You don't need a dealer. Any garage can do ALL of that. You don't even need a 'national chain'. You can certainly buy the coolant yourself and take it to that mechanic. As for spark plugs, yea, risk of cross threading has been a thing forever. And it's always been a warning to be careful. It's...

I'd bet money it would work on any Mazda. They havent certified it for a 50 means they haven't tried yet.

OK so the newer Mazda's have this remote start app. For all intents and purposes it is currently free "for 3 years" as Mazda says. Some cars are apparently beyond this 3 year mark and Mazda still hasn't announced what this charge will eventually be. Am I right so far? I know at least part of...

It's a car with ground clearance... and it's not fragile. :D

I'll give you that. But I sincerely doubt OP needs an alignment.. Pet Peeve #255: People babying their SUV's or giant pickups. I have no qualms about driving OVER things...that's what I LIKE about an SUV. If you have to baby your SUV, you bought the wrong one. Buddy bought a big honking...

Yea, not a requirement. How often do you really change stuff? After 3-4 years, just about never. ;)

It's not THAT fragile. I don't baby mine over bumps and have gone 75K flawless miles.

I would hope our cars can go over a curb and not be destroyed so easy. Isn't that an ADVANTAGE to these vehicles? :D

OK That is cool as F! Nice job.

Surely you lose the ability to change car settings. Still pretty cool!

Most are not missing this. My Volvo does this, as do all modern Volvo.

50 years old. Owned 15 cars. Been idling since 1986. Never lost an engine. :D

He's one of many normal people that don't have WG issues. 🤣 My 2 current turbo cars are my 5th and 6th turbo cars. Zero WG failures.

I am 2 miles from my door to my job. Didn't plan that. Been doing this for 3 years now. I absolutely warm it up for 5-10 minutes. Contrary to common belief I do not believe idling is bad for a car. People say it is a waste of time and money and gas and is environmentally irresponsible. Also...

Pretty sure he was joking. Had to be...

In the modern age they were absolutely the first to put a HUD in any car in this class. Fact. I didn't say first ever.

TON of videos on YouTube. Google for "Android Auto Tutorial". Here's the official help page from Google: https://support.google.com/androidauto?hl=en#topic=6348018

Saab and Volvo know turbos. There are never many failures on any of their turbo cars. Mazda doesn't have QUITE the experience as some car makers, but I do trust them enough to know how to source or build (not sure who makes Mazda's turbo or if they do) good ones...

You missed my point. I didn't watch the video because i hate videos or write ups like that. "5 things you should do with your turbo! But first, a full 5 minutes on WHAT is a turbo." Or "Recipe for super yummy food...let me spend 5 paragraphs telling you why I like this food"... I will say...
