Yup, I used to have an 18 Golf R. I ended up with a roof rack for my mtn bike. You could get a hitch installed but they had to cut some of the rear diffuser plastic to do it. Yah, no cutting my pretty car. Then I ended up selling it and getting a 21 CX-30 Turbo. Back to my Kuat hitch bike rack!

ha, I went from a mk7.5 Golf R to a 21 CX-30 turbo. Yes, some of the interior is better in the VW, the seats are great, I wouldn’t mind a little more side bolster in the Mazda. And the VW sound system was amazing while the Bose in the Mazda is just fine. However, it doesn’t really feel like a downgrade. Lots of soft…

Oh then hell yeah. It drives more like a lifted hatchback than a suv. Typical mazda handling. I’ve got all terrains on mine and it’s fielding this post winter Utah pothole season no problem. Just passed a guy on the freeway, low profile sport tires on a Jetta, big flat

Well, he has a Golf already, so why not a Sportwagon? Although I’d just get the Alltrack for the AWD and slight lift for potholes and such. Bikes will fit in the back, or you can rack it and carry lots of gear

I got the 21 CX-30 Turbo. It’s been great, no regrets

These are great rental cars. Plenty of room, the back swallows bags, practical, good mpg, and doesn’t feel like you’re driving a bland rental car up the PCH (looking at you rental Malibu)

That would be amazing but yeah i suspect somehting similar to the regular Rav4 Hybrid, maybe using mazdas 186hp na 4

Yeah from what I’ve read they are sourcing the hybrid driveline from Toyota, so hoping they still pair it with Mazdas Turbo

FIFY

SO much hate, lol. Subaru is making crazy ass cars, you can get a boring crossover from just about anybody, including Subaru. I think the only miss is they didn’t put the turbo in it, same with the Forester

yeah but you’d still ride both of them if you got the chance

Let the hate flow through you

Ha funny you say that. I have a CX-30 turbo and it’s been great but a little small for my needs. I’ve been looking at some wagons but If you squint at the CX-50, it’s kinda a lifted sport wagon. Dimensionally it’s more wagon than SUV. When they release the hybrid this september I may have a go

It was on my list, but I didn’t want to spend that much so I got a CX-30 Turbo lol it’s no Porsche but it’s a great little car

this is the edge of current, but the Luther Fallen Sun show got me hooked into watching the actual show and I binged watched the whole series. Some cool cars, Luthers Volvo, the cops Mitsubishis, Marks Saab, but espcecially Alices Jensen

I’m seeing some possible Gamblers here

Some ebikes are shipping now as a class 2 bike and you can adjust settings in the controller to make it go 28-35. That’s what I’d like. Legal on road and certain trails, then get in to the backcountry, dirt roads etc, punch it up

For passengers, low ceiling, small overhead bins, small seats, limited legroom.
The a/c system is terrible, when temps get over 80 it’s hard to keep it cool. I have had to refuse to fly one when our APU was inop and the temps were around 100, they just become sweatboxes, no recirc fan, the air con fan is so weak you…

But can you get a full sheet of plywood in the back?
