Re: What updates for the New 2019 CX3 would you like.

LOL. Why do you want an off button? The radio is just one part of the infotainment system, which only powers down when you turn the ignition off. If you want an almost blank screen with no sound, you can just mute the radio and say "Display clock". Every day is a school day.I tried the ab...

Re: CX-3d turbo lag.

I thought the point of the Mazda engine design was that it didn't have a turbo?

Re: Headlight height adjustment

.... finally if driving in France ensure you turn off speed camera warnings on your satnav. Anyone in France that can tell us what the built in Sat Nav says when approaching a camera? I am told that if it says something like "accident blackspot" then it's perfectly OK. If it says the same...

I am used to diesel engines, is this par for the course with this vehicle, your comments would be appreciate...

Re: Sat Nav

While we are talking about sat navs. On mine it displays the name of the road I am in at the top left of the screen even though I am not in sat nav mode. I'm pretty sure when I was messing about with settings the other day I activated something that now shows these road names always being displayed...

Re: Spare wheel options

I would not leave home without a spare wheel. I had the car delivered with the full space saver kit which cost £332.64 including VAT. A small price to pay for peace of mind. I agree zoylander. Weird how we all think. My initial reaction was against the "no spare wheel" option but then I t...

Re: Is the Front Centre Armrest worth buying?

Interesting discussion - I don't have an armrest and I'm perfectly happy living without it. I've never had an issue with the commander controls and the handbrake position either; so we're all different. One point, the Japanese sit on the same side of the car as us, so if we assume their design point...

I had one on the passenger side that I had fixed on the insurance by Autoglass - never used a DIY kit though.

Re: Newbie with a couple of queries

As you walk away from the car, first the doors lock, the turn indicators flash and there is a beep, then a few seconds later the indicators flash again, there is another beep and the mirrors fold in. Not quite right, the first beep simply says that all the doors are shut and if you walk out of the ...
