    CX-90 Reviews are out

    I didn't realize HUD would show directions from CarPlay. That seems super useful! I don't know of other cars that can do this today. I had the same conclusion. It's better than the MDX in every way I could think of and would recommend CX90 over MDX unless you really need a second row middle...

    2018 CX-5 squeaky driver seat

    Hi y'all, The left side of my driver seat, specifically, whenever there is some pressure on the left bolster has started to squeak. I found one 2016 thread with the same issue but couldn't find any recent ones. It's gotten a little annoying and squeaks anytime I go over a bump or turn. Checking...

    Me too. My heart is finding ways to justify CX-90's choices to my brain, lol. But not there yet.

    Mazda CX-90 Turbo Premium Plus vs Honda Pilot Elite

    I felt the same way until I drove it. The transmission along with the engine makes a noticeable difference IMO. The previous gen's 9 speed was a pain point for many. The 10 speed solves those pain points. It also changes the way power is delivered. It's going to feel more responsive when...

    I don't know if The Drive is well regarded in these circles, but this article's subheading caught my attention. The article goes on to corroborate my impressions around ride quality. I'm curious to see what the reviewers are going to say when they get their hands on it for a full review. I hope...

    Mazda CX-90 Turbo Premium Plus vs Honda Pilot Elite

    It's actually a brand new V6 with similar power output but half the emissions. You can check Savagegeese's review 2023 Honda Pilot | How To Fix Forgettable SUVs where they go over the changes to the engine and powertrain in general.

    Mazda CX-90 Turbo Premium Plus vs Honda Pilot Elite

    I test drove the Pilot last weekend and the CX-90 before that. My vote is for the Honda. The Pilot's AWD system is amazing in making the car turn in quicker and feel smaller than it is. I mentioned this somewhere else, but my brain was fooled into thinking I was driving a compact CRV like car...

    FR-S is in the same ballpark as a Miata. I think you'll definitely enjoy the CX-90 if the utility, or lack thereof, is not an issue.

    This video from savagegeese has caused a lot of stir in the Volvo forums. 4 big threads spurred from this video.

    I haven't driven PHEVs yet. I'll probably start test driving them next month. I am warming up to idea of PHEVs. I drove a friend's T6 during a local trip and test drove the B6 XC90. I really like the way it drives, ride quality and handling is good (not sporty but more tuned to feel luxurious)...

    I had almost exactly the same experience! Everyone said it’s a very nice car but seems like it’s riddled with issues. I posted in the XC90 forum about this and they said stick with Mazda, and that I won’t be happy with a Volvo 😅😂.

    That in fact meets all of my criteria except the budget of course 😂. Maybe one day. I do agree that the CX-90 is in the same vein as the X7. The CX-90 is probably better looking in a suave way. The X7 is better in a badass way. I’m keeping an eye out for the X7 CPOs as I expect the 3 year lease...

    Great user name btw 😂 I actually checked out the Pilot and MDX this weekend. The MDX’s second row seats are too low. The pilot uses the same seats but sits a little bit higher and more comfortable IMO. I must say that the pilot’s drive and ride quality is impressive. Seats are comfy. The torque...

    the important thing I've realized is that the decibel readings don't tell the full story. There are some types of noise that will seem louder (more annoying) to the human ear than others types would but have the exact same decibel levels. In short, perceived noise is different from measured...

    Totally agree, I'm going to check out the QX60 soon. QX60 is probably Infiniti's best product although the company seems to be in a troubled spot nowadays. QX60 comes with bench seat with tilt and slide function which is appealing to my needs more than captain chairs or removable middle seat...

    pretty sure it was set to proper pressure. don't get me wrong, the ride is an improvement over the CX-5 and CX-9 (my data point is skewed here since I rented a pretty beat up CX-9 from Avis). however, I'm not sure its enough. It's great if you expect a sporty ride and handling, but not good if...
