So I got a MA1 the other day so have been using AA more than I used to. I have two odd things happening that occur either wirelessly or plugged in. One is sometimes after a voice announcement from Maps the music comes back but only on the left speaker that played the announcement but the other...

There are a few reasons this makes sense. As far as the money goes who cares, it's a $30000+ car, what's a few bucks for the convenience of not having to screw around with cords running around the console or plugging it in every time you get in and out of the car. Folks spend more than that for...

I liked my '17 too, only got a '20 since I lease 'em. But for the love of god don't dial up any NPR stations on your road trips or your satisfaction level might plummet. 😉

Makes sense. It's the wife's car so the next time I'm in it I'll check that out.

Whenever we use our CX-30's front washers it smells like the WW fluid inside the car for a minute. Has anybody else run into this?

You can always look on flea-bay. They're only selling for 250-300 bucks..☹️ I saw one go for $400 with a March 26 ship date. Insanity. I managed to order one on Amazon for $89 with the same shipping date. 10 minutes later they showed as sold out again.

So my question is if you don't tune in that station does the loop stop? I actually could imagine it happening if the station has some sort of oddly coded RDS information as part of their broadcast.

I seem to recall something with the shifter lever having a switch that tells the car when it's in park going bad but can't remember exactly what happens when it does. But it's worth moving the lever back and forth a couple of times and seeing if it helps...

I'm not surprised at that. I had a '85 Civic S that was really fun to drive, then they came out with the '87 Si and I had to have it. Then when the Mits came out in '89 I bought it and almost lost it on the drive home as that thing was a poster child for torque steer and turbo surge. But gods it...

No, sorry, I didn't say that correctly. All three of my 80's hatchbacks had flip seats. Power seats in inexpensive little Japanese cars wasn't even a dream back then. I still miss my '89 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo to this day. There were only like 1800 sold in the US total and it was a go-kart on...

That's exactly my point. I owned three door hatchbacks for years and that's how they worked to allow rear seat access. I'm pretty sure they didn't make a custom seat with a fast release lever for this one car thereby rendering the rear seats pretty much useless. And don't even think about using...

Well yeah, but that's in a car designed so you can actually get into the back of the car. Even if you motored up the seat as far as it would go there's no way a normal human could get into those seats. The door simply isn't wide enough and the seat isn't designed to allow people to move past it.

So what purpose do the back seats serve now? Sorta cute but silly...

Weathertech. I'm going to look at one Thursday since they have an outlet store near where I have a couple of hours to kill that day and need mats for the wife's CX-30 anyway.

Ya know, I really don't since I never take the plate off until it's time to move it to a new car when my lease runs out. But at least I can change out the frame to make it look a little better even though it's sort of putting lipstick on a pig. That's why I was thinking about getting one of the...

I think one thing to consider is that the front plate provides some protection to the front of the car from people who parallel park by feel. I have a black metal frame on mine and you can see where it's taken many a bump but protected the bumper from damage. I've been thinking about buying one...

In Chicago they will pull you over for no front plate. Especially now with all the drive-by and highway shootings they want cars to be easily identified from both ends. Back in the 90's I was pulled over for no front plates a couple of times so threw in the towel and quit fighting the power...

I've owned many a car since my '74 Volvo wagon and never had a more comfy and ergonomic seat...

I have what looks to be the aftermarket one on my SR and it looks great. It also covers the edge where the Mazda one doesn't and that's a big plus.

Sorry, what a PITA. I've learned the hard way when taking delivery of a car to inspect the crap out of it. If it's bad just say no and don't accept the car, though I've never had to do that. When we got my wife's CX-30 we found marks on the door handles and some other small exterior stuff. We...
