Just got my 2025 CX-50 Meridian… anyone else loving this car?

That looks amazing! I love the CX-50 Meridian edition. I’ve got a CX-30 Carbon Turbo in Zircon Sand, and I’m trying to turn mine into a mini-Meridian edition. I just ordered the hood decals! Did you know Corksport has off-road lights for the hood? They come with a bolt-on bracket, no drilling needed. I wish they’d make one for the CX-30. Honestly, if I could fit your bigger motor in my car, I’d figure out how to make it work. Mine’s at 250hp with 320tq on premium fuel.

Do you have a link for those off-road lights? I’d love to check them out. This car is just incredible! I looked at the CX-30 too, but it felt a little small for me. Still a great car, though!

Here you go: Mazda CX50 Hood Mounting Brackets for LED Spot and Flood Lights. They’ve got the whole kit with lights, wiring, and everything. It’s $299, but it’s worth it.

Awesome, thanks for the link!

I’ve had my car for three months now. Already added carbon fiber interior trim and got the driver and passenger windows tinted.

Nice! I’m planning to tint my windows too.

Welcome to the Mazda family!

Does the Meridian trim come without that hood decal?

Funny, my wife asked the same thing. I don’t think so. This was the only one available in Sand in my area, and I really like the color.

The hood decal isn’t just for looks. It actually helps reduce sun glare when you’re on trails.

Congrats on the new car. It’s a beauty.

That’s a stunning car! Congrats!

How did you manage to get 0% financing?

Ah, makes sense. I got my 2024 back in April.

@Drew
That’s why I decided to go new. It lets me keep my money invested elsewhere. I thought about going used, but being in the southeast, I worry about flood-damaged cars.

Do you have kids, or is this more of a personal car?

My kids are grown, so it’s just my wife and me. We still have a 2014 Acura MDX with a third row if we ever need it.

Congrats! That’s such a nice car.

What roof rack are you using? Can you share a link? I already have crossbars but need a good rack.
