I've never driven an automatic car that shifts constantly. My issue is the delay or not wanting to shift down a single gear in most automatics. If it wasn't for my wife the only auto I would have is in my 8k+ lb truck. If Mazda can find a fine balance between the sport and the regular mode it...

The Trans tune slightly bogs down under certain conditions. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Yes, going much faster and hitting the slow car in front of you would be considered a bad idea. When your in traffic your often times limited to the conditiins of the traffic infront of you. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

And run into the people in front of me I think not. I live in the old folk state where everyone just about merges 20-30 under the speed limit at peak hours. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Now that you mention it. I would say I hit that dead spot mainly on the merge ramps for highways so that might of been apart of the eqasion to the issues I had. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I'm starting to think people literally think this happens every time I drove the car when I had it. It happened enough to be annoying enough to b**** about it but I was rarely able to replicate it on demand. The Trans would get in a dead zone for lack of a better term where it didn't want to...

I'm not knocking the car just really dislike the Trans programming when compared to all the other mazdas I've driven in my life. Personally I prefer stick shift all day unless it's in something big and heavy. I get the entire manual shift control with the pedal but I shouldn't have to make it...

I wouldn't exactly call a cx5 a car with balls, peppy yes but it's still a slow car. Good reliable, good handling peppy car. It's never intended to be a car with balls. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I wouldn't know. I've only driven a g37s mtx. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Also by that logic I should be able to go full throttle without down shift a single gear Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Well then tell that to the Mazda Corp ate tech that flew down to jacksonville to finally fix my cx5. I had a rather lengthy conversation on this very same subject. Maybe fooling it wasn't the correct wording but you making it switch different algorithms for the shift points. So by your logic...

That I get, I just never had much luck getting it to drop only 1 gear, its always multiple gears when I did it. Never had that issue with the 16 2.5L cx5 nor the 15 2.0L cx5 that I had a loaners but then again I only drove those two for maybe a day or two at a time at most.

If you are watching video on your phone with Bluetooth audio over the car speakers you will always have a delay due to processing on the head unit. Not much you can do about that other than delay the video but not sure how you would go about that. The only way I found to get it in sync is use...

Nice idea, How sturdy does it all feel once its all back together?

That was in reference to driving around programming put in place from the factory. The Mazdaspeed protg only comes in stick shift but same point about driving around Mazda's factory programming. You can make it do things the programming wasn't originally designed to do, in this case shift where...

That's like saying the Mazdaspeed protg engine tuning is great if you know how to drive around it. The stock tune is widely known as garbage. People blow motors up on it at stock boost(6.5lbs) if they don't know how to drive it and I've personally ran 18lbs of boost in mine without blowing...

Lmao, people pay attention to that still? I can't even see that on the Tapatalk app Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I expect it to drop 1 gear when I give it gas without having to give it a significant amount of additional throttle and the cx5 does or at least mine didnt. You can read online that other people state you have to learn to drive with a heavier foot than normal to get it to down shift. I didn't...

That's like saying learn to drive a stick shift car where the gears are too short. Every other Mazda I've driven didn't have the shifting issue the cx5 does. Maybe I just expect more out of a drivers orinited car than you do. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

To name a few F250, genesis, focus, ranger, durango, tempo, mustang,silverando, ram 1500, protege5, cavalier, ats, sedan deville, grand am, Mazda 6, sonta, civic, and the list goes on... non of which bogged down under normal driving in traffic like my old 2015 cx5. Don't get me wrong the cx5...
