Ditto on the DieselGate. I had mine for 6 years. I really loved my TDI but I couldn't not sell it back for what I got. :)

That's one thing I miss that my last 3 VW's had. Slide out under seat storage drawers under the front seats.

Similar color to my 2000 VW Passat. It was called Satin Silver. It mostly appeared silver but in sunlight it had a gold luster to it. My 2011 Golf TDI which was Reflex Silver was pretty similar to my Sonic Silver CX-5. My last VW 2017 Golf was Tungsten Silver. It was darker than the Reflex...

My 2019 GTR is Sonic Silver. It is actually slightly lighter than my son's 2016 Mazda 3 which is Liquid Silver. My brother in law just ordered a Platinum Quartz CX-90. After seeing that color in person at the dealer I'd say it leans more toward a light champagne than a pure silver.

You would hope so. The Subaru dealer we've been dealing with for 40 years was bought out by a large company several years ago that has been buying franchises at a frantic pace. We just received a "special coupon" from them for an oil & filter change with tire rotation for $149. Safe to say...

My 4 month old 2019 GTR was rear ended & totaled just pre pandemic. I had a similar experience. I got more than MSRP. Between that & the deal I got on my GTR's replacement clone, I came out several thousand dollars ahead.

It should be the same Group 35 battery. I ran into a similar issue on Costco's website looking up a battery for my wife's Outback. At the time her model year wouldn't show up. I verified the size with the Subaru dealer it was the same as the adjacent years. I checked a few months later & the...

What Mazda has done however is increase the number of trim levels for it's various models. Way more confusing then when I bought my 2019 CX-5 GTR.

ETERNAL BLUE MICA

Looks like Sam's carries the Pirelli's but Costco does not at least in the US. Several members on this forum posted that Costco carries them in Canada. In eastern PA I've used Mavis who is good about about meeting/beating prices.

My son just did the CarPlay upgrade to his 2016 Mazda 3 a week ago. I passed this tip on to him. Thanks.

I also find that most of the time I'm in a similar situation. I enjoy "playing dumb" & seeing whether the salesperson is knowledgeable or someone who tries to come off that they are & just feeding me a load of crap. I don't mind if the salesperson is at least honest that they don't have all the...

I also do not like the stock Toyo's on my 2019 GTR. Still plenty of tread left so I've been dragging my feet replacing them. I replaced the tires on my wife's Outback with the Conti LX25 & have been very pleased with them. I added both the Conti LX25 & Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 to my "Save for...

Yeah, I think I got mine online for around $250. They are stupid expensive even at $250 which is way less than the list price. Easy enough to install. Only the fronts are illuminated but no wiring is involved. They're button cell battery powered & there's a magnet that attaches on the bottom of...

My 2019 Turbo has the surrounding box with foam as well.

The OEM is Class I

The OEM Mazda Canadian floor liners are actually made by Maxpiders I believe. They are just Mazda logo'd & look a little nicer in my opinion. I have them in my 2019 GTR.

From what I've seen, Yes, you do need to cut the plastic bumper for the OEM Mazda hitch. There is no pop out cover on the bumper. There is another thread somewhere on this forum in which someone posted pictures of a horrendous hack job the installer (I believe at a Mazda dealer) did while...

In one of the other threads someone mentioned they got a Stealth Hitch. Very nice but VERY pricey. The docking part of the hitch is removable when not in use so you can't see the hitch at all. You then attach the docking part when you want to use the hitch. Etrailer sells those as well.
