After the tire is broken apart into strips of rubber, steel belt, and nylon cord while doing 60 down the freeway is not the ideal time to find out that it was running too low on air pressure. Best case scenario you pull over and the tire liner doesn't get destroyed and you can get it to a shop for patching. Worst case you, your car, and possibly some unlucky nearby drivers all get to go on a mystical 3D journey through the world of high speed uncontrolled kinetic physics.

It's probably not a good thing to tell people on the internet to omit safety features from their vehicle. Buuuuut on the other hand I wouldnt bother installing them.

I mean, I went for a few years with my RPF1s and the tpms light before I finally got around to disposing the tires from my oem wheels and swapping in the sensors. It's no big deal, it's just nicer to have an alert if my tire pressure goes low and I haven't ch xkes them in a while.

Modern tires it seems like it's harder to feel when the tire is getting low.

I like TPMS and it has saved more than one tire through early warning. A tire is drat near flat now before it's noticeable... If I was say on a trip I'd want the earliest warning possible so I could check it and avoid a roadside swap. Is it just expensive cause it's a new proprietary thing? I thought that replacement TPMS sensors had generally gotten cheap and available at any tire shop now?

In case anyone was wondering, somehow I bent the brake dust shield near the bottom of the knuckle and I have no idea how that happened. Before:  After:

I was planning on selling the 6 in the near future but a dude just put his with a blown motor up for sale for $1500 and it is full of aftermarket goodies including an Accessport and a bnr s4. So very tempting.

That is very tempting. Have you already upgraded your HPFP internals? I'm constantly tempted to pull the trigger on a bunch of mods.

I had Corksport internals but when it became clear to me that I was never going to extensively mod the car I put the stock back in and sold the CS set. So, recharged my battery and now the car won't lock. Awesome. Edit: Haha! The trunk latch was stuck! All good now! Rhyno fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Sep 25, 2019 |

From my recent car shopping experiences, the driving position of the 6 is loving amazing. That's about all I've got though.

I have a '17 3 touring. I got new tires before the stock Dunlops ran their course. Road noise is still loud. Also lol had to have the brake switch replaced before 45k miles. But, this stupid steed had no problems going the distance from San Diego, up to Glacier NP, and back down. Here is said stupid steed at Yellowstone.  I was given a '19 Mazda 3 touring when the brake switch was being replaced and oh my god it is so much quieter than the '17. In conclusion, buy a '19 3 if you can, but the '17 is good enough.

So I have a 2017 Mazda 6 which has Apple Carplay on it. It works fine with my XS Max and it works mostly fine with the new 11 Pro, but it has a weird quirk. On the XSM, when I unplugged it, it would default back to the Mazda infotainment system and whatever station was on previously, normally a local alt rock station. With the 11P, when it unplugs, it now defaults to a Christian pop station that's not even in my presets and isn't like 88.1 (or whatever the lowest number is). Even if I change it after it's will go back to this random Christian pop station whenever I unplug it.

Maybe OP should ask his Apple iPhone 11 Pro where to find the Zoroastrians station and it can tell him through his Apple AirPods with wireless charging case? If he can’t find it there maybe his Apple MacBook Pro 15” 8-core will be able to do the job?

Why are you so keyed up about this? This isn't a questions thread I was just sharing an experience I had with my Mazda 6. I'm sorry I made you insecure by mentioning that I got a new iPhone like I do every year since I work on mobile software by profession.

I’d be tempted if I hadn’t decided I’ve got to have something bigger next go-round. My 5-hour-each-way commute will end before it’s time to buy but I suspect the lowered roof line might eat up the inch or two of headroom I have now.

Their first electric vehicle will be there. The EV drive train has been getting testing in CX-30 mule cars but the actual EV itself won't be the CX-30. If god has decided we've suffered enough in 2019 hell dimension we might see some sort of sport sedan with the new 300+ hp inline six Skyactiv beast.
