Hi Dave; my CX-5 trouble free to date.
Slow updates of satnav mapping (by HERE), similar to that with my QQ.

A particular feature I miss is dynamic tyre pressures; on my Mazda, will
only appear when they're outside the parameters.

Just had 1st map update in January, which on my BB Speed of just under 3mbps,
takes about 4 hours :shock:

A man talking up hybrids on LBC just now (Nick Ferrari- Enough is Enough). Seems there's a slag off of hybrids going on somewhere? Think people are not or not able to charge them (per handbook) so they have to drive on their tiny engines too much thus polluting the place. Can't drive into London of course.

Anyway, the man mentioned power infrastructure and said "Power Stations" along with 2035. Thought such stations were not allowed in one sided debate?

UK Leaf Ev prices and stuff here: (Note: half of UK fuel cost is taxes). Read the comments by the deniers...LoL
