Would this now mean the 2021 models would have Cylinder Deactivation? https://www.************/2021/01/maz...-cylinder.html

Hope not.

Very detailed review on the Mazda CX-5 engine, transmission and suspension.

Rusting at the suspension area seems to be a common problem with the Mazda SkyActic models. Rustproofing is going to be essential if you want to keep your ride longer

Unfortunately our variants are different from these ones from the US or AU, still w/ the smaller infotainment

You mean FORTUNATELY[emoji4]...The pre-MDARS platform is much simpler, has way fewer BCMs & much easier to access & diagnose.[emoji4]

Oh, haven't read much of any issue with both. What's BCM (Body Control Module)?

Without those though, I was initially more inclined to the larger screen estate :D

Not issues, but the 7th gen on BPs & CX30s has seen a number of BCM firmware updates...a case of being too brainy?[emoji848]

What's BP?

...Brainy? or buggy?

Nonetheless, at least they're being worked on with updates... though quite hassle I guess
