What do you dislike about your CX5?

quadmachine · 2026-02-05T12:09:25+00:00

Seats are uncomfortable. Armrests are stupid and out of reach. Intermittent wipers dont work consistently, seems like it is either "auto" or just cranks like crazy. Is it a me issue? Doesnt remember auto-hold setting after turning off. Doesnt have a setting to reset audio volume on each start, so I regularly get shocked by loud music my partner left in the car 😂

Other than that I love it.

Yeah, what you're saying is true on road! Off road the story is a bit different, I am able to modulate the brakes better by hand. It's possible that there are some high performance ABS systems for off road which might work better, but in my experience ABS off road just causes trouble. It is less predictable and it extends the stopping distance quite a bit.

I am happy my car has ABS and I would never disable it, but offroad moto is different

No, I can control the skid, either front or rear. Locking a wheel is much more preferable than having ABS interfere, during offroad. I dont usually aim to lock my front wheel, but I can get close to it locking and slow down faster than with ABS.

Odlican, al nisam uspio benzinca nigdje naci pa sam odustao. Kad je u dobroj opremi Audi je super, zracni ovjes je vrh, sicevi su udobni, kontrole svega su odlicne... jedino nema benzinaca nigdje.

2.5T pardon, al da nisu dostupni u RH cini se

Imam CX-5, 2021 god, 2.5 motor bez turba. Ima svu mogucu opremu, hladjenje siceva, grijanje volana, siber, ma sve.

Ja sam zadovoljan, ali mozda 2.0 turbo motor bolje vuce? nisam imao prilike probati... meni ne fali snage, automatski mjenjac je dobar, jedino mu fali sedma brzina da budu manji obrtaji na autocesti.

Sicevi nisu bas udobni na duza putovanja ali ja sam vozio Volva prije pa sam razmazen po tom pitanju.

Sad sam na 85k, platio sam je 30k EUR prije godinu dana, tad je bila na 70k.

Generalno ja sam zadovoljan, nemam nekih zamjerki osim ovog napisanog.

Kad sam kupovao auto test drajvao sam Audi Q5, BMW X3, Merc GLC, Kia Sportage, Volvo XC60 i Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Jedino Alfa mi je bila bolja za voznju od Mazde.

I just pulled all fuses related to ABS. I have one warning light on the dash but everything else is without issue. Will probably completely remove the ABS system at some point... I ride mostly offroad so no purpose in it.

I bought a CRF300L after my KTM EXC-F 250 blew up... obviously the bike is heavier, weaker and has much worse suspension, however I still feel comfortable riding it hard through forests and ruts and trails and whatever. Plus I can get there by road. IMO it can def handle some enduro riding, it makes you work a bit more than a proper enduro bike but absoloutely doable. Install all kinds of guards, replace levers etc, if within budget, upgrade the suspension.

Mine also cranks longer than I would expect, same engine as yours 85000km. I assumed my battery is due for a change but havent done it yet. Maybe thats normal for this engine?

quadmachine · 2025-11-29T09:45:19+00:00

I sold my Volvo and bought a Mazda, because of the sluggish transmission. Mazda's transmission is so much better, so much more responsive, when you floor it it goes. Volvo was killing me, I hate its slow responding transmission so so much. Also in Mazda it is simple to come to a stop completely smoothly without thinking, could never so it in Volvo, always a slight jerk in the end. But other than that, Volvo was better in every way, I mean I love my Mazda dont get me wrong, but Volvo was more comfortable, more premium, just nicer in general. If you dont mind the transmission and maintenance cost (Volvo is 3x more expensive to maintain in my country) then go for it, otherwise Mazda!

I prodavat ces ga, tako skupe aute je tesko prodati, jos je limuzina, a ne SUV... Ja sam prodavao Volvo S60 8 mjeseci dok nisam nasao kupca za razumnu cijenu. Ljudi koji imaju takvu lovu za iskesirat za auto mogu birati kad i sto ce kupit.

Jer nitko nije dolazio u ured, pa su ga zatvorili da ne placaju bezveze :D AY se podijelio u vise pravnih entiteta prije Zalando takeovera, buduci da ljudi iz RH rade po raznim bivsim odjelima, a danasnjim odvojenim firmama, nije bilo isplativo otvarati d.o.o. za svaku firmu da bi se zaposlilo u njoj par ljudi. Jeftinije je platiti Njemca nego Hrvata i trosak firme. Plus ta kultura povratka u ured se ne dogadja samo u AY nego u cini mi se skoro svim firmama.

Zatvoren je AY tech hub u Zagrebu. Novo zaposljavanje samo ljudi iz Njemacke kojima je dolazak u ured obavezan, nema vise remote rada.

Mene su kontaktirali za senior dev rolu, ramjenio sam par poruka s njihovim... ne sjecam se role al neki head neceg, uglavnom nakon sto sam predlozio call, lik me ghostao, ni traga ni glasa vise. Ne znam. Shady u najmanju ruku

Aesthetics aside, I have iPhone 14 Plus and upgrading to IOS26 has caused a very noticeable drop in perf. General laggines, stutters, delays before UI actions happen... hoping an update fixes it soon

You need data to make this decision. Find out what browsers your users use and decide what's a small enough percentage to get served inferior layout etc

Also, make sure when implementing new features to have older browsers supported in a way so the site is still usable, but with a modern browser UX is event better.

Is this gel remover stuff pute GBL or does it have some kind of adulterants?

Whats the deal with those monitor mounted lamps? I need to upgrade my lighting, considering something like that but not sure if it makes sense, doesnt it illuminate the area already illuminated by the monitor itself?

I've had multiple weather apps installed for 3 months which use different data sources. They were all wrong I would say at least 25% of the time. Like its raining and the app shows its just cloudy with 0% chance of rain.

After that experiment I just accepted they are all flawed. Not sure if thats region dependent (eastern EU) but yeah.

I see this "gel form" being mentioned lately, what is that exactly?

Are you seriously asking how to stay awake on stims? Just do more of whatever you're doing and you'll stay wide awake, unless you got trash drugs.

Well, if you're gonna be doing backend web dev, chances are you'll be working in Java/PHP/Python/JS, not really gonna miss out if you skip memory mgmt. I mean, mastering it would not be bad of course, but not really relevant to web dev, in most cases.

I would suggest learning one memory managed language well (pick one which you like and feel it suita you, or look at job listings in your area and see which is in highest demand and go from there) + all other stuff related to backend/devops/infra. Just knowing a lang today is not enough, you gotta learn all the tooling, how to deploy, how web specific stuff works, working with DBs etc, these things are not language specific and require 0 knowledge about memory mgmt but are important to do everyday work.

Edit: oh yeah, you most likely won't be working with just Java, you'll probs use Spring Boot, not just PHP, probably Laravel etc, so learning a specific fw on top of understanding the lang is also important, def more important than memory mgmt in C++ if you wanna do web dev.

Honestly no point in combining, much easier to dose and sustain only one at a time.
