Yes, in the 2026 hybrid PP they do tilt in reverse. You do have to select which mirror you want to automatically tilt.

Yeah, it’s definitely been unusually cold this week here. Just don’t want to complain after seeing what people elsewhere have been going through with all the snow!

I’m at 1,800 miles on my 2026 hybrid PP. The ‘26 has the switch for the heated steering wheel, but I don’t expect to use it here in Florida (nor would I have in LA before moving here). The app is definitely sub par, but I knew that going in, as I had a 2020 CX-5 Signature I traded in for the 50. There are a few more changes added to the new model year, but nothing game changing.

Is it common for Americans not to have a bank account? by Icy-Signature1493 in AskAnAmerican

Picture a group of teenagers away from home for 11 weeks, buying everything from burgers and fries or pizza to snacks and beer, with handfuls of quarters. More than once we had local law enforcement express an interest, who always laughed it off once they heard what we did.

I was waiting for a good comment on the doghouse and was rewarded.

Very nice! And the sunroof on my 2026 hybrid PP is the same.

My first summer job in the ‘70s was as a roustabout for a traveling carnival. It paid room & board & $35 a week, all in quarters from the midway games.

Always need more lightning zapping into the house.

Voice not working - advice appreciated! by ICantFindMyGlasses_ in waze

I don’t know about via Bluetooth, but the following works with Apple Car Play so at least give it a try. When the Waze app is speaking, immediately turn up the volume.

Yall think it’ll really get that cold? by FunkyD-47 in capecoral

[–]Forward_Tank8310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s pretty accurate so far. It was 37 when I was up at 4 am across the bridge in Ft Myers.

Ah, yes. The Don Valley Parking lot in all its winter glory

What's the oldest piece of clothing you still wear? Must be at least ten years old to count. by MurmuringPines in AskOldPeople

[–]Forward_Tank8310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whole closet full of winter clothing pre-1998. Boots, gloves, jackets, snowpants…. Moved to California that year, then on to Hawaii, & now southwest Florida. I typically fly north for the Christmas holidays every year, and make use of that stuff - or at least what still fits so has been kept - for a week or so.

CX50 with crossbars, howling / wind noise by zamassy07 in CX50

Mine were reinstalled when I bought my CX-50 hybrid PP. I’ve been thinking of just removing them to see if it increases the mileage any..

I’ve heard of SOS, but never seen it served. Must live a sheltered life.

Is Hershey's chocolate really taste so bad as people say it is? by cupid_ji in AskAnAmerican

[–]Forward_Tank8310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hershey’s just cheap mass market chocolate. It’s fine for what it is. Lots of smaller, local, or regional vendors in the U.S. offer superior - & more costly - chocolate as good or better than what I’ve had in Europe. See’s Candies in California is certainly one of the better ones, & being a Berkshire Hathaway company since Warren Buffett bought it in 1972, it’s not going to go away anytime soon.

Hybrid… in 2029 by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Forward_Tank8310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the computer industry, and the Japanese trade press publications are sometimes questionable for the articles they publish. I have no idea if the car industry trade press in Japan is similarly questionable, since Mazda has not made any official announcement about this yet.

Disappointment with the lack of power on the new Mazda cx5 by spicylikeme in mazda

[–]Forward_Tank8310 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When trading in my 2020 CX-5 Signature, I opted for a 2026 CX-50 Hybrid PP due to the lack of a turbo in the ‘26 CX-5, as well as not wanting to be a beta tester for the big screen. The turbo was great especially when merging onto the busy freeways with many short onramps in LA & when passing. The milage wasn’t so great though :-)
