Next they will take the CX5 to Leguna Secca raceway to see how the CX5 compares........wrong tool for the job imo.
I chuckle seeing CX5's in severe offroad situations. Noone is taking a new CX5 to places like that.....I mean we have complaints about thin red soul paint on CX5's causing small chips, let alone in brush mud conditions in the middle of nowhere. Get a Wrangler for that stuff. Lol
Well being Mazda recommends a rear diff fluid replacement if it gets submerged in water......yea not expecting great things from extended severe off roading.I don't think the transfer case and rear diff can handle this at extended period of time
