So I did give up my BSBL order on 4/20/22 after purchasing the CX-50. Yes I could see light at the end of my 6 month wait with a build week of next week, but the Mazda won me over. I test drove both vehicles multiple times and for me it came down to multiple key differences. Obviously both are...
Just wanted to give anyone in SoCal, or anyone willing to make a trip, a heads up that there will be a fully loaded 2022 BL (Catus Gray, premium, tow, 360 plus, crossbars, moon roof, cargo management, cargo mat, coming to Kearny Mesa Ford in San Diego sometime in June. The scheduled build week...
The new pricing is live for builds on Ford's site. Not only did MSRP go up, but many of the add-on accessories did as well. My exact BL order that I ordered last December and is being built the week of 9 May has a $3635 increase if I were to order it today. I called my dealer and they confirmed...
I was doing some light reading through the manual for the 2022 and stumbled across the GLOBAL OPENING AND CLOSING section on page 92. Since I do not have my BL yet, can anyone confirm if this works? This can be very useful if living in hot climates. I routinely will open up all the windows in my...
Are you positive you can change your order? After I was scheduled and had a VIN, my order was locked. I tried to add floor mats and was told no changes can be made.
What blow's my mind is how Mazda made a vehicle that is physically bigger than the BS by a lot but manages to have less cargo room. The culprit is that the CX-50 has a much lower height to keep the Mazda sporty handling on road. The safari-style roof on the BS really is nice and adds a lot of...
They're nice. Checked one out in person and was going to pull the trigger until the sales manager told me they were adding $3900 in ADMs. Called three other Mazda dealers in SoCal and all were doing some form of markup, either straight 3K MSRP or anywhere from $1900 to $3900 in ADMs. No thank...
I did the same test. I set the drivers seat for myself (6’1”) and then sat behind myself and had enough room. It’s just that weird angle that child seats put kids legs at that eats up valuable space. Luckily, as I mentioned in my original post, we’re at the end of the super angled car seat and...
I'm writing this as an FYI for anyone that has ordered or is thinking of ordering a BS and you have a small child in a car seat.
Today I took my family (Me, Wife, 5yr old son) to test drive a BSBL. Even though I ordered one last December, I've never had the opportunity to test drive the 2.0...
You should be scheduled next round. When I got told I was priority 2 on a Monday, I got the production email that Thursday. My order went in as a priority 15 and I waited over two months to get scheduled because I want all the goodies. Good luck.
Yes, I already have a production week of May 9th for my BL. Who knows, maybe even a Maverick if I get the VIN email eventually. It will be fun to play it out if they did use my info without my consent.
I'm writing this for those that are not 100% set in stone on their BS order like I am. I've had a BL on order since December and have a production week of May 9th. I have been interested in both vehicles since release.
So today was the day. I got to see a CX-50 in-person, no test drive...
