New CX-50 owner

Good morning!

New owner of 2026 CX-50 preferred, in ingot blue. This replaced a 2020 Hyundai Sonata sel plus. Been awhile since I’ve owned a small (this is pretty substantial in size)utility vehicle.

I researched this purchase more than any car I’ve ever purchased. I had to be very persistent with sales and service people at multiple dealerships regarding cylinder deactivation feature. Nobody knew what I was talking about, and I finally was able to get the confirmation that I wanted. I did not want that feature and was drawn to the brand because of many consumer reports and reviews.

I will be 68 in August and am hoping this vehicle will will see me well into my remaining driving years.

Serra Mazda in Akron/Green was fairly pleasant to deal with.

But doesn't the (S) Preferred have cylinder deactivation like all the non-turbo 2.5s?

So far enjoying very much, definitely love the color, my last five vehicles were silver.

Enjoying the change. Have gotten fairly adept at the infotainment features and scroll dial. The body lines remind me of British utility vehicles for the gentleman land owner especially in the dark Ingot blue.

I may break out my tweed sport coat.
