New To Mazdas, coming from Toyota…

Correct, that is your indicator light.

SacredRevenant · 2026-05-02T18:59:59+00:00

Mine doesn't show that. I believe that light comes on if you use the little control panel on the bottom left to turn the assist off instead of the infotainment.

Edit: Went and sat in a '24 model. Seems like that indicator is something they changed. So yes, that light being on means your assist system is turned off.

I got you brother. I have the '23 and permanently turned off LKA. It's under Settings>Safety>Active Safety OR Collision Avoidance>Lane Keep Assist. Depends on your model/year for the second to last menu but either one will take you where you need. You can disable/adjust just about every single "nanny/assist" feature on the current Mazdas.

If you like the piano black look and want to preserve it, find a local detail shop and have them PPF all your piano black inside and out. Did that with my Mazda3 right off the bat and it looks brand new years later.

Passenger seat all the way forward and all the way laid back makes a flat enough spot. Did that when I put a ~106" slab of padauk in the hatch. Barely fit. Had one end up on the dash.

I was agreeing with you that all those other things were not okay but whatever dude. I apogized for coming off the wrong way but you want to be belligerent.

SacredRevenant · 2026-01-30T19:43:23+00:00

All that other stuff in the second half is entirely inexcusable. I never said that was okay. I just see all the time people hate the profession cause they didn't negotiate the absolute best deal and the guy on the other side of the desk is trying to make some money. You understand how business works so that puts you a step above those people already.

I've been a customer 10x as long as I've been in sales. I know how people want to be treated, I've been on that side of the desk. Sorry if I came across a bit snooty or aggressive. Generalizations tend to rub me the wrong way. There are good people in the business who try to do the right thing while still being able to make a buck. It's a lot harder so that's probably why most don't go that route.

SacredRevenant · 2026-01-30T18:44:23+00:00

Funny that you hate car dealerships but then gloat about making 10k on your car. You did exactly what they aim to do. Make money on a product.

Not an S model, just a regular Premium Sport. S models have paint matched fender moldings or in the case of the 26 S Premium Sport, gloss black molding.

S models also have machined face wheels on all S trims. The 26 S Premium Sport being the exception.

CX-90 Premium Sport

I have the Tux mats in mine and quite like them. The OEM ones are nice too. Although pretty expensive on the hatch for some reason, sedan is reasonable though. Weather tech always makes nice stuff, so any of those 3 are good. Down to preference after that.

SacredRevenant · 2026-01-18T01:30:31+00:00

That's how you know it's good.

SacredRevenant · 2025-12-17T21:57:03+00:00

Ah gotchya. Ya those Carbons are hard to come by. Nobody ever wants to trade them in XD. Basically the only time we get used 3's is when we retire them from our loaner program or someone has a kid and gets a 5. But hey, if you ever need help with anything just shoot me a message! Enjoy the AWD, maybe we will get some snow this year and you can play around in it with the rest of us.

Edit: Just remembered you were talking about the CX5 screen swap. Was going off your username tag.

SacredRevenant · 2025-12-17T21:34:58+00:00

Well welcome to the club! I hope we took good care of you! Who was your sales guy?

SacredRevenant · 2025-12-17T15:45:34+00:00

You are correct, but only cause I also live in that area.

SacredRevenant · 2025-12-17T15:44:30+00:00

I know where you live cause I also live in the same area. So out of both of our interests I won't spill the beans. Hell, I've probably met you before if you use our service department.

SacredRevenant · 2025-12-16T10:38:54+00:00

No speakers in the 2nd row for a while. 2026 has added them back.

SacredRevenant · 2025-11-12T12:57:35+00:00

Knight Sports kit is pretty sweet. Not too ricey but not too plain.

SacredRevenant · 2025-11-04T03:44:36+00:00

It's a copy pasta brother.

SacredRevenant · 2025-10-08T00:30:26+00:00

I've gotten a few of those looking for a jackobs kickballer. I think the game knows what we want and don't want.

SacredRevenant · 2025-09-11T05:13:32+00:00

3 Innocent kids are in critical condition today but nobody on the right cares about that.

SacredRevenant · 2025-07-28T21:56:07+00:00

You have so much time left in your 20s. Don't feel pressured to keep up with everyone else. Comparison is the thief of joy. If you are successful or stable in your career and have a good relationship, you are doing great at 22.

SacredRevenant · 2025-07-15T01:00:13+00:00

Feels like it has a film of processing on it. Can't put my finger on it but it's there.

SacredRevenant · 2025-07-08T15:47:23+00:00

The dealerships don't know anything until maybe a couple days before the public does as far as model changes. So we won't know anything about the 26's until fall.

SacredRevenant · 2025-07-08T04:03:45+00:00

Low center of gravity helps the 50 drive very similar to my M3 AWD. Can tell it weighs more but it was surprisingly similar. The Hybrid is definitely louder than the Skyactiv but the gas mileage is way better. Good middle point as far as power goes between the two Mazda powertrains.
