Believe the new CX5 still has cylinder deactivation and auto start/stop.

2026 Mazda 3 base No CVT No sunroof No cylinder deactivation Cloth seats 2.5L non turbo ultra reliable DI engine Also No auto start/stop And most importantly!!! J VIN

Recently got to experience the Honda LKA ... quite obtrusive. My friend usually turns of that "feature".

Hope it stays "seamless". I'd rather the simplicity of not having it.

All the 2026 3's (both sedans & hatchbacks) at my local dealership are J VIN's. They also lost auto start/stop and cylinder deactivation this year in the non-turbo models. Sweet!!!

Seems the CD and auto start/stop did not materialize. To the replies that questions how trivial it is to push a button to deactivate the start/stop I believe you're missing the point ... I'd prefer not to have that ridiculous system engineered into my vehicle at all. Also, all the 2025 Mazda...

Apparently, I've been duped by internet lore. Haven't found any reputable source supporting the claim that either of these (2) unfortunate feature are being discontinued in 2026.

And unlike the CX30 you can get the 3 sedan in FWD. This is getting better and better :)

The start/stop is a minor avoidance if you can disable it with a button, the MUCH bigger change (if true) is the cylinder deactivation. If these changes come to fruition the Mazda3 will check a lot of boxes for me: - No turbo with no cylinder deactivation - No auto start/stop - No CVT The...

I'm luvin' it!!!

That was my point. Base model Mazdas and Nissans have Blind spot & Cross traffic alerts. Subaru base models do not.

I was very surprised I was surprised to learn Subarus don't have blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert as standard equipment.

That doesn't sound too good

I believe the safety suite is standard throughout the model line.

I know Honda's features are quite obtrusive and a friend told me his wife's Palaside operates much better than his new Suburban. Mostly speaking of lane keep assist & adaptive cruise control.

Why would I rather enrich the USA rather than enrich our adversary?

Well Honda and Toyota haven't taken care of the customer on the front end in recent years. MSRP + ridiculous supplemental stickers. Robbery

I don't want to buy automotive stock but would like to support companies investing in America. Conversely many domestic auto makers manufacture cars in Mexico, S Korea, and elsewhere.
