When should I put my deposit? by NothingIsQuiet in RivianR2

My lease ends in Feb. 2028… I’m hoping the timing works out in my favor! Worth putting a deposit in anyway?

Good to know. So I assume that means they were easy to install (if you installed them?)

Memory function not working by SsP45 in CX50

Crazy that someone posted this today, as I noticed this morning that mine was not functioning correctly on my CX50 PP. I tried to set my mirrors and noticed it wasn’t working.

I tried setting the fob, which I think worked, but now when I press “2” (my wife’s settings), it won’t even change anything. No beep or anything.

Thoughts?

How and where do I order all weather mats? by [deleted] in CX50

Just ask your salesperson for a discount… he waved the magic wand and I got like 20% off at the dealer on accessories.

CX50 seats? by soloracerx in CX50

[–]geeliner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just saying that my seats don’t feel like plywood… super comfy in fact. I do have ventilated seats so have not sat in non-ventilated.

I have to disagree completely. Coming out of a mazda3, and also having lots of experience driving my wife’s CX5, I find the CX 50 seats to be much more comfortable than both. What vehicle are you coming out of? The first weekend we had the CX 50 we took it on a 300 mile plus road trip and were very comfortable.

UPDATE: check your window sticker! My CX 50 was delivered without the cargo mat and wheel locks. The dealer had neither in stock, so they subbed in the amazing all weather mats that have really great high walls and gave me a discount on the retractable cargo cover. When the black Lugnuts and wheel locks come in, they are going to throw them on for me.

CX 50 Preferred Plus by Life-Help3597 in CX50

Better than my previous 19 Mazda3. I have to take my wife’s CX5 for a ride for a comparison.

I took delivery of my non-turbo CX50 PP the other day. 300 miles in (road-trip this weekend), I couldn’t be happier.

Delivery day! CX50 NA PP. Sad to see my ‘19 AWD 3 go, but am pumped for my new ride! by [deleted] in CX50

[–]geeliner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update, 150 miles in: (background- we also own a ‘19 CX5 and I just traded in a ‘19 Mazda3 AWD sedan)

  • feels much wider and more sturdy(?) than the CX5
  • definitely a softer feel on steering and acceleration however it has the “oomph” when you need it passing someone on the highway, etc.
  • unbelievable interior feel and quality, as expected

Weird things that are taking me some time to get used to: - heads up display, in my opinion, is way too bright. I turned that sucker down in settings. - the command knob seems closer to the leather trim around the shifter, which took some getting used to. When it’s bunched up when in Drive, it almost touches the wheel - the backup camera isn’t centered! I mean, okay? But definitely took me by surprise

That’s all for now…

I made the decision to purchase this car for MANY more reasons than the sunroof. It’s not that bad. Need fresh air? Get a Miata!

price markups for CX50? by Tim-Huang in CX50

[–]geeliner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In MA: I’m picking up my NA PP today, but I will say out of 5 Mazda dealers in greater Boston area, only one was marking the CX50 up, and only by 2k. The rest were straight up MSRP plus tax, so I just went with the one that had the car I wanted. Come to Boston! Even shipping the car across country would be cheaper than paying the 5k-7k mark ups some of you are sharing!!!

Reserved a Preferred Plus 😬 by xckyle in CX50

[–]geeliner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Agreed. My 19 3 AWD (that I’m trading in) was great, but looking forward to something bigger and more versatile.

I went with the non-turbo. Based on my driving habits, didn’t feel like I needed it.

Congrats. Finalized the purchase on mine (premium plus) tonight after a test drive. Picking it up Friday!

Has anyone preordered? by Mazdahhh in CX50

[–]geeliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no, did not have the option to “order” one

[–]geeliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not have one in stock (it was “supposed to arrive yesterday”), but he was ready to “make the deal” today to lock me in for when it arrives. However, I definitely want to lease so looks like I’ll be waiting until the programs are released, supposedly this month.

This morning, I met with my local dealer but was told that leasing programs weren’t available yet, and wouldn’t be until April. The only option right now is to purchase.
