Never doubted the rear legroom was much better with 2" of extra wheelbase directed to added rear seat room. My doubt is this from your original post: "The Gen 3 is taller by least a few inches than the Gen 2". It simply isn't. I would also say that with the addition of a panoramic S/R the...

Yes, for rear seat passengers. That makes sense as 2" was added to the rear seat and 2.5" was added to the cargo area....

I don't doubt it "feels" bigger. The question is, do the numbers back it up? It is like someone saying their car feels faster after adding a CAI, or cat-back exhaust. It may sound faster, but it is not likely to be faster. Question? Do you have the tan interior? They didn't have that in...

You could likely vacuum it if that is the case. Not too hard to get to. Check YouTube.

You say "slightly lower to the floor", but the seats are height adjustable right? My 21 GT Reserve had height adjustments on both front seats.

Not trying to argue, it just doesn't make sense. The rear seat, I get. They added 2.5" to the rear area, which is a lot (the specs below seem off in that regard as they only show 0.3" added legroom for the 26 while shoulder room is up 0.8"). The headroom is where I question you as the specs...

I am just quoting the specs of each car. There can't be that much difference. It's the same body as before, just stretched. You have a 24 Cx-5 correct? How about you measure from the top of your head to the roof in both cars. And from your hip to the door? According to everything I have...

The Gen 2 is 66.3" high and the Gen 3 is 66.7". Front headroom is 39.3" in the Gen 2 and 39.2" in the Gen 3....

Care to explain how you did it?

So strange what car makers do to differentiate trim levels. Seems like a strange place to cut costs.

To be fair, it is a sub. Most OEM systems don't use premium materials and amps in their systems.

I recommend the sound dampening be done to your Bose sub before you buy a replacement. I thought it made the sound much tighter. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2nd-generation-cx-9-bose-subwoofer-improvement.123869524/

Well, adding 200lbs to the car without increasing the power is a good way to slow it down.... Have any of the usual testers done a real 0-60 time? I don't see an official test result from C&D, MT, or R&T. I am expecting it to be mid to high 8's with the extra weight. The video above said the...

Good luck with that...

Exactly. Everything I have seen talks about less soft touch materials which is a step down. The steering wheel also looks "cheap" to me. Not as upmarket as the last one.

Just did a quick Google and this was the answer: "The 2.5L engine in the Mazda CX-90 PHEV is not an "all-new" engine design, but rather an updated version of Mazda's existing naturally aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder Skyactiv-G engine. It is heavily modified for plug-in hybrid duty, paired with a 68...

The 2.5L used in the CX90 hybrid is unrelated to the 2.5 used in the CX5 for over a decade?

I was thinking it made no sense the hybrid CX5 wasn't ready at launch as they already have a 2.5L hybrid for the CX60/70/90 with 323hp and 369 ft/lbs and an 8sp automatic. Of course, this is a RWD platform, but surely Mazda can adapt it to work with FWD.

I guess time will tell. I read good and bad experiences with Kia and Mazda all the time so it isn't isolated to Kia. I am at 3500 miles and going in for my first oil change today (along with a software recall update for the emission system). I don't plan on adding any aftermarket stuff...

Can you elaborate? I would love to know what to look out for on my 25.
