And the latest ones with parking mode also throw in some cool features (it’s more software than hardware) where it detects lane departure, collision warning and car departure(where at traffic light the car infront moves while you are blurcase in your car, it alerts you to move before the bmw at the back horns you 😂)

The main thing is the clarity of the video, as you don’t want to take the video of the car who hit you and run away while your car is parked , only to find out that it’s not clear enough to get the car plate cause it’s dark/ car drove away too fast/ too bright etc.

Current cx5 owners already doing the power boot externally. There are shops that import the power boot set from overseas(cx5 overseas comes with power boot long time already, shops just install the things that factory didn’t install for you).

Afaik, the set include the leg swap, you can just don’t use the leg swap but it will be there, wouldn’t be any cheaper without if it install leg swap less. I may be wrong as I install it quite long time ago on the cx5 and there may be new different parts d.

Lol ppf is at a different price point. The more expensive coating also cannot match the cheapest ppf in terms of price as it would be more expensive. Unless u talking about just ppf is some prt of the car (like front and hood and door handle only) which then means u might have different color gradient given time under the sun( ppf tend to yellow out, whole car u might not see the diff, but annoying if your hood yellows but not your door, roof and boot). Maybe what u mean is wrapping ? Wrapping can be done with same color, or another color, gloss or matt as well with approx the price of coating.

Could the shape of the boot have any relation to the feel of size? If there are protruding area like wheel arch blocking, then your huge luggage (for example) might not fit proper .

My mum’s cx5 also had those swirl marks, and it’s like one round swirl with paint feeling corse at the hood. When taking the car I made a fuss with the sales agent (wasn’t him who sold it but his colleague, though he was the one handing it over to us). He said it’s like this one, nothing we can do. Finally I told him either u fix this, get us a new car or we walk out without the car. Then only he bring to detailing shop and fix. Next day came collect I meet his boss and we had a long discussion on integrity, honesty and customer service. Mazda Equine Park.

FD board rates drop due to moratorium. As your money saved in bank is used to provide loan to consumers taking loan. Due to moratorium, the banks have to recalculate the profit from those loans. As the FD is fixed when you deposit money(means it does not fluctuate from market price, the next best thing for the bank is to pare down your new FD rates (hence the low rate). This include operation cost for banks(utilities and staff salaries).

If the banks start to give lower rates for loan, your FD will be significantly lower. At this FD rates, most people would put their money elsewhere now thus the banks already lost big part of their business. Banks are required to have a certain amount of liquidity (cash) and ratio of liquidity to liabilities (loan). Meaning, they can’t loan out money that they don’t have.
