    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    I bought the car with extended warrenty ... but if I were to do it again I would not because it covers the car up to 7 years or 100K ... and if a Japanese car brand cant survive 7 years or 100K without major issue I'll never buy that brand again for life.

    What did you trade-in for your '17 or '18?

    Because driving manual is fun ... so much fun you only watch the tach instead of the spedo. I much rather go home after work in the slow lane with an Auto than in the fast lane with a manual. Maybe I am just getting OLD and haven't driven manual in over a decade... I guess I have First...

    If you could change one thing...

    The front seats ... or at least an OPTION to UPGRADE to better bucket style seats which supports better. I sat in a Lexus and a Genesis and those seats were great... I don't mind checking an option box of $2,000 for an option package for much better seats.

    FWD vs AWD??

    AWD because the Mazda AWD penalty is not nearly as bad as I was thinking initially ... While I typically get 22-23mpg on my short commute to work... I was able to get 32 mpg average on my longer trip (50 miles) to San Jose from San Francisco.

    What did you trade-in for your '17 or '18?

    A 2015 Subaru WRX for my 2017 CX-5 AWD ... MY insurance is too damn high @ $225 monthly. Not because of me but of OTHER WRX drivers driving up the price of insurance in general. (drive2) (five-0)

Mazda Hybrid will be a CUV and Rotary range extender ... but it probably Won't have AWD but FF due to packaging The vehicle should be SIZE wise something in between the CX-3 and CX-5 ....

    I built a similar system to yours like a decade ago ... but I only overclocked to 3.4ghz since I only do air cool. My Living room system is a Ryzen 5 1600x with RX470 Gpu

    New to the MAZDA crew

    The Mazda Team is good in an OCD kinda way ... I dare to say the CX-5 driven in Sport mode is On-par with the 2015 WRX I had traded in for normal everyday driving... Since the car while in Sport mode is always in PowerBand it feels more powerful when you need to merge into the freeway in dense...
