    CX-5 turbo detuned during break in?

    If this was even remotely a possibility, then it wouldn't be shifting at 5,000+ rpms. It would upshift long before winding the engine out.

    My dealership made an "oops"

    Our opinions are all shaped by our experiences. Ive had screwups at both dealerships and Indy shops.

    2020 due?

    Its a waste of money for auto manufacturers to create and maintain their own navigation systems when so many mobile apps are much better and more useful. Non smartphone folks can stick with their Garmins or Gazetteers.

    Yo Monty- Im sure space does have some impact on the CX9 purchase decision, but folks arent writing it off for that reason alone unless theyre pure spec sheet type people. That 2.5T is programmed perfectly for the CX9. But folks would never know unless they got behind the wheel. Id rather...

    CX9 suffers from American stupidity. Americans are ingrained to believe a 3 row crossover needs at least a 6 cylinder engine. How many 2.7T I4s Silverados is Chevy selling?

    Then its functioning as designed. Nothing random about it.

    Danged Automatic!

    At 5 mph youre probably in 2nd gear, which can suck for rapid acceleration as it will take some time for the vehicle to downshift. Id use manual mode in those situations to be safe.

    Car and Driver: Every 2019 Compact Crossover SUV Ranked from Worst to Best

    There are a ton of Subaru commercials in my area, probably because they sell well due to our messy winters. But the ads focus on safety, reliability, dogs and a slight eco-conscious mindset.

    Torque Steer

    I had an AWD first gen GSX. Then I stepped up to a 3000 GT VR4. Good times!

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Weird that the 6 doesnt experience this problem because these led drls were pretty much identical between models.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Ive seen 5 or 6 different CX5s the past few weeks with one or two failing or dead led drls. Crazy. There really should be a consistent plan to help owners out. Everyone on here is coming back with different estimates/costs.

    Try spinning the L/R toggle 180 degrees so its facing backwards.

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    Your use of hate seems more hyperbole in nature. If so thats fine, but gets lost in stupid online conversations. Yeah, I probably wont buy an American brand auto anytime soon, but it would be a Tesla before the big 3. Hell id choose an Alpha over the Big 3. At least it would look sexy...

    You edited your post while I was writing. Ill just respond without bothering to edit my previous reply. Too annoying on my phone.

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    Um, seriously? No personal experience and nothing but search engine results? I expected better. Ive only driven a Bolt, but the instant torque was quite impressive. Chevy design and materials were still underwhelming. Having said that- 1- most start ups never turn a profit, not unless theyre...
