    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    For what its worth, my BMW does this too. I think its just an annoying habit of these turbo-fours tuned with a sporty throttle response. They can probably soften it with a tune, but Im guessing itd come at the expense of some acceleration performance. I dont think there are enough dots...

    What new Mazda is coming?

    Dealers near me have 20-24 Crossteks available. I see these gross cars all over the DMV area like an infestation. https://www.subaruofsterling.com/new-inventory/index.htm?compositeType=new&make=Subaru&model=Crosstrek...

    Turbo: nobody home?

    Then what is all the fuss about? Gotta admit I questioned why anyone would floor their car in frozen conditions. Cant be great for the car, turbo or not.

    Turbo: nobody home?

    If its as bad as some of you guys claim, that would have been noticeable even in the snow.

    Turbo: nobody home?

    Lol because a couple people on the internet are having issues? I feel I should remind everyone that Mazda held its CX-5 turbo press event in freezing Canada and NONE of the reviewers had this problem. Let the posters reach out to the dealerships before jumping to conclusions. If the...

    What new Mazda is coming?

    Agree. I had a first year CX-7 for over a decade and suffered the turbo failures. It was a fabulous car otherwise. Never really gave me any other trouble and was the perfect size for a crossover imo. Ive been surprised to see the ragging on it around here.

    What new Mazda is coming?

    The amount of plastic on the CX-30 body is gross. Such a disappointment. I think the CX-5 reference was to the 2019 model.

    2019 CX5 GT vs GTR - different in handling - my mere fantasy or real?

    C&D says the turbo is stiffer. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a25693266/2019-mazda-cx-5-turbo-by-the-numbers/ *The CX-5 is sporty not because it is sharp-edged or stiff*although the turbo is tuned to be slightly stiffer than the base model*or because it has lots of grip (an intrusive...

    I dumped my CX-5 finally

    Ah I didnt realize that. Whats the consensus best tire size for the OEM wheels in terms of looks and performance?

    I dumped my CX-5 finally

    Funny you mention the tires. Someone has a CX-5 in my complex and just the other day I noticed how oddly skinny the tires look, especially from the rear. Doesnt do the cars design justice. Anyone know if theres a wider Mazda wheel/tire that could stand-in? Perhaps from the CX-9?

    I dumped my CX-5 finally

    Cant we all just agree that extended warranties are kinda like sports betting? The terms are essentially designed to break-even. If they weighed heavy in favor of the manufacturer, they wouldnt sell, and vice versa. Regardless of where you place your bet, your odds of saving/losing money are...

    Awesome. I love a new car story. Im curious, what was your deciding factor between GTR and Sig?

    2019 GT-R Engine Performance Question

    Unless dealerships are selling 95% of their Sig inventory while its still on the ship, I dont think theyre delivering the Sig fast enough to allow it to be the top selling trim. Cant wait to see the sales figures though. The lower trims are gonna get a boost from finally having CP/AA from...

    Signature vs Grand Touring Reserve / Incentives

    I got curious tonight and compared some hi-res images. The best I can tell there are 3 pieces of flair: 1. Sig has a chrome ring on the steering wheel hub 2. Sig has brushed silver seat adjustment buttons 3. Sig has a chrome or silver strip on the glove box latch Meh.
