Yes, defaults to 1st at stop in manual mode, but yes you can shift to 2nd while stopped- I do it all the time...disclaimer- 2.5 OG MY- but I highly doubt that's changed, same for the back to upshift, forward to downshift orientation.. thankfully- if it was opposite as many are I'd use it almost...

So almost a month late but couldn't let this one slide(missed it).. I drove the RX-8 15 or so years ago when my MR2 turbo was my DD(edit..I had C230c by then so MR2 was my beater/snow car by then I guess- yeah Nokian snow tires on that thing it was a beast 10x better than my 1 wheel peel Merc...

Thanks for sharing and I hope the hell they do finally pull it off..but until I see and drive one live and in person its dead to me and that prick owes me $50!

No it was one of my work friends 16 or 17 who just 'upgraded' (well size wise at least and he hated tiny fuel tank) to a loaded Crosstrek which is ok(slow, CVT are my issues- manual while great to still see has infuriating levels of rev hang)but again at that price (29 and change I think he said...

But how do we know its a "fully redesigned" product? My $ is on heavily refreshed CX-4 that will probably be called CX-6, share the CX-5s engine options and similar if not slightly higher pricing- which I might be willing to absorb..but I want some paddles, sharper handling and FE- the last 2...

I've driven it- for me power while not great was not among my top 3 issues which were space(biggest issue by far) both boot and rear seat, noise and fuel capacity..oh and price relative to the 5. Down the list are power and looks which to me in most colors/angles while not necessarily offensive...

Yeah so that's pretty fkn stupid...buuuutttt hey if you're some pansy ass (not saying you are at all) but if you were some pansy ass who could/would not want to go out if there's more than a flurry forecasted- (I know ppl like this- one of whom has an A4 quat w/snows) and/or if you're a teacher...

That's what this looks like to me..naming and positioning are the questions..Naming it cx4 and pricing it above the 5 seems like a problem, and i recall it was to be priced slightly higher elsewhere so should be interesting to see what they do..They've gotten my attention!

Seems you got it all twisted son..cx5 is based on 3 platform always was as is the 4 i believe, whist cx3 has intimate relations with the duece. Second, this being my commute car I don't need no stinking turbos mang. 2.5na with less mass to move and lower cd sounds just right so I'm preparing...

Base curb w/2.5na w/awd 3406..so yeah there's less cargo but on paper this should be the better driving(being sig lighter and lower) slightly more fe cx5 for those who don't need it.. ie me w/wifey rollin the big rig

Meh semantics!..still new to us and much more relevant in our market than the cx3..this should replace the cx3 imo.

Na that Buick is a butched up wagon(not that there's anything inherently wrong with that) to me this is more of a butched up, stretched but nicely proportioned 3 hatch..I like...still pretty tidy @182.4..buick is comparatively yuge @196.3

^I'd bet engine options will mirror CX-5s unless we get a compression ignition option debut!

If it gives me a little better: handling, mpg, and paddles we probably have a deal- I'll live with the compromised cargo area assuming the clubs get in without flipping a flipping seat!

Ryan- why not just go for the turbo gas as everyone here will assure you is the thing to do? They start up in severe cold too..-27F- not sure I'd want to test a diesel in that kind of cold..

Haha best first post ever!! Oh man Ryan- I'll I can say is..sorry: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123860404-US-Diesel-s-big-splash-introduction&highlight=us+diesels+big+splash

Well I was referring specifically to snow/ice performance but anyway. I'm with you the Toyos do wear a bit fast but given their grip and ride/handling balance I felt it was a worthy trade off just not at 269/tire or whatever they were for the longest time. In my experience a tire that goes...

^^Winner holy witches titties thats cold..and damn we're soft- ppl crying here, schools delayed when we get -F wind chills much less air temp-curious to see what happens tomorrow no school today, they were there 2 hours yesterday for an inch or 2 of snow that happened after 4pm!

We'll see..you're quick to point out the fuel and DEF cost but ppl seeing pretty crappy mileage depending on conditions/habits very low 20s are easy. I know plenty of ppl that drive shitboxes (try decade plus old Hondas, Subies)..software developers that are probably worth mid7 if not into 8...

Yo guys i read, already posted, but I've heard it before and yeah its dead to me until they confirm 100% its "ALIVE"
