    not surprising they make the 2.5 standard. rest of the world got the D and will soon have the X in more than 1 model. if the first x variant here is a 2.5L or a 6cyl... w/e. the cx-3 is based on the 2, which here is the toyota yaris...? while not bad for those of smaller needs and stature, this will be for those that want a little more thrill, but still don't need something big.

    is it just frequency of the ~1500rpm idle, or that it happened whenever you(or other) started it? sometimes, for mine, it could be 2 hours later and it wouldn't need to high idle yet. I was told when i bought it, that i didn't have to let it go through that cycle, but i typically let it do it be cause it'll take me that long to get situated and buckled in,

    are you talking about how it idles high to warm up the CAT for 10-20 seconds?

    think safety and such regs will keep this off the road for a while?

    the best thing they have is the VC turbo....and the seats?

    i wasn't suggesting otherwise, just other factors could exacerbate the issue, especially if the refrigerant was barely low.

    just curious, would the position of the window make a difference, like a north window vs SE window, or shaded vs full sun? would it be a huge pain to switch the positions of them to see if it changes?

    i wonder how well the CX-30 will do when it comes out. guessing it'll take about 1/4 from cx-5 and 1/2 from cx-3.... ~22K for a 6 month time.

    rumor for next year's zen3 is; they might increase threads per core to 3, possibly 4.

    i was wondering if and when the 2.7L turbo 4 would make it into other vehicles.

    doesn't CARE..... a yugo? if it's broke then they don't have to care. you have someone else take care of it doesn't care.... tesla, minimum maint. limited range(mostly) and just plug it in so you can use it when you need to.

    from AC induction to DC motors? that's the opposite of freight hauling loco's, but makes sense for "city" driving. AC motors have harder time moving from a standstill. cool.

    sounds like a very similar setup to how mazda tuned the 2.5LT. Give it lots of grunt way down where most people drive anyway...even at the expense of high end(5K+) power from https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a25693266/2019-mazda-cx-5-turbo-by-the-numbers/ " The turbocharged CX-5's appeal isn't really about scorching performance, although the 250-hp engine does send it to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, nearly two seconds quicker than the base engine. But this engine is more effortless than exciting and is almost diesel-like in the way it doesn't like to rev. To maximize acceleration, the transmission upshifts at 5300 rpm—1000 revs short of redline—because the 2.5T's output tapers off so dramatically at high rpm. " if you want ease of driving, tune the engine this way. if you want highend power, you want it tuned differently...adding noticable turbo lag when not driven hard... or it'll be NA or super-charged...which it seems supercharged engines are only for the larger v-8s now...

    I always liked your analysis of things changing and technical options @dwightlooi.

    really like the ..ruby red in the top pic.
  24. loki
    that wouldn't work... at least given the status of the 200, the dart and such. unless it's a generator with a powerfull EV drivline.

    why not, they almost have it anyway in the US... Yaris iA sedan
