QUESTION, COFFEE & CARS #15 // WHY DOES ZACK HATE THE CX-90??

EV Channels Review

This episode of Questions, Coffee & Cars delves into a variety of automotive topics, with a significant focus on the Mazda CX-90. While the hosts acknowledge the CX-90's engaging handling and spaciousness, particularly for families, Zack expresses reservations about its new inline-six engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. He notes instances where the transmission stumbles, especially during on-and-off throttle transitions, which detracts from an otherwise dynamic driving experience. Despite this, he concedes that the CX-90 offers more driving fun than many other three-row SUVs. The discussion also touches upon the challenges of vehicle availability and pricing in the current market, the merits of PHEVs versus standard hybrids, and the reliability of German luxury brands versus Japanese counterparts. The hosts recommend Toyota and Lexus for reliability, while acknowledging their continued preference for German brands despite potential issues.
