Dampers: MagneRide dampers are filled with magnetorheological fluid. There is an electromagnet internal to the damper that may be energized. When energized, a magnetic field is created, causing the fluid to change its effective viscosity.

Low-velocity damping control
Ability to ‘draw’ Force-Velocity curve
Fast response
Ride and Handling Performance: Easier to drive on challenging surfaces; “Blend of balance and grip is near perfect”.

To be fair if you dont order your car with it you will struggle to sell it on again as its one of those must have options...

Thank you AA355

But in this topic they said that the standard suspesion is much better.

Hmmm I am confused

I don't understand : if three knowledgeable owners answered your question a couple of weeks ago why do you need to ask it again ?

[Mazdarati]

Cause want to know more about it. How it works etc.
Lets get back to topic

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

I belive they did a software upgrade on the latest cars which improved the car (not sure when) so it was not as soft. If you look at main dealer cars they all have the upgrade. I would advise in having it. I have driven the latest California in a very spirited manner on country roads with no problems of bottoming out etc. It was extreemly stable and confidence inspiring. A very miss represented car which you will love I am sure.

Thanks for answers
Will order it too )))

Also one more question about navsystem anti theft.
How it works ? Should i need to enter some code when i open the car and want to start the engine ?
Cause on some models you have a small interface where you enter code and only after you entered corrected code the car will start.

And also it is worth putting protecting decal on front bamper from bugs and scrathes?

[andy355]

in the uk it is a navtrak system where you carry a card. not sure in russia what you have, navtrak does work there i believe.

im getting mine tomorrow, 2010 car

are you buying new, if so what colour and options are you going for?

[Mazdarati]

Yes i am buying new one.
Options
Parking sensors rear and front
Magneride dual suspension
20 rims
2+2 seats
1950 color blue
Beige interior
I think this is the main options ))


So about navtrack
You must carry a card everytime with you? And if you leave a car with cqrd it will shut down? Can you explain a little bit more info how it works ?

Also any info about protective decal on front bamper is it necessary?

[andy355]

yes you need to carry the card with you, it fits in a wallet. the system disarms if the card is in range. if you dont have it then the vehicle will be tracked by the centre and if they cannot contact you to verify its a false alarm they contact the police

i dont know about the protective film, it never looks perfect to me so its a personal choice whether to add that or potentially suffer stone chips

[Mazdarati]

Thanks andy355

But what do you think, is it worth ordering this navtrack ?
Cause it will be not everyday car but a weekend or maybe even sometimes during a month cause it will be in my another coutry house.

[andy355]

here it is usually a requirement from insurance companies to have it fitted. I dont know much about car theft in Russia and how insurance works.

[Mazdarati]

No i am buying car in France ))) i have a house there thats why it will be used seldom only when i am in france.
