Hi all, from Grand Rapids, Mi. I just picked up a base Turbo. The infotainment unit died my first day with the car, which was unfortunate, but a new one is on the way under warranty. In the meantime, I’m enjoying driving in the quiet. I ordered a set of Tux Mats and am looking forward to installing them later this week when they come.
This is my 5th Mazda, going back to a 2002 Protege, through a CX-7t, a 6 and a 3 before moving to the CX-50. In truth, I went in wanting a CX-5, (more content for the money), but my wife and I both sorta hated the seats.
I struggled to choose between a 2.5P+ vs. the base Turbo for similar bucks, given some of the nice features of the P+. But my lizard brain won in the end and my love of torque ruled my checkbook. Each time I leave a stop, I feel it in my gut that I made the right call for me.
