We know that brand's longevity is now a myth.[emoji4]

I hope you can post pictures on how exactly you use this CTEK charger, with connections and this quick release terminals. It will also help if you can share where you bought these terminals. I'm planning to buy this charger once I get the details from you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The charger has a terminal to mate w/ this ComfortConnect cable which you leave on the car's batt...

I'm itching to click the buy button in the Lazada link you posted for this CTEK.. but I wanted to see first the Mazda 6 SKYACTIV-D and drive it home. It's already available today but I can't get it. I'm assigned here in Manila - Boracay unfortunately, and so I have to wait for a week.

It seems that the more you wait, the more it takes longer... With my long wait for the CR-V SX (3 months), I suddenly switched to Mazda. The CR-V SX is not available (I hope I can refund the reservation fee). From all the feedback I've read about Mazda, I don't think I'll ever regret this purchase. Plus factor is that we have expert members here like you.

It's a good time to buy those accessories while anticipating your new toy. A lot better than having your new toy without the accessories. [emoji4]

A coupla friends went thru the same & got their reservation fees back....& their reason was more change of heart than unavailability.
Patience was never among my strengths, but I survived the long wait more than 3years ago. The 3, my 1st Mazda experience was well worth it....now, we have 2 Ms. The engineering in Skyactiv, the premium minimalism of kodo & that distinct Mazda drive were main reasons I muffled mainstream logic of favoring the offerings from popular badges.
The post-Ford Mazda has drawn a growing crowd of converts. A lot I know are enthusiasts who own premium euros. Mazda's out-the-box/envelope-pushing philosophy, drive-centricity, focus in the details are some of the realizations only ownership can uncover. You can't see these outside looking in.
I'm no expert, sir. Just here sharing the joys of discovery & Mownership.[emoji4]

New toy with accessories... new toy without accessories. When you put it that way... So I clicked the buy button. To justify this, I'll use the refund to pay for it.

It will pay for itself. The refund is for other mods.[emoji4]

I really wanted a car that is fun to drive. However, I chose CR-V SX in consideration to space and riding comfort. My only reference to this is with my CR-V 98 when compared to my father's Sta Fe and Tucson. There's a great space difference with CR-V that my wife and two grown up kids complained that they feel so cramped inside whenever we use those Hyundai.

When I tried to drive the CR-V SX demo unit, I was satisfied. The same "large room feeling" is there. However, I admit that I couldn't feel the "power".

Since CR-V SX is not available, I switched to Mazda. I have no idea what it feels like to drive this car, so I have to take your word for it. And sooner or later, I'll share my driving experience.
