    Side to Side Swiveling Headlights

    Perhaps in Europe or Asia, but the adaptive front lighting system in US cars still swivel side to side depending on steering angle and speed: aka AFS - adaptive front-lighting system. What youre describing is ALH - adaptive LED headlight. Which isnt really specific and super confusing, to say...

    CX-5 Adaptive Headlights - Jumpy / Jittery

    My 16 with tech package has the adaptive headlights which turn with the steering. Upon startup, the headlights do a quick sweep up/down and side to side. However, the movement is quick and smooth. When driving and the lights turn, they do so in a stepped manner, which make them look slightly...

    2017~2024 Buying Rental. Good or bad?

    Run away from previous rental cars. They might be maintained correctly, but not cared for.

    Would you rather...

    I'd say the rental was probably treated worse.

    Auto Dimming Exterior Side Mirrors

    Aim the side mirrors so they don't line up with the side of your car but rather, continues from where the middle mirror ends. This helps quite a bit and basically eliminates your blind spot.

    What's the best colour in your honest opinion?

    It was down to The gray or titanium. I was actually leaning toward titanium until the words 'poopy brown' started showing up in conversations between my wife and I.

    Kindof a sad day.

    You can smile all the way when you realize the Avenger is a complete POS. In the end, it's about having fun with your car. I love taking offramps quickly in the CX-5, not many other SUV/crossovers can keep up. The trick/fun is not losing speed. And if I *really* wanna have fun, that's what the...

    GT with Tech or Touring with Sunroof package + Tech ?

    Had the same dilemma when I looked for a CX-5. Didn't care much about the larger wheels nor leather. Was able to find the exact Touring + Tech at a dealer 45 minutes away so I went with that. Not a common/popular combo, to be sure.

    IIHS ranks Mazda #1 in Small SUV Headlights

    I think the main reason the LED CX-5 didn't get the same score as the -3 is due to the glare.

    RPM max in auto

    To be fair, the family sedan will have much lower drag. If you cruise at 80mph+, that'll easily explain it.

    Mazda Being Sold off to Toyota?

    I'd rather a shorter warranty period than a Mazda product that's been Toyota-fied. If Toyota is willing to leave Mazda be with R&D and just Inject capital to increase production, I wouldn't mind so much. Pull TMG out of WEC and let Mazda attack LMP1-H with some sort of spiritual successor to...

    Mazda Being Sold off to Toyota?

    I think Mazda is more 'fun' than Scion. Funky, sure, but not nearly as fun. FR-S being the exception.

    Interesting Features now available

    It has a 6-speed. With 310lb of torque on tap, it doesn't really need any more gears, to be honest. Insta-torque, no waiting for downshifting.

    Comparing my 2016 GT to my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk

    Enjoy the Jeep, it should be quite good for offroading. You're definitely giving up on-road handling, and reliability to the Mazda though.
