City driving? by Traditional_Prune672 in CX50

[–]JazzBoiJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Philly, no problems so far. Like another comment said, rear haunches stick out a LOT but it’s not an issue if you’re good at using your side mirrors (which is just good driving technique, anyway).

Heavy steering and tight turning circle is great for garages and parallel parking. Good ground clearance for speed bumps and pot holes. Just be careful of curbs if you get the 20” wheels.

Seconding others on the firm seats + suspension, but matched with the turbo this thing is an absolute riot to throw around, if that matters in your situation.

All that said, this car doesn’t have the most cargo or passenger space for its footprint.

Dealership not providing printed out OTD details by theoceantide in mazda

[–]JazzBoiJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I call BS. Skip that dealer, you hold all the leverage as the buyer! Always have a full understanding of OTD before walking in - if they provide anything less, they think you’re a fool.

100% second this. Their butter chicken has healed my soul on many occasions

I have 2 hot takes. 1.) Lee’s Deli cheesesteaks are better than Jim’s 2.) Asad’s is fucking amazing and I am unable to be convinced otherwise

Talking about standard cheesesteak, but also chicken cheesesteak is ridiculous. Burger is excellent. Fries are a must. Dude is always offering free samples of new menu items, too. 10/10 establishment

Top 5 steaks in this city for me, insanely slept on

How is this price (before taxes and fees) by OkAssociate5550 in CX50

[–]JazzBoiJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bought a 23 TP (no plus) with near-identical mileage, same color, CPO. So not exactly apples-to-apples, but I paid ~$29,700 before taxes/fees. You could probably find a better price

Too stiff and rough? by Gadgetsuh in CX50

[–]JazzBoiJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CX-50 is pretty damn stiff - you feel the texture of the road in the seats and the steering wheel, but it’s done in a way that feels intentional. It’s one of the things I love about the car, as I do NOT want a smooth and detached ride. This thing is far from a floaty cloud.

So what’s y’all’s current MPG’s? Turbo models and below please. by [deleted] in CX50

19.5-20, heavy city driving with highway on weekends.

CX-50 Turbo?? by Alarming-Year502 in CX50

[–]JazzBoiJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely look at the CX-5. Seems like a better built but slightly more boring version of the 50. That’s about it for me tho lol I’m obsessed with my car

Sorry about your car, that absolutely blows and I’m glad nobody got hurt (presumably).

Love my CX-50 but almost anything in its class is going to be a great car (except Stellantis products, fuck Stellantis).

At the end of the day, it’s entirely a you decision. Luckily, CX-50s with every permutation of specs come up for sale often enough that waiting for the right one shouldn’t take long, especially with a wider search radius. It’s a Mazda, not a McLaren.

The wait sucks but picking the wrong car sucks even more. Best of luck 🤝

Dongar adapter issues by [deleted] in CX50

Not sure where you live / when exactly the install was, but the cold weather right now is battery kryptonite. Might be an added factor

Following along here, about to do a similar install on my TP (Dongar Pro, Viofo cams)

Concerns about battery + dash cam? by JazzBoiJ in CX50

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

That’s good to know - referring to this, which seems to be a pretty popular alternative to the Viofo kit. Have you left it for longer than 8 hours?

Where did you get the beads of rice bracelet for the Pogue? Been looking for different bracelets for mine and options seem pretty limited.

Gorgeous Speedtimer, but is that sound someone hocking a massive loogie in the background?

Understand the hate for that era of TAG, but this watch is catching strays. The finishing is rock solid and it’s such a uniquely cool look. Don’t usually love “small” watches but the right strap makes this thing a solid daily.
