What's up Mazda family okay I have to vent! Because I'm a little late to the show but I just found out how Mazda does his trim levels completely different from everybody else! Long story short my wife and I went to a Mazda dealership she wanted another cx50, but they showed us the cx-90 premium plus! My goodness that car was so gorgeous, but I don't really like all the Chrome, and they had the white seats in it we have dogs in a small kid, so we knew those white seats were not going to stay white for long. So they showed us the fully loaded 25' Premium Sport soul crystal red and that was it we fell in love with it. Now almost a year and a half later one of my co-workers gets a 26 Premium Plus cx90, and Parks it beside mine 🤬 I was actually mad and blown away how much different and better the premium plus was! None of that cheap plastic going around the body, everything literally everything in it just felt completely better and now "Premium" then it had more features than my fully loaded premium sport LOL. So I went back to the dealership I'm curiosity and wanted to see a 25 premium plus and long behold the same damn thing! The dealer told me the premium plus is actually the top of the line model. We also have a Yukon Denali sport, which means it's the same as that features but just more sporty looking and blacked out, where Mazda because I wanted black seats just basically jipped the sport owners from the premium luxury. Okay that's it LOL I guess next time I should do my research better LMFAO 🤣🤣😭

The infotainment in my 2021 6 is so terribly slow it takes a minute or two to boot up and detect android auto. Sometimes when it detects I have to press play 6-10 times on my phone before I get any sound or I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Cable is an anker powerline 2 USB 3.1 Gen 2.

I recently rented a 2021 Honda CRV and it detected and played android auto from the same phone in a few seconds, different cable though.

Basically a brand new car. Barely use the back seat and just discovered the lining completely off

Do you prefer/want/need to have physical buttons in your Mazda for basic features such as the AC, or you'll be fine with a touchscreen only?

There's no option for poll, so just type one of the two:

1. "Physical buttons"
   
2. "Touchscreen"

Do you think they’ll add any additions to the top trim like 360 camera and lane centering that the turbo premium plus has?

I have the feeling that all new cars have only touchscreens and fewer physical buttons.

Do you think it costs less to produce touchscreens (even if they are massive) than a smaller screen with buttons like in our Mazda?

I’m handy. I enjoy wrenching on my older vehicles and generally do my own maintenance. This being a ‘23 tho, should I do it myself? Is there any reason I cant or anything to look out for? Looking for some guidance. Thanks in advance.

Guys I’m a 22 year old teenager with no family to help with these kinda things. This is what I narrowed down my search too, please help me choose by tomorrow morning!

2024 Select CPO — $25,000 / 18,655 mi
white with black fabric seats

2024 Select Sport — $24,800 / 13,082 mi
black with black leather seats

2023 Preferred — $24,000 / 23,232 mi
black with black leather seats

2023 Turbo Premium — $23,500 / 47,481 mi
white with black leather seats

These are all OTD prices that can’t be negotiated further. I live in the south where it’s hot pretty much 9 months of the year so I’d prefer white but also hot is hot so IDK how much car color matters in that respect. Black looks super sleek and beautiful to me but it shows all dirt, scratches, swirls, dust, and pollen… while white looks pretty even when it’s not freshly washed.

This is the ranking AI gave me after feeding it the CarFax for each vehicle and OTD price from the dealers and the ranking was extremely close between the top 3 with the fourth option being at the bottom of a larger 10 car list. I’m just having a hard time listening to it though because I cant get the color off my mind and preference for leather seats. I truly don’t care about stuff like a moonroof or power seats that much. What would you guys do?

The night I drove her home from the car lot.

I often catch myself looking back at her as I walk away.

How long will it be till I stop doing this?

Probably the closest thing to a brand new car Ill ever buy, only 16 000km.

Usually I look at older models to find the right combination of what Im looking for, but these finally came in the right price range and I couldnt pass on that one.

I was interested in getting a Mazda cx5 because it seems like a perfect suv to own. My only issue is that I heard the second row isn’t too spacious and that these cars “melt”?? I’m from tx so I really need a spacious suv under 50k that’s going to hold up. Any recommendations?

Thinking of buying this used 2020 Mazda CX5 but the brakes are spongy and not as responsive as I think they should be. I thought maybe it'll be something like flushing brake fluids or a leaking master cylinder that needs to get fixed. My friend tells me that finding a mechanic that can fix the brakes in a cx5 is gonna be hard and it'll take a very long time for them to figure it out. I'm not gonna lie, I fell in love with the car but I also need something to drive quickly so I'll ask the people that know about Mazda cx5 best.

Is diagnosing what's wrong with the brakes in cx5 usually a long process? What should I expect to pay to get it fixed. I'm in the Atlanta area.
