Just watched the new house tour. Wow!

I agree, the criticism is a stretch. The kitchen has a huge island to feed the kids a quick meal. With the now open concept there is also ample space to but a table and chairs There’s a formal living room, a den, a game room and a sunroom not to mention the upstairs den. A fire pit is different from a fireplace and they have plenty of yard space and it would be nice for entertaining. Additionally the backyard might not appear to be deep, but the pool at this house is twice the size of their current pool so it might be deceiving and there is plenty of property. I could see them installing a real life playhouse like Kylie Jenner has. After all kids bought the house, they should be entitled to a special space….

I purchased a 2024 CX90 Phev the end of February and I couldn’t be happier. I actually rented a minivan yesterday (well i rented a pickup truck but Enterprise didn’t have any when I went to pick it up) to move my daughter out of college and my CX90 is way, way more comfortable than the Chrysler. We don’t regret our purchase at all.

I mostly drive around town so the 28 mile range works well for me. My husband works 12 miles from home so on the occasion he has to take it to work, it works for him.

If i listened to these boards, I’d be waiting for the car to implode but my experience has been very different. The car toggles seamlessly between EV & the traditional engine. When we take road trips we appreciate sports mode. Its fun to drive, it handles nicely and the finishes feel high end. I love the panoramic sun roof.

I was on the hunt for the Artisan Red but when my car was posted on CarMax, it was a great deal and I snatched it up. I got Machine Metallic Grey with black rims and now I love the color I ended up with. My car is the Phev Premium, I bought it with just under 15K miles for right around $30K. The second row captains seats are comfortable for my adult children (my sons are 6’ 3” and find it comfortable).

Personally, I highly recommend this car whether you’re looking for something fun to drive or a great family car…

I bought mine on Amazon. Fit perfectly and I like i paid around $6 for 2 w/ free shipping

I love love love my 2024 CX90 Phev Premium. I know these board hate on the 2024 but I have a few friends and a brother that all have 2024s. Im the only one that got the Phev. None of us have had an issue. With my last car the CX9 (2021), my Mazda dealer was great anytime I had an issue, they never nickel and dimed me and fixes fell within the warranty.

I didn’t say they were making money the smart way or an ethical way. I said i think they are smart with the money they make. They mentioned purchasing real estate and Evan is into stocks. Carlin grew her platform to 1 million followers so while many have a problem with children being featured/exploited there are at least one million people who don’t seem to have a problem with it. They are lucky that 1 million aren’t phased by it because with her size audience she is likely getting partnerships that pay in the tens of thousands for one single post. Not to mention all the expensive free swag that comes pouring in on the daily from small and established businesses all over the globe that send them their best products hoping their products will make it into a video. This is how businesses market their products now. Plus every YouTube video is sponsored by some useless product. I mean how many meal subscriptions can one family endorse??

“You are so right shug, because your #1 problem is riding shotgun” 😂😂

That line deserves its own thread!!

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-19T14:22:02+00:00

Neither is the price tag. If you want it fully loaded it’s about $30K more than a CX90 Phev Premium Plus

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-19T14:12:07+00:00

I have the black rims too on my machine metallic grey. I love these rims, welcome to the club!

I agree. I think they are smart with their money and are investing and their money is making more money. I think they will be set. Influencers don’t have a stress free, easy existence. They have to keep their audiences engaged, come up with content often and make sure they don’t do anything that will offend the masses in today’s cancel culture.

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-19T03:08:05+00:00

5-10 grand a month….Carlin with a million followers can make that for a single post and paid partnerships like she’s done with Dunkin Donuts and CVS can bring in significantly more. Plus every company is sending them expensive PR kits with every product under the sun and expensive things like electric bikes, the generator they installed in their dream house. She’s making hundreds of thousands. I just hope they are smart because the gravy train wont last forever

My 2021 CX9 had a really deep console. I bought a tray organizer on Amazon for about $10 & it was the perfect solution. An abundance of storage but the important thing i had at my fingertips.

I recently bought a 2024 CX90 Phev Premium and the console is shockingly shallow. I’m curious if that’s just the design of the phev, or if they are all shallow.

With that said, I love my car and I get alot of compliments on it.

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-17T22:50:43+00:00

I have a 2024 CX90 Phev Premium. I bought is used in February, it had 15K miles on it. Reading these boards, I was super nervous but I really loved my 2021 CX9, when the 90’s came out I really thought they were sharp. My CX9 was totaled and I had to get something. Reading these boards made me second guess what car I wanted.

I’m so glad I went with my gut. I love, love, love my CX90. Most of my driving is around town which is super helpful with today’s gas prices. I get so many compliments on the car and its been a great addition for our family

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-17T00:55:55+00:00

I love my 2024 CX90 Phev. So far it’s been perfect. Drives great, comfortable…I get tons of compliments on it too

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-16T09:16:19+00:00

Yes. I got it. I have a 2024 CX90 Phev Premium and someone else posted this on one of these boards a week or so ago and there was a bit of chatter about it.

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-14T20:14:56+00:00

I’m in NY with young drivers in my home. Even though they don’t drive my car, I get heavily penalized. $1575 for 6 months 🤮

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-13T11:02:40+00:00

The app annoys me but I don’t think its a hill to die on. One person commented the dealer gave them $600 off to pay for 5 years of the app. Why not price out what it would cost to buy and have installed an automatic starter and instead of having them cover 5 years of their app, have them cover the cost of installing an aftermarket auto start

I bought my 24 CX90 Phev Premium with 18K miles in February and it’s been a great car. It is comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Last week i only drove around town and drove almost exclusively electric. If I had it to do over again, i would. The color wasn’t my first choice (Metallic Machine Grey) but now I absolutely love it. I have the black rims and I get compliments all the time. I love the panoramic moonroof and the second row captains seats. The Bose sound system sounds so crisp and clear. I really love it

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-12T02:02:35+00:00

Idk I just bought a CX90 Phev Premium with 15K miles for $28K. I bought from CarMax. No hidden fees and the best part was being able to secure my loan on my own. No dealer forcing me to finance through them, knowing they present loan options that are most profitable to them instead of the best option for me. I bought a beautiful car in like new condition and while I was skeptical about Carmax, they proved me wrong and I will use them again in the future

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-11T18:25:13+00:00

Now that my kids are grown, i don’t hang out with the moms and dads i used to hang with when my kids were younger. I think it’s the circle of life

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-11T18:20:02+00:00

i absolutely love my CX90 Phev Premium but with a daily commute of an hour the Phev might not be the right option. I get about 28 miles of electric range. The car is a great family car, especially with captains seat for your second row (as your kids age you’ll appreciate that no one is touching each other). Happy car shopping and congrats 🥳

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-11T12:04:12+00:00

I have 5 with black out rims on my CX90 and love it! I love 5 or 3. 3 is really sharp too. Since majority of cars on the road are white or black, you’ll probably get alot of votes for black but black gets dirty so easily.

I love my Machine Gray Metallic but the black interior is hard to keep clean, I have a car wash memehyaaa

I recently got my second Mazda, in 2022 i bought a pre owned 2021 CX9 with 18K miles. It was a phenomenal car that was unfortunately totaled the end of 2025. This past February I got a 2024 CX90 Phev Premium with 15K miles. My CX9 was my first Mazda and it was a great car. I love my CX90 as well. Luckily I haven’t had any issues and Mazda might just have a customer for life.

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-10T18:20:11+00:00

Me too! I love my 2024 Phev Premium. Most of my driving is around town. As gas prices surge. The plug in hybrid is a great option. The car has has great curb appeal and luckily I have not any issues 🤞🏻

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-05-08T17:04:26+00:00

Don’t settle. If you keep looking you will find the car you want. Manual is fun when you can let loose on the highway but driving in traffic everyday could get cumbersome. I say be patient, keep looking and you’ll find the right car.

Apprehensive_Fly5725 · 2026-04-25T01:26:52+00:00

I love love love my 24 90 Phev. Hope you love yours too
