There's not really that much difference between '16, '17 and '18. Best place to start is comparing all features listed on Mazda's website for each trim.
GT wheels are a different size, so you would need to resize your tires to fit the new wheels if you swap them, and you'd need to make sure...
I don't know why you would "figure" this. I guess this is why you shouldn't assume.... (uhm)
Compare dimensions of Accord, Camry, Altima vs. CR-V, RAV4 and Rouge.
Just get one of these:

This could easily happen in your pocket. I've seen other owner's forums with cars that have an auto window down feature by holding down the fob button, and even with a trunk release fob button--countless threads on how these features were accidentally activated with the fob in the driver's...
You shouldn't "accept it". The point is that every make and every model can have a one-off vehicle that has problems that can't be solved; especially in today's modern age where your entire car is run by computers. This is why Lemon Laws exist. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a reason to...
If he's being honest, and the update still has bugs, you are going to be back for another update again anyway. I'd see if you can swing something out of it--a loaner for the service when you do bring it in (it the dealer doesn't already offer them), free wiper blade replacement, a Mazda coffee...
Have you looked on TireRack--not necessarily to buy, but for ratings? Bridgestone Duelers were OEM--I did not like those tires. I just replaced a set of Bridgestone Ecopia 422s with a set of General Altimax RT43s. Both were rated pretty close to each other, but the Generals were $100 cheaper...
I'm not sure how this can be. The transmitter in the door handle has a very short range--as do all proximity key systems. If you step a few feet away from the door handle, and have someone else press the lock request button, the car won't unlock--try this with any car with a proximity key. So...
We sure did.
You keep asking "Why?" How do you think this will help solve the "You just can't" result?
There are no buttons on the rear doors because--it costs more. Period.
If you set the car to autolock when you walk away--well then turn the feature off if it doesn't work for you.
You...
