How intriguing that the CX-90 completely outshone the Q7 after you upgraded from a 23-year-old Lexus. The CX 90 has a number of quarks, including premium features that aren't up to par with Lexus or Audi, but it's aesthetically pleasing and has a leather inside. Though the brown quilted leather interior of my fully-loaded premium turbo S is stunning, I can't help but believe that it's missing a few high-end features found in the Lexus (even at 23MY) and the updated Q7. Guarantee that your software is flashed and updated correctly. It appears to have eliminated most of the peculiarities, but the gearbox is still really jerky; they called it sporty, but it's more like incredibly choppy. Mazda deserves a lot of credit for their exterior styling, which is noticeably more subdued compared to Lexus and the Q7.

Seems promising; I'll report back next week with the results. The GX460 was a nightmare to drive, and I rarely retain vehicles for more than a few years, so I never had to worry about the GX460 lasting 300,000 miles.

I am relieved that you were able to resolve the issue with your tires, while I am sorry to hear about it. The fact that you could test drive a CX-90 for an extended period of time is fantastic. I can't believe you traded in your Lexus for a CX-90. Never test drove a Highlander or Grand Highlander, and there weren't any for sale in my area, so I opted against purchasing one. Looking back, I think the ride quality would have been too soft.

Greetings everyone! I am new to Mazda and recently got receipt of a brand new 26 CX-90 Premium Sport. Three vehicles were on my radar: the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Audi Q7, and the Honda Trailsport/Pilot. They were completely outclassed by the Mazda in every way: handling, power, features, and appearance. Also, I had the opportunity to borrow this car for a 500-mile drive on my recent holiday and I absolutely loved it. Along with the favourable lease price and conditions, that was the deciding factor. I am really pleased with my purchase of a Machine Grey Prem Sport. So, here's what went down: I felt a lot of vibration and the trip was overall bumpy. Two days after returning it to the dealership, I discovered that three of the tires were faulty! I will be replacing the set of Toyotas next week. Until then, I am borrowing a gorgeous CX-90 Prem Plus in rhodium. My car is in perfect working order and I can't wait to get it back. Although I am aware that these vehicles can be finicky, I would prefer to cope with a few problems rather than spend all my time fiddling with my automobile. Just so you know, I sold my 23 Lexus GX460 since it was a boring SUV. Anticipating feedback from this community. Best regards.

Someone ought to know about this and have verified it!

You have my mechanic's gratitude.

My mechanic has received your message of gratitude.

Everyone had a star xentry diagnostic, but I'll have to enquire about the leak off test.

The other possible explanation is a leak back, or excessive leak off. Helpful because it often doesn't display any problems until it won't start at all! If even a single injector fails to attain pressure due to severe leakage back, the entire system will not fire. A single recon injector fixed the issue I was having with my 270 5-pot.

real-time information — rail pressure and cam/crank lining up....

Does anyone know who has tested for diesel leak off? I was wondering if any of the repair shops had expertise in Mercedes diagnostics using Star or Xentry.

Hello, I am experiencing trouble starting my b-class. It turns over with no issues, however it fails to engage the accelerator pedal. No problems have ever shown up on the computer after I had new glow plugs, referb injectors, a dpf filter, sensors, and a starting motor installed. I've taken the car to three different garages and mechanics, and none of them have been able to solve it. The 65-plate vehicle still drives well and has 28000 miles on the odometer. If I don't sell it before I give up

Prepare to leave some money on the table

I am always cautious when full payment is requested via bank transfer, but these experiences do suggest a structured system rather than an informal arrangement. If they continue honouring the 14 day return policy consistently, that will strengthen their reputation over time.

Thank you for coming back with an update. That is reassuring to read!

I decided to proceed. I made the payment this morning. I will admit it was slightly nerve-racking pressing the confirm button on the transfer. Delivery has been scheduled for next week. I will update the thread regardless of the outcome so others can make informed decisions.

I am a mechanic, so I will just add some general advice regarding repossessed vehicles. Always review the service history carefully. Run a diagnostic scan for stored fault codes. Inspect suspension components and clutch wear. Check for signs of neglected servicing. A 14 day inspection period is actually more generous than what many independent sellers provide. If the funds are genuinely held in a segregated account until approval, that does reduce financial risk significantly. Just make sure you use that inspection time properly!

How did your borther paid for the car???

I had not heard about their vehicle sales division before so I did some background research. The company has been registered since 2014 and has a proper Belfast address listed. There were no obvious warning signs when I checked and they had a substantial profit margin over one million pounds. That said, repossessed vehicles can vary depending on how well they were maintained by previous owners. I would strongly recommend using the 14 days inspection period properly and arrange a full mechanical check and do not rely solely on photographs.

I am following this thread closely as I have been looking at a 2019 BMW 320d they have listed on Gumtree. The price is very competitive compared to dealers near me in Glasgow. My only concern is buying without physically seeing it first. Has anyone here actually visited their premises in Belfast before committing?

Hi, Yes we purchased through Ticvanagh Transport earlier this year, we bought a 2018 Nissan Qashqai for my son after he passed his test. I was very unsure at first especially because payment is via bank transfer. However, they clearly explained that the funds stay in a ring fenced business account and are only released once you confirm you are happy with the vehicle after the 14-day inspection period. Delivery took eight days in our case. The driver called in advance and arrived exactly when promised. The car matched the description and the hpi report they had sent us. From our experience, everything felt legitimate and organised.

If you want to pass those people who drive at 40 miles per hour or more, Sports + is the way to go.

Sport+ makes them slightly more aggressive. In my opinion, the most useless setting for regular on-road driving a 2.0 diesel. Due to its exorbitant price, no one ever uses it.
