    What's Likely To Change For 2020?

    I dont think it will change much until the next refresh honestly. And then probably what the new 3 has.

    What's Likely To Change For 2020?

    I hope they dont take it too far like Tesla..... giant iPad isnt the solution to everything!

    AC works good

    The manufacturer should size the system accordingly. A larger house has a larger hvac for example than a smaller house. If both are sized correctly it should perform similarly. The Mazda CX-5 doesnt have to worst AC of any car Ive owned. Its just not the best either. The GTI cools down very...

    So when its in the triple digits.... this kind of weather is where one notices.

    AC works good

    It definitely doesnt quite have polar vortex mode like my GTI and previous vehicle (ST) have.

    AC works good

    My main issue is Mazda doesnt use the thermal glass other auto makers (such as Ford and VW) that Ive owned so more heat (solar radiation) transfers in. Very noticeable with the sunroof but we tinted the front side windows. Need to probably add some to the sunroof as well. Even adding to the...

    Updating infotainment on 2016 CX 5

    Money is probably better spent on the CarPlay/Android Auto upgrade imo.

    2019 CX-5 Signature vs. Grand Touring Reserve

    I find the seats comfortable and no passenger complaints aside from my mom who pretty much complains about all car seats and has pillows wedged into hers. So I always consider that an edge case lol.

    2019 CX-5 Signature vs. Grand Touring Reserve

    I usually go for black interior but that brown is really nice! Id be very tempted to go with that myself.

    I like Tesla.... but I think they take the touch screen too far and build quality leaves something to be desired.

    I think as it is right now if youre living in an apartment its a challenge. The company I work for has chargers in the parking lot but not enough really. This could expand. I think apartments which have garages or dedicated parking could certainly add it but Im sure they would pass along the...

    I agree for it to be sustainable they have to be fully recycled not just dumped somewhere.

    Also wanted to add that the way an electric car manages its battery is much different than say your phone. And they have options, useful for commuters, to only charge to 80% greatly extending the life. As for end of life I think itll be like car batteries today where the place selling it will...

    Completely agree the cost of the cars needs to come down to where its not more expensive than the ICE equivalent. Home chargers are still kind of expensive and that might come down a little but I think its mainly the electrical work so probably not too much. As for cost to charge thats...

    I think its going to be like the transition from film t digital in photography.

    Mazda Dreaming

    Those are two things that definitely need to improve. As it stands today if youre a 2 car household, have a garage at home where you can charge, and a commute well within the cars range an electric car makes sense as your second vehicle in my opinion. This would apply to me as my commute daily...

    Mazda Dreaming

    I dont want a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt. But once someone makes the electric GTI/Si/ (you get the idea) Id be very interested. Reliability? I think will actually be better. As for the battery the technology there is rapidly improving and once they really catch on I think a rebuilding industry...

    I honestly think I want something electric next. But this would be tempting.

    I definitely would like to see Mazda bring back the Speed3 though.
