    Got rid of my CX-50 Turbo Premium (long post)

    Apologies for the super late reply, just went back to some of these comments. I actually did go to a few Lexus dealerships to get an appraisal for the CX-50 at the time and a few of the things that I didn't like about the NX-350 was that it felt extremely cramped like the CX-5 back in the 2nd...

    Got rid of my CX-50 Turbo Premium (long post)

    My opinions are a reflection of the CX-50 of the 5,700 miles that I've put onto the vehicle with all of the issues, whether personal opinion or not. I think it's evident in the title that it's very specific to my own personal observations. You seem to take be taking this very personal for some...

    2023 CX-9 same specs as the 2022? WeatherTech Mats

    As promised, here are the pics of the Smart Liners. There are still exposed areas that aren't being fully covered with the Smart Liners and you can see based on this image, it's mostly the 2nd and 3rd row areas.

    Anyone replace their 2022/2023 CX-9 Speakers (non-Bose)?

    You've been an amazing resource! I will keep those in mind when I am shopping around and speccing out the build. At this point, I want to hold off to see if there are any issues with the vehicle first just so I don't spend all that effort wiring the car to only have to warranty it 😅

    CX-5 Jack points, Pinchweld Heights, Bottlejacks and Pucks

    From owning at least 4 sets of these pads, I've noticed that the quality of the material isn't all that great. I think it's some type of PVC that stretches and not actual rubber as it's not indicated on the product description but I could be wrong. They do get the job done but whenever the pinch...

    Got rid of my CX-50 Turbo Premium (long post)

    Thank you @sm1ke, glad to help and I will work on creating something after putting some miles on the car! It's going to be sad that the CX-9 is going away but it's definitely long overdue for a refresh. I am curious if Mazda is planning to manufacturer the new CX-70/90 lineup in the US and if...

    Got rid of my CX-50 Turbo Premium (long post)

    You are correct about the CX-9 not being a feature loaded vehicle but I guess it depends on which trim you are referring to. I had a chance to test drive the carbon edition while my CX-50 was in the shop for a few days and I really enjoyed driving experience overall which led me down the road of...

    Got rid of my CX-50 Turbo Premium (long post)

    Thanks for the kind words guys, I hope my write up helps someone that is looking to purchase the CX-50 and to provide some more insight in what it was like to own the vehicle. @GTEyes I will definitely do a write up for the CX-9 once I put some more miles on it to see if any issues manifest...

    2023 CX-5 Clicking sound

    I watched the video and it sounds like metal on metal contact from what I am hearing but I could be wrong. Might be easier to diagnose this issue if you take everything out of your vehicle (e.g. sunglasses, items inside the center console/passenger storage compartment/trunk etc.) A few things I...

    CX-5 Jack points, Pinchweld Heights, Bottlejacks and Pucks

    +1 for me also. I purchased the 2 year warranty for the jack pads and had to use it a few times to get some replacement pads for a peace of mind for an extra $4-7. I would recommend the warranty if you guys are buying the HF jack pads as it's worth it if they're damaged for whatever reason.

    Dealer says it needs repairs, independent mechanic says no (2016 CX-5)

    I would recommend replacing the outer tie rod as it's a relatively inexpensive component (with the exception of an alignment and tools). I did a write up on this a few months back and I replaced most of my front suspension components due to wear and tear. The outer tie rod was a tad more...
