Probably not in Ontario though because sales of electric vehicles have dropped like a brick after Premier Crackmayor Minor cancelled the rebates for them.

Funny story about that happening on my '18 3 right after reading the initial post. The brakes didn't slam on the BRAKE!!! alarm came on the HUD, when there was a car about 10 lengths ahead of me And then I saw a cop pointing a radar gun at me. Pretty sure I got the car version of a missile launch warning which I thought was pretty neat.

The 2017 might not have Android auto/carplay (it's an available update, you might be able to negotiate that in) Smaller screen No start/stop auto cruise control (shuts off under 30kph) No AWD option.

silence_kit posted:There is a slight rattle somewhere in the driver's side door or dash of my car that becomes noticeable when it gets cold. The interior is extremely nice for an economy car, but there are some really cheap feeling things about it (1. the way the cloth fabric is fastened to a cardboard/plastic bar at the bottom of the driver & passenger seats and 'latched in' to some kind of hook in the bottom of the seat is not great and sometimes falls out I have the exact same problems on my '18 GT, the side bolster popped out and the leather ripped. It's quite annoying. The Soul Red paint is a beautiful color but my GOD is the paint fragile. I've had my car for 2 and a half years and the amount of chips and flakes in the paint is truly amazing.

The easy solution is to find a CX-5 turbo that's been in a rear end collision and steal the engine out of it bing bong so simple (not really) Or just get the 2021 Mazda3 with turbo and AWD.

Picked up the new CX5 GT Turbo yesterday. The GT trim level between the '18 Mazda3 and this is hugely different, this feels like a genuine luxury vehicle. Also the Mazdaconnect system is MUCH more responsive on this car for some reason, wonder if the computer was changed? ventilated seats are magic.

Gros Tarla posted:Well, today is the day! I test drove a signature, it's a very nice car. wasn't worth the money for the 360 view camera though. i had such a brain-fart moment with my CX-5, the infotainment display was staying on full brightness at all times, even at night-time and wouldn't switch to night-time unless manually changed in the settings. I thought there was a light sensor issue or something...and then I turned down the instrument lights using the little knob and poof, problem solved. it was set to max brightness.

Gros Tarla posted:Indeed, initially was going for one trim under with the turbo, but they had that one one the lot and knocked out most of the difference between what I had already haggled for and that one, and they threw in the hitch, all weather mats and poo poo. We're going back in heavy lockdown Thursday for at least two weeks, likely more, and they seemed desperate as they won't get any sales for as long as that goes on., so yay for me. oh if you got all the extras thrown in that's not so bad, i suppose the reverse sensors are pretty nice too. but goddamn does that turbo have some oomph. coming from a Mazda3 with the non-turbo 2.5 this thing is WAY faster.

The cx30 is a really sharp looking vehicle, with the turbo is probably really peppy.

OEM set is fine unless you have broad cargo to put on top. I was at the very edge of the OEM rails with a 17' canoe.

FYI, found out that Mazda is getting very stingy about doing repairs anywhere close to the end of warranty period. The power folding mirror on the passenger side failed on the last day of my warranty, and they do NOT want to fix it. What a stupid loving design, whoever came up with the auto-retract feature does not live in a climate with ice/snow.

There's a trick apparently, I'm gonna try it tonight. But yeah those motors are weak and don't like any snow/ice buildup.

It's pretty simple to disable them actually. Push start button twice to ON (don't turn the engine on) Put the window switch lock into lock Turn off the e-brake Push down on passenger window and 2 rear window switches for 5 seconds. I guess that 2020.5 and later models have a switch for the mirrors for fold/auto/unfold so you don't have to do this stuff.

Yeah my rears are at 3mm and fronts are at 8mm, I'm at 120k km. Just did my spark plugs today, the bracket on top of the 2.5 turbo is a pain in the rear end, the hoses do not want to shift.

I think I'm done with my dealership for maintenance after they forgot to reinstall a caliper bolt after brake service. Mind you they're refunding the cost of the service, but jesus guys.
