Mazda dropped the performance power train they offered previously. The chassis is a stretched version of the original chassis from the first gen CX-5. So, literally, they have refreshed the same car twice for Gen 2 and Gen 3. There has not been an entirely clean sheet redesign of the car...

There are no 2026 2.5T CX-5's. 2025 is the last year to offer it.

Essentially, updated tech with loss of physical controls, same power train - less the 2.5T option, and a slightly longer wheelbase with extra rear seat and cargo room. It's really more of an update than a new model.

Have you confirmed this in the new CX-5?

I definitely went with the 30k interval on my most recent two cars and will do so with my Telluride. Better safe than sorry.

Very surprised you didn't have issues waiting that long.

So you didn't change your ATF fluid until 100k?

The Kia stop-start system works fine. I don't like my motor turning off at stops. It makes me nervous, which isn't worth the tiny advantage in fuel economy it provides.

Just like the idle stop/start systems. Most folks hate it. I immediately overrode it on my Telluride.

For 99.9% of the motoring community, it really doesn't make any difference what brand of oil is used as long as it meets Mazda specs. This is a lot to do about nothing IMHO.

If you got it at 24k and it never had an oil change, it seems you have done well to get to 90k without issues.

I think he only has one tire to get rid of not a whole set.

If it fits and has higher capacity, why not?

That is pretty extreme. My system has never done what you are experiencing. You may have a bad sensor.

This one issue would make you switch makes?

Yep. It happens. Very random event on our 21.

18" will be a slightly better ride with a taller sidewall than the 19", but you will lose some handling ability in trade. Only you can decide what you are willing to give up.

Well, we have evidence of other manufacturers who have done it and backtracked- see the 26 Subaru Outback which now ditched the huge screen and added physical controls for the everyday things. There isn't a way to make a touchscreen which works like physical controls. You will have to look at...

Other than the big screen, I agree. The screen is a big miss IMHO. I seriously would not buy the car (and didn't wait for it because of the screen and the powertrain). I bought a Telluride a couple of weeks ago. Would have considered a CX-90 if I could have found a Turbo S to look at/drive.
