long as you have enough, you're fine. Games are...

    Brand new CX-5 Turbo Vibration at 55-67mph

    My A36's did this exact thing. They are just bad tires. CC2's will cure this.

    So far, my build soldiers on, half a decade after I began this thread, roughly. A few weeks ago I did another performance test. Yes, it still slaps. A few years back I pulled the 1080GTX out and put in a 1080Ti, and swapped the 500W PSU for an 850W PSU. Otherwise, just enjoyed the rig...

    2017~2025 Considering a change from Subaru

    I have owned a RAV4 Prime as well as two CX5s (a 2015 Touring AWD and a 2019 GT Reserve). I prefer the CX5 turbo to the prime, and both to the N/A CX5. -I never had any DI/carbon issues at 106K miles in my 2015, or 80K miles in my 2019 CX5. -The NA CX5 does fine with 87, the turbo benefits from...

    Over filling the gas tank, is this a practice that should be avoided?

    Humility needs to be encouraged.
