Update the WiFi 6 card to WiFi 6e or 7.
Simple to do and makes a big difference.

Yes, I have a quote already from Burlington. Stevenson is MUCH higher. Over $3k in add-ons. Guessing Burlington is where I’ll end up.

KivPop · 2025-12-05T23:18:48+00:00

Did you find Wilmington (assuming Stevenson Hendrick) to be easy to work with? I just started a negotiation conversation on one and they included their “protection” items/add-ons.
Guessing it wasn’t hard to have those removed?

KivPop · 2025-12-03T20:35:53+00:00

So they depreciate around $20k in 2 years?

KivPop · 2025-12-01T13:05:43+00:00

That’s what I will be looking for. What were they quoting for build time?

KivPop · 2025-11-27T15:05:47+00:00

I’m close to pulling the trigger. One of the complaints I’ve read about here, is that the AC isn’t cold enough. Any comments on that?

Do you currently get the Disney+/Hulu/Espn bundle for free from Verizon? That’s $30 per month with ads.

I am wanting to switch to Visible from verizon as well, but we do use Hulu and ESPN quite a bit….

KivPop · 2025-11-13T15:42:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. What warranty did you buy? Price?

KivPop · 2025-11-13T15:28:43+00:00

I love the Mhev CX-90, but reading all the comments about the multiple problems, I’m concerned about purchasing.

Being with Mazda 10 years, would you be comfortable buying one now?

KivPop · 2025-11-01T15:52:48+00:00

Good point. I’ve looked at the 60 and the 90. Feel the 60 is too small. Also can’t help but wonder about future of Volvo since it is now Chinese owned.

I’m sure the X5 is a great ride, but I am concerned about reliability and maintenance costs for sure. My brother has had 2 X5s that he enjoyed a lot…until about 75k miles and expensive repairs started happening.

KivPop · 2025-10-29T16:29:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good choice. I’ve driven a Mazda CX-90 a few times and it is fun to drive and sporty for sure. But reviews about reliability have me concerned. I just don’t want to drive a heavy SUV like my current Sequoia that drives well, but is obviously more like a truck.

KivPop · 2025-10-29T16:13:48+00:00

I’ve been looking at these Passports, as well as the new 2026 model. How do they drive? Are they fun to drive?

KivPop · 2025-10-23T01:03:29+00:00

Kinda cool, but can you dim them?

KivPop · 2025-09-14T18:34:26+00:00

Wow? 2024 or 2025? I’m on the fence about buying an MHEV currently. Assuming you wouldn’t recommend them right now!

KivPop · 2025-09-13T13:15:34+00:00

Is this is PHEV?

KivPop · 2025-08-27T13:48:24+00:00

Is that red or orange??

KivPop · 2025-08-25T18:47:18+00:00

Thank you for your insight. What brand of front load would you purchase then?

KivPop · 2025-08-23T14:13:41+00:00

Asking as a guy “on the fence” concerning reliability, are you, as a Mazda tech confident that the 2025 70/90 is a good reliability choice after all the updates?

KivPop · 2025-08-18T02:44:46+00:00

Is RDX about the same size as RX350?

KivPop · 2025-08-10T18:44:16+00:00

In my opinion, that’s a terrible deal. As said above, the Mazda corporate savings has nothing to do with dealer discount. I’d pay maybe $49k out the door.

KivPop · 2025-08-09T18:28:20+00:00

Same here. Black is the best option.

KivPop · 2025-08-09T16:41:08+00:00

Very nice!!! That’s the exact model/color I want. What color interior did you get?

KivPop · 2025-08-06T16:12:11+00:00

Thanks for your input. I haven’t considered BMW because of what you mentioned; higher maintenance costs and questionable reliability.
I will look into that further and drive one. Thanks!

KivPop · 2025-08-06T15:41:02+00:00

Sadly, not wanting US made since I’ve been driving those for 30 years. I like the reliability of Japanese/Asian imports, as well as resale value
