CX-9 Touring AWD
Recently test drove an AWD CX-5, while I love the car I can see myself driving the car in manual mode about 75% of the time. I also think if you want any type of decent speed getting from 0-40/50 or passing on the highway the best power from the engine comes around 4K rpms and above. So does anyone have any real time true mpg numbers when driven in manual with a heavy foot. Thanks.
 
i would not expect it to be very good. Sucks mazda didnt give a 6-spd with the AWD version i would have jumped on it.
 
I have a manual AWD (175PS), best acceleration is from around 2000rpm as this is when the turbo kicks in!.... this is for a Diesel though!
