Nope, it’s right below it. Haven’t driven one yet. Maybe next rental :)

mazada cx5 is a fantastic car, the interior is a looker and driving experience is awesome, smooth, confortable, fast and confident…. There’s a hack where you don’t need to use the wheel and just use the touch screen oh and could use the full menu whilst driving
Link a brother. Probably won't work on mine, 2021, as it doesn't have a touch screen AFAIK.
 
I got the grand touring. Leather, tons of options, app start/lock. Only thing missing is wireless CarPlay and app rolling up windows.
Yeah, he said they didn't have XM as an option, so he was bummed about that.
 
Sirius instead.
Well, he was told no Sirius/XM at all in it and not avalaible. He has a 2021. He said he has to stream Sirius/XM through the bluetooth from his app on his phone. Maybe he was fed a line of BS?
 
Toyota is probably out after they dicked me on my current car.
They were terrible to deal with when I was looking for another lease. Had a Rav4, had 11k miles after three years, and they didn't want to buy it. Mazda bought it for $2.5k over my payoff if I wanted to buy it. Also, their leases were $150 more for a lesser car. It was a no-brainer to go with Mazda. They're #1 in reliability, highest crash test ratings, and they have great designers. They knocked it out of the park the past few years.

Trying to figure out the CX-30 and CX-5. They look really similar in size and features?

I think they got rid of touch screens in a few or all new 2021 models…I could be wrong

Oh and I’ve been told that the auto up and down for the windows with your key fob could be programmed/switched-on at the dealer, or if you know a Mazda tech/diagnostic guy at a car meet.

I'll ask them about the window rollup from keyfob when I bring in for oil change.
 

USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving.


  1. Mazda MX-5 Miata 73 in 10,000
  2. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 67 in 10,000
  3. Isuzu Rodeo 62 in 10,000
  4. Nissan 370Z. 61 in 10,000
  5. Cadillac ATS. 48 in 10,000
  6. Volkswagen CC 47 in 10,000
  7. Ram 1500. 56 in 10,000
  8. Chevrolet K1500. 46 in 10,000
  9. Saturn L200. 45 in 10,000
  10. Dodge Challenger. 44 out of 10,000
 

 




Accurate, Land Rover drivers are the worst. I don't think I've ever not seen one going 2x the speed limit.
 
I keep adding aftermarket parts for my honda accord on amazon and mishimoto's website and then deleting lol.

I would like to buy my own place in 2022 so I should not be spending money on my car, but I have the itch.
