- Mazda CX-5
Hi everyone, got my new Mazda CX-5 last week and am loving it throughly, and I don't mean that lightly... it's been 31 years since I owned a vehicle and my choice was clear, a properly and intelligently design vehicle that has style and great gas millage, the Mazda CX-5. After all I wouldn't just pick any vehicle given the importance of the occasion, and had been researching for over a year preparing for the day.
The last vehicle I owned was an olive Ford Galaxie 2 door and I parted ways with it in 1981 while in college.
Well I'm am loving the new cross-over. The lane change feature has already helped me once, and apparently there's an automatic horn sound if the vehicle is in drive and someone runs in front, as happened at a red light when a guy selling water found out. (Is it true that the horn will sound? or am I mistaken)...
I've also added a BlackVue BlackBox camera 400-G, HD, that also has a recording mode when the CX-5 is parked, although I don't leave it plugged in overnight for fear of the car battery draining, it's good when out and about. It plugs into the cig lighter, so isn't complicated, and the wires are easy to hide in the CX-5 while the camera itself is small and stays hidden behind the mirror (but away from the light sensor in the mirror).
Anyway, glad to be a part of a new community.
(oops, maybe post should be in the welcome board? move if you'd like)
