Came across one of these people recently while driving home from Disneyworld in Orlando. Light turned green while a guy was in the middle of crossing the street. He didn't try to hurry across like a normal person would, instead he continued at his own pace while the car to my right honked a bit...

Pretty quiet in here! All good so far with my 2022. Today I picked up some spare parts for an excellent price. Wagner rear brake pads, a pair of rear shocks, and a rear wiper blade insert. All for $40 CDN.

Coming up on 2 weeks of having this dashcam installed, no issues noted. It's handling cold weather just fine (down to -27c last night). I thought I might uninstall it at this point, but there's really no reason to remove the extra dashcam aside from the extra power cable and rear cam cable...

Ceika seems like a very good company in general, allowing such customization and providing plenty of support before and after the sale. I've emailed with Jean-loup before when I first came across the Ceika coilovers and every question I asked was answered in great detail. Can't wait to see how...

i-Stop can be turned off according to the Owner's Manual, but ideally you'd be able to turn it off and it would remember the setting. As it stands, based on the Owner's Manual, you'd have to turn it off every time you start the car. I think it would have been best if Mazda simply added physical...

Care to cite a source? I see i-Stop mentioned in the 2026 Owner's Manual, but I couldn't see anything regarding CD. Online vehicle builder shows CD and i-Stop in Standard Features section. I suppose if it's possible that reviewers would put their credibility on the line to lie about CD and...

I'm not a big fan of this reviewer, but he provides some insight and a clip from a guy named Rubin Archilla from Mazda Vehicle Dynamics. I think he also mentions that the 2026 model is about 150 lbs heavier than the outgoing model. Some interesting tidbits from Rubin's portion, starting at...

My wife is bad for this. She'll hop out of the car and pull her phone out as soon as the door closes, checking for messages or group chat notifications, completely distracted as we walk through the parking lot. It's so important to maintain situational awareness in a parking lot because you have...

Here's a good one: Don't be "nice", be predictable! I've seen a few dashcam clips of people on the highway with the right of way, slowing down to a near stop to let a car at a yield sign merge in. The intention is good, execution is dangerous. They would be better off moving one lane over if...

The machine grey is a "safe" colour, looks good from most angles, has more depth than the modern polymetal variations, hides dirt, dust and spots fairly well. That said, it's a pretty common colour for those reasons, and it doesn't really stand out as much. I went from a 2018 machine grey CX-9...

Having an opinion of your own and expressing it is perfectly fine, but shaming others and making assumptions regarding their moral compass is not. Keep the thread on topic please.

I don't think so, the website lists specs from a GS model with the 187hp motor. I think it's a Canadian site. I'd like to know where the 9.4-9.6s figure some people have quoted is coming from, but I couldn't find anything in my quick searches. Weight, aerodynamics, gearing, traction, etc. could...

Thanks for the correction. I believe the same thing happened in 2017, with the additional weight resulting in a 0-60 time that was a couple of hundredths slower. Pretty negligible. In this case, based on what some people are saying, along with this website that published a 9.4s 0-60, the car is...

I believe they'll continue to sell them with increasing incentives until they're off the lot. I think 2025 leftovers may sell quicker than the 2016.5 leftovers did. Back in 2017 with the 2nd gen, the engine and transmission remained more or less the same with a slight increase in weight. With...

I ran over a skunk in my IS250 once. Driving down a 50mph street at night, wife (then girlfriend) sleeping in the passenger seat. It jumped out from some tall grass or a bush or something and I had no time to react, and clipped it with my rear wheel. Immediately drove it to a coin-op wand wash...

I'd say it's a non-issue. The only concern I'd have (and it's very, very minor) is your maintenance record will show that you used an API SN oil for that oil change, which differs from what the manual recommends. Realistically though, what's most important to show is how well you follow the...

I believe it was April 2019 that the newer coolant was implemented on the assembly line. The attached TSB says CX-5s with VIN ending in 605884 or lower are affected and have the 50/50 FL22.
