    My issue is the finicky motors. Some vibrate, some don't. Volvo doesn't know the cause and just calls it normal. It wasn't for me. Also, do you even have a Polestar dealer within a days drive? Im not about that weekend trip for service.

    Polestar is just re-branded Volvo with a different tune. I'd kina steer clear, given my experiences, but everyone do themselves.

    Remember that time...

    He didn't overheat it. Mazda claims he "overheated" it. Read his post. He literally stopped in when his low-oil light came on. Don't you believe he would have done so if it ACTUALLY overheated? I know this is just hear-say and supposition, but it sure seems more in keeping with reality than...

    Hah! Honestly absolutely loving it. This thing is an animal, and has all the tech I could want and more. I'm thinking and hoping that barring unforeseen circumstance, this is a keeper.

    MB and Audi and the like come with a standard dose of pretentiousness. I buck the trend with Kia.

    Has any other manufacturer voided warranty due to legal on-road operation of the vehicle within the manuals design parameters?

    ...when I complained about the newer Mazdas always gathering data about driving telemetry? https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/just-one-more-reason-buying-my-2019-was-a-win.123873999/#post-6708571

    You have no idea how odd it is when all of my contemporaries are driving Audi S and MB and all that to be pumped about getting a Kia.

    Well, looks like the GT is very limited production. 2400 for 2023 entire US allocation. Mine arrives Jan 15-30.

    Why not? Mazda has clearly stated they want to be compared to BMW...so lets give it to 'em! Wait...nevermind. My info is sortof dated. They are going for boring and droll, now. Well, success? https://www.motor1.com/news/233390/mazda-benchmarks-toyota-not-bmw/

    So in 2015 with about half a liter less, BMW produced an engine making about 40bhp more (rated...) than Mazda in 2023...this is not exactly impressive on Mazda's behalf.

    Back on topic is BMWs b58 getting 21mpg city, 26 highway, in an x3 and putting down nearly 400 awhp stock, with. Nearly half a liter less displacement. Lame Mazda...lame.

    Why do I need anything? I have friends who have lived out of a backpack and hostels. Why a house? Why a car at all? Unless you're a terrible planner, you should be walking to work, or not work at all. You could live at the Salvation Army shelter and not worry a bout bills or anything. Totally...

    Couple the added weight in, and if the numbers are "legit", the 2.5T CX5 might actually be quicker, lol!

    I said I intended to say a few things…

    if the I6 turbo was junk, and I will. A turbocharged I6 3.3L engine that makes...280bhp? Mazda. 1990 called. Even they are insulted. The article excuses this saying the 2.5L Turbo in Oz only makes 228bhp...but that's probably because it's just on their 87 octane base map tune. Even if we presume...
