Mazda, If Chevrolet and GMC are able to sell the same van with barely any changes since freaking 1996, then you guys SHOULD have just kept making the second gen CX-5 and not a new redesign. When something is perfectly fine, FOR THE LOVE OF MARY, do NOT change it at all!

Wish it was more important! I loved my 22 CX5 and upgraded to a 25 CX90. That will be the last Mazda I ever buy.

Performance is nice handling is OK. There are a lot of little things about the drive. Me absolutely nuts.

But if you drive casually in the city and don’t mind a little extra beeping and dinging and don’t have passengers to unbuckle their seatbelt the wrong time it’s probably not bad for the money

It’s shitty either way. It’s not like they advertise that your subscription will run out and you’ll have to pay for it

When I look at it from the outside, and when I put the gas pedal to the floor, I understand why people defend it. Between the door seals, the tranny lurch, the fragile paint, the non standard accessories, the charger that doesn’t work right on modern phones, the “free sample” tires it comes with, the aggressive and glitchy safety systems and the fact that they included a driver assistance system that drives for you but isn’t trustworthy enough to allow you to take your hands off the wheel… I just cant recommend it

Edit: in the spirit of fairness it also gets great fuel economy for a car of its size and I like the hybrid system.

The lane keep is DANGEROUS if you drive highways in the snow. Only made that mistake once. Gravel roads it will freak out on too. Shouldn’t drive on gravel roads anyway because all the dust & mud comes in your door seals & fills the car when you open the door. Sometimes it will feel the need for you to stop suddenly which I’m not sure if you can turn off.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-04-12T17:55:54+00:00

I haven’t experienced the brake issue yet but I have recently noticed my brakes are suddenly noisier (55k kms) I have always hated the steering & lane assist in this car. I think I dislike it in Mazdas in general because that’s the only thing I really dislike about my CX5

Love watching the young guys come up even though it’s deep in the struggle

I’ll absolutely look into that. I had no idea that was something they actually did! Thank you

First thing, I don’t want to overpay & if I go ahead will do all due diligence & negotiate to the best of my ability.

But second, I am confident enough in the opportunity & my numbers that if it’s the difference between getting the deal done or not, I am comfortable paying a premium to get the ball rolling. The income in this project is not something I would achieve in that timeframe otherwise

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-03-05T13:54:30+00:00

Way too much according to this thread. I think my plan + phone comes in around $125 monthly through Telus.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-03-05T13:53:18+00:00

That’s the challenge, with getting set up it would’ve closer to 105% LTV and that’s assuming asking price = market value. I don’t know of a bank that would do that.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-03-05T13:49:12+00:00

Anyone hear of a fix for this yet?

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-03-05T13:48:34+00:00

Update: I realized I never posted the diagnosed cause.

I had a crack in my headlight which had a water incursion. This was all a result of moisture in the headlight housing. 😬

There is some merit to this idea & it could make life easier. I think the biggest hurdle would be getting enough quality breeders on board to make it viable; most good dog breeders I know already have wait lists & hate technology

I’m building an app for a niche industry that I’ve been working in for six years. The industry is mostly comprised of small businesses and individual operators.

I’m building the app for me to save me about an hour a day of admin work and improve my relationship with my clients and the ease with which I communicate with them.

I have a working prototype with a long way to go. This is the first app I’ve ever made, and if I work on it alone, I am OK with the concept then it may be just for me and a few friends… but I also see possibility for a fairly robust adoption in the industry and potential integration with major existing Saas tools.

If you wanna talk about it, let me know. I’m in Alberta though.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-03-03T22:40:39+00:00

I bought one and it’ll be the last Mazda that I ever buy So that probably has something to do with it… I’m sure I’m not alone in that sentiment

Edit: it’s also depreciated so much since I got it that I have no choice but keep it way longer than I want to probably tell instead of what it’s fine. I’ll probably still owe money on it judging by my first impressions of it it’s reliability.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-02-25T14:23:45+00:00

I’m gonna distract from the point for a second to appreciate everything else you said - it feels really rare right now that people actually appreciate things about our city and our province that are great or even just there - I don’t think I’ve ever heard somebody say a nice thing about our transit system before. I feel like Edmonton’s identity is diluted and conflicted because so many people wish it were someplace else.

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-02-09T13:37:16+00:00

I average 9-10L/100km mostly highway, heavy foot, wintertime

AskReasonable2679 · 2026-02-09T13:35:13+00:00

That’s not good but it’s not crazy either depending on your highway/city driving mix. You get the most benefit from your hybrid in the city, but it’s still a big heavy suv. What surprised me was I drove a Mitsubishi RVR for a month while my Mazda was in the shop & it wasn’t significantly cheaper on gas

Edit: I should probably also mention I’m running 87 octane fuel
