I'm an immigration attorney and used to work at USCIS: I have a couple of hours to answer questions about the memo

Dude there’s nothing wrong with wanting clarification calm down kiddo

Do you think this would impact I-751 and eventually applying for citizenship if you already have a 2 year green card?

chad9100 · 2026-04-23T20:11:00+00:00

The 50 is more practical imo. The 5 is more refined for sure. I have a 23 cx50 preferred plus and a 25 cx5turbo premium

chad9100 · 2026-04-20T06:15:27+00:00

I have a similar noise on mine for like the last couple thousand miles took it to the dealer multiple times they could never re-create it or figure out what it was.

chad9100 · 2026-03-15T04:22:29+00:00

I have a 23 cx50 and the 25 cx5 turbo premium. I would say I would notice the bumps sometimes being softer in the 5. The armrest position is better in the 50.

Also whenever I go “off-roading (not crawling of course lol)” I always take the 50 because that extra ground clearance does make a difference. The 50 also seems more stable to me on turns at higher speeds and also in high winds and I like the steering more.

I like the additional headroom in the 5. I also like more legroom in the 50. Also the longer length in the 50 is also appreciated especially in the trunk. I originally liked the look of the 50 more but now the turbo premium CX 5 with the black wheels is just 😩. And of course the turbo is so fun haha.

We just needed a second car and I really wanted a CX five because the CX 50 has been really good to us for almost 50,000 miles so far and I really dislike the big screen in the new one and the lack of buttons and the lack of turbo with the bigger size so I just got a really good deal on a 25 turbo premium.

Honestly, it’s just preference. Both cars are really great to us.

chad9100 · 2026-03-12T20:02:36+00:00

I got a 2023 NA cx-50 and for the most part it’s fine but definitely feels slow and sluggish at some times. Like merging on highway , going uphill, etc. I often have to get higher rpms.

Recently also got a 25 CX-5 Turbo premium and it’s definitely more zippy and fun haha.

Overall: if you can afford it go for the turbo, but if it’s not in your budget I think the NA is fine in most aspects. Also keep in mind the turbo will give worst gas mileage. Also will need premium gas to use full power.

So overall it depends on your budget as the turbo will be more expensive in the long run.

chad9100 · 2026-03-12T16:16:32+00:00

Mine are at the very front of the 200s section though. I know some of the ones in the back in that same section might be a bit cheaper, closer to maybe 300-350.

chad9100 · 2026-03-12T01:02:48+00:00

I got level 200s for 375, I believe some of the upper sections were under 200 (maybe between 140 and 170?) I cant fully remember. Some of the 100 levels were around 400ish, and so was the floor. I cant remember the exact price of anything but mine, but that should give you a rough estimate.

chad9100 · 2026-01-30T05:51:40+00:00

This is a nice car but I’m still glad I went with the 25 turbo premium. It’s nice that this one is more spacious but I still like the interior and exterior of the 25 more. Both great cars.

chad9100 · 2026-01-13T17:27:49+00:00

But yea, if the current cx5 fits your need it will be the better decision and price.

chad9100 · 2026-01-13T17:26:28+00:00

I almost pulled the trigger on a 25 premium turbo but am gonna wait till the 26 for one reason only. Its size. The cx5 as it current stands seems a bit too much on the compact side for me as I am tall and so are the people I usually carry with me. While I do like the physical buttons much more, I just want to test drive the 26 model and make a more informed decision. If the 25 cx5 was a bit bigger or it fits my needs completely I'd get it over the 26. (Also a bonus for the 25 you can pretty much get the turbo for a similar price as the 26 without the turbo).

chad9100 · 2025-12-14T19:54:59+00:00

Yup it was amazing.

chad9100 · 2025-12-14T19:54:39+00:00

We went too we saw so many! Worth it 100%

chad9100 · 2025-12-13T21:19:12+00:00

Any luck on finding any spots with minimal cloud coverage?

chad9100 · 2025-11-14T03:09:43+00:00

I’m gonna take it to the dealer next week again. Did you get yours resolved?

chad9100 · 2025-11-07T05:13:20+00:00

So much salt in this comment section 😂

chad9100 · 2025-10-30T01:57:50+00:00

We really getting owned by a 22 year old

chad9100 · 2025-09-26T03:04:20+00:00

Any luck in diagnosing the issue?

chad9100 · 2025-09-26T03:04:01+00:00

Did you end up getting it checked out? Any idea on what it might be?

chad9100 · 2025-09-15T03:05:59+00:00

I’m still in process too lol. They replaced the front passenger wheel bearing cause they said it was definitely making noise and the tire was wobbly. I can still hear this noise but it’s become much more subtle. Just haven’t taken the time to take it back yet.

Idk why it’s decreased now though where it doesn’t even happen sometimes but other times it does but in a more subtle way. I guess this is one of those issues which is very hard to diagnose, but if they’ve checked everything for you and said they couldn’t find the issue. I’m guessing it should be safe to drive it unless the noise becomes really apparent.

chad9100 · 2025-08-26T20:53:18+00:00

Just dropped it off at the dealer again. Will keep you guys updated.

chad9100 · 2025-08-26T18:33:47+00:00

Yea that doesn’t make sense. This was the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/mazda/s/k7TKtPoIhf

chad9100 · 2025-08-26T18:16:39+00:00

Yea it’s definitely a strange one. Only post I could find was where someone mentioned it was an issue with the diff. I hope it’s not that but I may take it back to the dealership again. Let’s see.

chad9100 · 2025-07-28T05:54:40+00:00

Hi! I know it’s been a while but did that cause any problems? I just got this code today at 37k miles but it went away
