In regard to cruise control remembering whether or not it was on: Umm... What exactly is the frustrating thing about it? If you want to use CC, then turn it on and set it. If you don't, then you can either turn it off, or you can leave it on and not set it. Turning the car off turns off the CC on your sister's car? Okay, what's the big deal about that? One "extra" button press? Truth be told, I have had functioning CC in only 4 of the 11 cars I have owned, and if you add up all of the times I actually used it, over the course of 30 years of driving, I could display that number on my two hands alone. Out of those times, most of them were just to use it to test out how it worked. You know -- as a novelty. It's something interesting, but not generally useful except for lengthy road trips in relatively light traffic. I once did a 44-hour drive in a brand new 1994 Beretta base model (from Albany, NY to Lubbock, TX). I drove over 2,000 miles in a car that had no CC. I would drive for roughly 3-4 hours or so, then stop for a 90 minute nap, rinse, repeat. I was hurting when I got to Lubbock. My hands were sore; my ankles were sore; my knees were sore; my elbows were sore; my neck was sore; and I desperately needed a good night's sleep. I don't know how much less sore I'd be with CC, though. Maybe marginally, at best. I currently commute to work, roughly 35 minutes each way, mostly highway driving, and although my current car has CC, I never use it, except to confirm that it worked when I first bought it.
Ahh. I’m a cruise control fiend (I’ll even use it in 25 mph zones) and the fact that I drive this all the time with a one button set makes the switch to two painful. Cool to hear from you though!
@@schmo611 I don't understand the practicality of it, most times. When I'm passing someone, I accelerate slightly, in order to pass more quickly. Conversely, I reduce my speed slightly while being passed, for the same reason. I actively alter my speed and position in traffic in order to keep other drivers out of my blind spots, and to allow all of us to more easily change lanes. In city traffic, well forget it. Standard cruise control is useless, thanks to all of the stopping, restarting, and variation in speed required.
Can you adjust the side mirrors? I just got this car, I’m afraid of breaking something. Reason why I ask is because a old van I used to drive I think another car came in contact with the side mirror so it got damaged when I had it parked outside the sidewalk
If yours is like mine, there should be a little dial on the driver door near the power window controls. If you rotate it to the left or right, you can use it as a joystick that moves the glass in the side mirrors. Other than the glass, I’m pretty sure you can move the whole assembly, but it shouldn’t require much force. Sorry if yours got damaged.
It’s like a Doug DeMuro and a classical music conductor had a baby! Love it!
I will say, I'm impressed you and your folks chose a vehicle with a manual transmission. Mazda manuals are pretty amazing.
Wow it deffonatly sounds like Dougs Channel. Thissss 😂 i love it
I like Doug and I like this video, I think Doug style will be a trend sometime in the future.
It is a touch screen, but factory disabled if the car is moving. You can go through the settings and make it touch screen enabled at all times.
Next to the traction button is the tire reset button for after you put air in your tire when the tire pressure warning light is on
Great content as always
😂
Lol kinda sounds like Doug/ Christopher Watkins. Very good
How do you lower the back seats?
