Okay, so...changing direction. I took my CX5 through some fast moving water. I saw a 05 model looking Pilot go through it and the water was ALMOST at the underside of it. It has 8" of clearance while the 2019 GTR CX5 has 7.5. I saw air under the pilot the whole way. Barely. So I went. It did 100% fine, however, I remember the debacle that was my 2015 when I crossed water. The rear diff had a "breather cap" in the form of a solid mechanical 1 way valve that operated very VERY primitively. It sucked water in and torpedoed the diff. $2800 (Thanks, Mazda, again, for picking up the tab...why I bought another).
Anyway, the 2019 GT-R diff is 100% sealed and has a breather tube on top as the good lort intended, instead of a rattily "valve cap" type apparatus. The diff fluid was fine, btw, $119 to change it so whatever. Peace of mind. THe diff and transfer case are "service only if submerged" per the manual. Neither were, I'm just paranoid. Anyway, bravo Mazda for fixing a shitty design from the Gen 1.
My AWD light came on the other day, and my AWD was subsequently not working at all. A trip to the dealer resulted in the finding of several "weird" non-functional "gear ratio" codes (what I was told). A new diff was ordered from Mazda, and the entire rear diff was replaced. Upon failure...

The longer I own this car, the more I drive it, the more it really grows on me. Killing a 2015 Camaro RS from a roll was kindof a highlight too, I might add, lol! It's an actual semi-performance option in a sea of mediocre appliances.
