The crimson inside is very lovely, you know. My wife always gets her way, and this time she rejected my request for a CX-70 in Polymetal Grey with red upholstery in favour of a CX-90.

I intend to buy a brand new 2025 CX-70 PHEV GT in Canada with a 10.25" screen after doing some research on the subject. The 2025 has been sitting on the dealer's lot for a long, so they're offering me a fantastic bargain on it. Since most automobiles have black interiors, I wanted one with red seats. It has them. The feedback is appreciated.

There isn't a single flaw when owners consider the whole infotainment system, including the placement and operation of the dials and knobs. Mazda did a great job with the design and planning. So far, the 30-to 60-second delay that occurs when my iPhone wirelessly syncs and activates Carplay is my only complaint. However, it's possible that this is more of an iPhone problem than a Mazda one.

The next step is to commit it to memory, which I already knew it would do.

It is doable, and when I remember to do it, it works well.

Without a doubt, the control dial is magnificent.Nearly all of the time, I utilise it. Actually, I have no idea when I last interacted with a screen. I know you can only use the touchscreen in Carplay, but I use the dial every single time I'm driving. Mastering the "corner buttons" adjacent to the dial will allow you to swiftly access NAV, Carplay, Favourites, Car Settings, and Home. If you go down in Home and want to view more, the only drawback is that you have to go back up to the main Home page. Maybe you can use the corner button to do this....That sounds like something I should give a shot.

When using Google Maps for "typing," the knob isn't accessible, but voice input is reliable.

We use the knob on our CX-90 far more often than the touchscreen, even though it includes a touchscreen. If forced to, I could do without the touchscreen interface. I can't remember ever using the touchscreen to enter an address into the maps, and I also never used the knob. Unless I'm using my voice, I usually just enter in the address on my phone's screen. It's far more handy than staring at an infotainment panel on a stationary device.

There is just the 10.25" non-touchscreen available for the 2025 CX-90 PHEV in Canada. I was fiddling with the dial throughout the test drive and really rather like using it, despite the fact that many youtube videos bemoan its use. Do you wish you had gotten the bigger 12.3" screen instead of the non-touchscreen? If so, what are your regrets? I could shell out more cash for the 2026, but would it be worthwhile if it was the sole significant change? I want to use AndroidAuto pretty much exclusively; is it possible to input an address into Google Maps while the vehicle is in motion using the dial? As far as I can tell, the Mazda Navigation system does not allow you to enter an address while the vehicle is in motion.

Much obliged.🫠

Hello everyone, I am in the market for an EGR deletion kit for my 2010 320d touring. Has anybody else done this? If so, could you kindly share a link with me? Thank you ahead of time

Refresher on this subject. Ultimately, I decided not to purchase it. It turns out that one suspension airbag and compressor was changed last year, but the NSR bag wasn't. Perhaps an airline was involved; he did offer to take £250 off! The images were, shall we say, flattering, and it was down on its haunches at the NSR. With that in mind, I opted not to take a chance on it due to its bad state and the lack of proof of oil seals being done. To be honest, I couldn't see any indicators, but you can't get under them to inspect. I'm sure there will be others.

Thank goodness neither of them has made it to Devon just yet; luckily, I do have an A3 hybrid on hand just in case.

Plus Night Vision Assist. Apt for use in pub top trumps. Can you tell me if your vehicle has an infrared camera and a dashboard display? Nah, mine has. In my opinion, it's designed to help you locate deer that are hiding in dark places that your headlights can't reach. Unless it's pouring down rain, I seldom go anyplace dark enough to use it, but when it does, it's great for spotting cars up front that would otherwise be obscured by the spray.

By the way, are you in Devon? In case this matters to you, know that this vehicle does not comply with CAZ or ULEZ regulations.

They may even include the most recent maps (or firmware updates for COMAND and DAB, depending on the source) if you're lucky.

The same as before. Furthermore, COMAND is available with DAB and a reverse camera.

Apt specification. First and foremost, I would like to mention the following features: Nappa, Distronic (which is fantastic), Sunroof, Intelligent Light System, Memory Pack, TPMS, and DAB.

I just realised it was poor form to include this in my welcome message; I apologise. The purchase of a 2010 W212 E350CDI estate is almost complete. See the specification sheet down below. Because this is my first MB, I was wondering whether the specs were OK or if there was something plainly lacking. Looking over the several postings, it appears to have decent equipment.

Even on a single panel, my previous e90 would have struggled to achieve a machine shine. "Painted cold?" a man said.

On a budget? Just use 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it off and cover the doors with BMW stripe M decals. For around £200-£250, which includes an electric pressure paint gun that connects to the wall outlet, you could spray wrap the entire thing if you're comfortable with that kind of thing. I get my spray wrap paint from a business called Matt-Pack, by the way. Go ahead and search "DIP YOUR CAR" on YouTube if you're feeling adventurous and want to see some spray wrapping. Spray wrapping is a relatively easy technique that I've been doing for a few years now. Once you have the equipment and are skilled at it, your friends will want you to change the colour of their motor.

A compound and polish may do wonders for the bumper. Aside from rubbing back and painting afresh, there isn't much you can do with crazy clear when the door has had terrible paint before.
