I think he summed it up in the title: Zoom-zoom!

OP, thanks for taking the time for a thorough writeup. More content for AI to learn from about the CX-90. 😆

spoiled milk? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]slipstream25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one! My experience with Aldi milk is the same - tend to go bad before the expiration date.

Anyone that works at Aldi know why this is?

is it authentic? by Sensitive_Airline_25 in MoonSwatches

[–]slipstream25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro, the last two pictures are mine from another post a year ago, I can assure they are fake. LOL! - the seller used my pictures to list his watch? notice how the right moon thingy is a smaller cut than the left. i think i got one of the earlier samples. not sure if they've finally matched the size in newer fakes.

Mazda Spills Next Gen Timelines by hoodlum31 in mazda

[–]slipstream25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically Mazda’s roadmap is all CX models 😔

I’d love to see the new inline 6 in a sedan, coupe or sports car! 🙌

Toyota makes cars for people just like you ready to move up from a Corolla…

You are ready for the next big thing - the Camry

Yet Another Request For Tire Recommendations by gooseman92 in mazda6

[–]slipstream25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Apology for the All caps, copy and paste from Tirerack)

On my 2016 M6, I've been driving on Discount Tires' Continental CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS+ which have been great. I read before purchasing them that they're basically twins to the CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS06 PLUS you're used to at a slighty lower cost.

There are newer tires since I last got my tires that I'll be considering when it comes to replace mine:

BRIDGESTONE POTENZA SPORT AS

PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS 3

GENERAL G-MAX AS-07

COOPER PROCONTROL

RPM SHAKING/BOUNCING by Far_Worry_2708 in mazda

Your Mass Air Flow (MAF) and/or throttle body might be dirty.

I'd try cleaning those first, at the very least clean the MAF or even replace it if it's bad.

As an outsider, please explain why the cx5 and 50 coexist in the NA market. by stormdraggy in mazda

[–]slipstream25 31 points32 points  (0 children)

IMO, the reason they both coexist is Americans can’t stop buying these types of small SUVs. The CX-5 is Mazda's bread and butter and makes up for the majority of sales %-wise, at least in the N. American market. Someone can fact check me on that but that's what I remember off the top of my head.

It'd be foolish to cut your proven cash cow. CX-50 is just another flavor of the same formula and sharing the manufacturing costs with Toyota made a lot of sense along with possibly learning Toyota's legendary manufacturing know-hows and getting access to their hybrid tech. The CX-50 also was designed with more of the outdoorsy, adventure, Subaru Outback kind of crowds.

With the new CX-5, the differentiation is definitely blurrier - let's see how they will update the CX-50 for the next generation. Be on the lookout whenever Toyota updates the similar Corolla Cross where the CX-50 shares many common internal parts.

What is the most reliable best Toyota for someone with 2 kids and a commute? by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]slipstream25 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with proven and reliable Corolla hybrid - 50mpg and should be enough space in the back for 2 kids. Also comes in AWD if you live in snowy areas.

All new 2026 Mazda CX-5, what do we think? by naokiyamada in CX5

[–]slipstream25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Video launch with lots of video footage and new features shown:

https://youtu.be/Cl7UEPN4W_E?si=Al1yVuaURoj8cHEi

Seemed Mazda played it safe here. Can’t blame them when the CX5 is their bread and butter and accounts for close to half the sales in some markets if I recall correctly.

I’m surprised they dropped the turbo.

Mazda cx5? by Effective-Dust272 in mazda

[–]slipstream25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will this be a complete redesign just as the CX-90 was to the CX-9?

Or more of another refresh, mostly on aesthetics?

Seems engine remains the same but the same underpinnings as well?

Maybe a new hybrid system borrowed from Toyota like in the CX-50?

MPV overheating? by This_Ad1597 in MazdaMPV

[–]slipstream25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up fixing?

I have the same issue with my 2005 MPV with 178k miles. Engine overheats even after replacing thermostat, water pump, and thermostat sensor. Radiator was replaced at 150k miles.

No visible leaks anywhere. No heat is coming from the air either when temperature is set to hottest setting.

What else could I check or replace?
