Car Accessories: Door Wind Deflectors

- by Riley Butler

Believe it or not summer is almost with us. Those long hot days where you spend hours in the car sat in traffic jams on the way to a day at the seaside or in a queue on your way to work, only to arrive and find that the rest of the country has had exactly the same idea.

Mazda has been bothering us with diesel engines for far too long. It is now available in the Mazda CX-5, but is it too little, too late? In fact, too expensive and too late may be the best way to formulate it. The 2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel unveiled at the latest New York International Auto Show is available exclusively in the Signature Edition at a high price of $ 45,950.
