Exterior Mirrors Fail to Acknowledge Driver Memory

Recommended Posts

2024 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Premium Plus. Contrary to the owner's handbook, I am unable to use either driver memory setting #1 or #2 to adjust either outside mirror. The control of the seat position and heads-up display works well. Is this a software malfunction, or just another characteristic of petrol vehicles that Mazda chose to omit in PHEVs?

I harboured apprehension over it. I received a response from the sales manager at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. He has a premium CX-70, which also lacks that feature. It is astonishing that Mazda does not include this feature in all vehicles equipped with driver memory. Why limit it just to premium trim gas-only CX-90 models? All vehicles I have own in the last 15 years, many in number, have included driver memory that encompassed external mirror adjustments.

Mazda undoubtedly made some unconventional decisions. The rear taillights are, in my opinion, the most offensive. Numerous owners of the PHEV PP have replaced their components with fully lighted versions, and the cost difference for the parts is minimal, leaving me perplexed as to why Mazda did not include them in the highest trim level of the PHEV. Additionally, there is an absence of CTS (PHEV PP includes MRCC), a deficiency of a centre console in the second row, and uncoordinated fender flares, among other issues.

I have rented a 2024 Artisan Red PHEV Premium for about one year, and although I am fortunate to have avoided the dependability concerns reported by others, I must concur with the thoughts expressed in this discussion. Mazda's exclusion of what many automotive manufacturers see as fundamental amenities in a vehicle priced at over $57,000 is somewhat disappointing.
I was aware of these omissions before my purchase, and overall, we are satisfied with the vehicle; however, I am still astonished that basic features such as passenger seat height adjustment, memory for side view mirrors, and fully illuminated tail lights are not standard. Their selections look to be peculiar for Mazda, especially given they seem to be attempting to market the car as a near-luxury alternative to companies such as BMW. I am not an engineer, however I question if the incorporation of such components would significantly alter the price/profit dynamics.

Similar to you, I really like this automobile. Prior to receiving $8,250 in incentives, the premium PHEV and gasoline-only models are almost equivalent in price. Constructing a petrol model to match the specifications of a PHEV Premium Plus will result in an expenditure of around $5,000 for the hybrid powertrain. Mazda aimed to establish a predetermined pricing point. The compelling aspect is that this car is so impressive that I would have been inclined to pay for a Turbo S Premium Plus if the PHEV package were available. My lease is for a duration of just two years. Perhaps Mazda will enhance their offerings by that time, allowing me to exchange for a more well equipped PHEV.
