It's CRIMINAL that you two only have sub 3k subscribers. What the what? This channel is in my top 10.

[@ttc_cars]

Thank you so much for the kind words. It means alot to us. Unfortunately this channel simply has less demand as it covers Cars and CUV's. Our main channel (kzbin.info) covers Trucks and SUVs which seem to get more traffic. Thank you for watching, it helps a ton!

@@ttc_cars I follow that one, too (for a long time - before you changed the name).

[@DWESENTERPRISE]

Probably cause they said they like smaller wheels... It's not a off road mud truck lol

Thanks for watching!

Amazing review of the real criticisms and positives of the CX-90. Appreciate the honest journalism here.

[@sheldonduffy9442]

Really like the comment you made about the top end trims and the luxury crowd buying them. It really compares better to BMW and Mercedes than Telluride and Palisades which are FWD biased and naturally have more space. I totally agree with not being able to have the gauges when using cruise control.

[@TryingToBeKind]

Great review! What was the as-tested price? Thanks!

[@10tenman10]

I have a cx-90 preferred plus. I am not bothered by the shifting patterns.

[@AlexKishinevsky]

Do you guys know what they did to the transmission? I have the phev and the jerkiness of the transmission is driving me nuts.

[@evotalon]

See your local Mazda dealer. There is a TSB for updating the transmission software and it may not have been updated on your vehicle.

How do we get 490 miles with full tank of gas and full charge . Dashboard shows 290 miles for gas and 23 miles for charge. Appreciate if anyone can explain

[@David_Journey]

How many weeks ago did you purchase the vehicle? Brand new the car has no history to guess your driving style. So it will be biased in estimating worse mileage. Over time the car learns how you drive and will provide higher numbers provided driver is gentle on gas pedal.

[@David_Journey]

You can increase your gas mileage by charging the car overnight. Also by setting the recharge limit to a closer % to where your battery charge level is at for longer trips (then the car becomes a hybrid and the generator does not put additional load on the engine - which affect mpg and recharges your battery with gas engine)

@@David_JourneyI bought it 1 month ago just trying to explore stuff

[@ratnaprasadgummadi9414]

@@David_Journey when we fully charge the vehicle, Is it better to use EV mode first or just leave it to normal mode to obtain best mileage . Thank you

Good review overall but your take on the smaller wheels looking better is wacky. This car looks so low grade without these larger wheels.
