Certainly killed any desire I had to buy a turbo CX5.This thread keeps reminding me of one of the big reasons I traded for a RAV4. I am not yet in the single digits here, but I am pretty sure I will suffer zero power retarding. Mazda comes SO close to perfect. I think this may be their biggest fail that I experienced with my GT Reserve.
Yeah. I could rip the $7500 tax deduction out of my Prime, and sell it for 5k over sticker that I paid, and then walk into a cx5 sig 2022 fpr msrp and 5k down, and chop $150-200/mo off my payments. ..but screw that. I don't want one. Not after owning this.Certainly killed any desire I had to buy a turbo CX5.
The bigger problems to me is the potential coolant leak and excessive oil consumption happening to many 2.5T’s right now.Certainly killed any desire I had to buy a turbo CX5.
Really? I have not heard of this issue.The bigger problems to me is the potential coolant leak and excessive oil consumption happening to many 2.5T’s right now.
There is a consumption issue. Valve problems. Mazda corporate is aware. No fix is out. Mazda has issues, imo. Back to the topic as requested, Id be very curious if the 2022 models with the hp bump to 256 on 93 got this issue quietly sorted.I haven't heard much about any oil consumption issues, but there is a dedicated thread for the coolant leak issue (with a link to a TSB available).
Keep the thread on topic please.

Those are beastly! Drop a review when you get it!Today I finally solved the issue I was having with cold weather acceleration………….. I ordered a ‘22 BMW X3 M40i.
Yea, sure you would.I'd still run it from a moderate speed roll in my RAV4 Gotta pick my victories where I can find them, rofl!

So far it's done fine against and SRT8 and STi from a roll (about equal with both, except the STI hit it in 3rd with full boost, and jumped 2.75 cars or so before I arrested his pull.)Yea, sure you would.
Keep the thread on topic please.
I genuinely apologize for reviving this heated discussion but I'm about to get a CE AWD Turbo and I stumbled upon the older threads about the loss of power in the turbos in cold weather. Tried really hard to answer my own question but couldn't find anything specific about 2021 models having this problem. Can anyone verify that the 2021 turbos also have issues with turbo power in the cold? Thanks!
