Ok. So how does that affect my decision to use sport mode?…
No, it affects the fuel you choose and whether you want full power at part throttle/mid rpm acceleration or not.

It's up to the user to determine the responsible way to use their vehicle. A lengthy learning process is required, to understand how the very vehicle which you drive was programmed to operate the way it does.Ok. So how does that affect my decision to use sport mode? Sounds like Mazda engineered the system to manage that already. If as you say we're all getting occasional knock, then they wouldn't give us modes in the first place, if they were detrimental.
The sport mode, like the regular driving mode was developed by excellent engineers who know what they are doing.If you're afraid sport mode may damage your car, maybe modern cars aren't for you.
Imagine all those old cars without "modes"...
I don't really use sport mode for fun--see my above post on its uses.I don't know that I've ever used Sport mode on purpose in my CX-5 - I use manual mode in the snow, but that's about it. I take the '91 Miata if I want to drive for fun.
Lol, I was just thinking, a proper sport mode be your ability to shift a gear and flick the clutch.Sport mode was invented for people who never experienced a manual transmission.
Kind of agree on the comparison; it basically ensures you're more likely in the right gear at the right time so that your engine doesn't bog down against a transmission which is being far too conservative in its tuning. That is nice when taking a turn onto a cross street, when coming down a hill, or going straight through a series of cross streets where you'll accelerate, brake in case of traffic, accelerate, brake in case of traffic, and would otherwise bog down each time.Sport mode was invented for people who never experienced a manual transmission.
It is primarily the quality of the combustion process (or lack thereof) Which the AT is tuned so conservatively for.Kind of agree on the comparison; it basically ensures you're more likely in the right gear at the right time so that your engine doesn't bog down against a transmission which is being far too conservative in its tuning.

Did you have previously a manual transmission CX-5?Oh, believe me, if Mazda would sell CX-5 with manual transmission in US, I would buy it yesterday!
Do you have a source for this? Because I seriously doubt it.It is primarily the quality of the combustion process (or lack thereof) Which the AT is tuned so conservatively for.
There's a case for paddle shifters, if your model has them.My sport mode works great in all gears but it won't make the 3-4 shift till 42mph so if I am stuck behind someone doing 40 I have to go back to D to get it to shift. Otherwise this tranny/engine combo is flawless.
Again, your questions and lack of awareness will be answered with some data logging. If you're interested, try it.Do you have a source for this? Because I seriously doubt it.
No, I did not but I grew up in a country where manual transmission is standard and I'd prefer a manual transmission CX-5. If possible.Did you have previously a manual transmission CX-5?
Data logging or not, you're making the case that we can't/shouldn't use a MT with these engines. It just doesn't make sense. The engines are tuned conservatively so no one blows them up and they leave power on the table.Again, your questions and lack of awareness will be answered with some data logging.

It's primarily due to efficiency. These cars are for efficiency.Data logging or not, you're making the case that we can't/shouldn't use a MT with these engines. It just doesn't make sense. The engines are tuned conservatively so no one blows them up and they leave power on the table.
