Congratulations on your new Mazda. Black looks great on the 50. Black interior, too?
Did you get the ones for the CX-30 and do they fit well?Silver paddle extensions
Yes, because what if you want the car to hold a gear and keep the engine in the powerband? You can keep the turbo spooled.People use the paddles on an auto? 😂
What a ridiculous edit. Your boy racer wannabee is showing, and nobody is impressed.Zoom zoom vroom vroom 😂
That was my thought, as well.Wait, there's paddles on manuals too?![]()
I do a lot of highway driving, and getting the turbo spooled before executing a passing maneuver makes the engine much more responsive for when I want the car to accelerate.Hadn’t thought of it the Cx-50 as a vehicle I try to keep spooled.
Yeah. It’s referred to as a sequential manual gearbox, a dual clutch transmission etc. it’s what the paddles in our cars are mimicking.Wait, there's paddles on manuals too?![]()
Yeah I’m a boy racer sparky. I’m going to go hop in my wife’s Cx-50 and spool the turbo.What a ridiculous edit. Your boy racer wannabee is showing, and nobody is impressed.
That was my thought, as well.
Still not a manual. They are automated.Yeah. It’s referred to as a sequential manual gearbox, a dual clutch transmission etc. it’s what the paddles in our cars are mimicking.
Lol at least you have a good sense of humor, kid.Yeah I’m a boy racer sparky. I’m going to go hop in my wife’s Cx-50 and spool the turbo.
Splitting hairs but yes it’s a manual gearbox with automated capabilities. I’ve used them on my E60Still not a manual. They are automated.
Sounds good; give it a shot. I just like having fun with it on my daily commutes. I don’t have a sports car anymore after my Z was totaled, and for me this car scratches the itch a little bit until I get another sports car. I agree, it’s not fast, per se, but I think it’s quick for what it is.Splitting hairs but yes it’s a manual gearbox with automated capabilities. I’ve used them on my E60
m5 and 135i. Tried using it the day we bought our ecoboost Flex and never tried it again. Maybe I’ll give it a shot on the wife’s car next time I drive it. I just don’t think of it as fast. Maybe the paddles will change my mind.
