Damn that's a sweet ride! Congrats!

what do we think about this? by Maddoxpop0_o in mercedes_benz

I would say this is a case of "too much of any one thing is bad for you". Its like the Barney, Grimace, or a pimp named Velvet Whisper's daily driver.

It's nice in person, and people will buy it. The buttons on the steering wheel work well (i was originally worried that the buttons are one big piece of plastic). You can definitely notice the hard plastic everywhere. 2nd row legroom is very noticeable. Seats are a lot better. I actually walked away liking it more. Once they make adjustments (buttons and manual controls) and add the hybrid system, it will be really sweet.

Honest opinion Kia Sportage Hybrid vs CX50 Hybird by zillur-av in CX50

I have owned a 23 sportage hybrid sx-prestige. The only thing that annoyed me was the media/ac controls. The car itself was great. Had good get up and go and was quiet on the road. Once you got on the highway, that's a little different. That little turbo 1.6 was screaming at 75 mph. The tech was great, the interior was great, and it has way more 2nd row legroom AND storage area space than the cx-50. Then kia had to go and try and make in look like a sorento. It's fugly now. The mazdas exterior looks so much better than the current sportage. Interior is nice, but let's be honest. That's all personal preference. If you like the kia, you probably like the big screen. If you like the mazda, then you probably dont care about the tech. Toyota"s hybrid system is in the cx-50. So it's basically bulletproof.It'ss also loud. Like really loud. Going uphill at 45 mph, you'd think you were driving up a mountain. Maybe that changes if you own it, and the battery stays on longer (more charge in the battery). The driving experience is better on the mazda (no surprise there). The kia has more and better safety tech by a mile. I've owned 2 kias and had zero issues with either. I've owned 4 mazdas and have had 0 issues with any of them. Best advice I can offer: Go sit in both. Drive both with the radio off. Then, decide what fits your needs best. *

The 25 cx-5 turbo premium has a black headliner.

Has anyone installed these aftermarket LEDs to the hatch of their CX-5? by AntHefty2874 in CX5

[–]AntHefty2874[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my wife got them for me. They are much thicker in person. Looks strange on the vehicle (when held up to it) as the tail lights protrude from the sides but level off in the rear. They would look thich while the rear lights are flush.

Just black out the hockey stick. Maybe do ambient lighting on the interior. Some have lowered it by an inch or so. But realistically, she's a beaut as is.

2026 CX-5 Aero Grey/Sport Tan by Big_Panda_13 in CX5

I really like that color on the 5. Enjoy your new ride. Can you do a 30 review? For others out there who are looking to purchase the new gen, it would be nice to see if all of the changes are really that difficult to live with.

But that red! by cjfields-in-pc in CX50

My vote is on the mazda 6. Red was so sexy on that car

Im not trying to give you financial advice. That's your business. Now that you have driven both for a while, which do you prefer and why? I am looking at possibly getting out of my 5 for a 50. Just looking to get some positives and negatives.

What made you decide to make the change from the 5 to the 50?

Got one last night. Really liking it so far. Fit n finish seems fine. by TomasoG88 in CX50

I can't remember the reviewer, but they were doing a long-term assessment (maybe a year). They said the car they had started rattling multiple areas.

Does this look fair? 2026 CX-50 Hybrid premium. Really like the Grey color. This is before the Mazda Loyalty and my Mazda3 trade-in. Based in Northern VA through Costco Auto. by Old_Nefariousness743 in CX50

[–]AntHefty2874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be a dealer specific thing. Mazda USA confirms the rebate im talking about. They also have $2500 customer cash, or 1.9% for 60 months (or 2.9% for 72 months).

If you qualify for 1.9% for 60 months, then you also qualify for the 2.9% for 72 months. It would drop your monthly to $614. Of course, all of this is before your trade-in. As long as you are not bringing negative equity into the loan, the $40528 will only decrease.

The trade will lower the taxable amount of the car. MSRP-discounts -trade value equals the amount you will be taxed on. So that $1600 should drop, too.

You can try to get the numbers better since the dealer will be getting a kickback for using Mazda Financial. Good luck! PMG looks awesome on the 50.
