    My Mazda app "send to car" feature issue

    Ladd is correct, there is no Maps icon in MyMazda: latest version 7.2.2, 14.5, iPhone 12 Pro. Only a pin for dealer search.

    Tear in seat...Repair options?

    Just discovered 1" slit in my rear passenger seat. No idea when it happened but must have set something with a sharp corner on it. What is my best option for repair?

    Dead Key Fob

    Just push Start. That suspend bug would be annoying. If someone breaks into our garage to steal the car, they will have a very bad day.

    Dead Key Fob

    Confirmed. Just changed mine since I have lots of 2032 because it's used by many devices. Car was occasionally giving me a low battery alert. Original battery is probably only 18 months old but I leave the fob in the car at home. After the swap, the old battery tests at 2.97v so plenty of...

    Mazda Ranked Highly by CR

    Actually, CR gives the 2018 CX-5 their highest rating for reliability. It ties the 2018 Subaru Forester for reliability, is just a bit below the 2018 RAV4, and way better than the Hyundai Tucson. Owner satisfaction is way higher than the RAV4 and nearly the same as the Forester.

    Winter/Snow tires

    Swapping out the all-seasons for my DM-V2 wheel set today. First big storm of the year arrives Wednesday evening. Changing wheels on the CX-5 is easy compared to the F-150...those things are HEAVY.

    95 Octane Only

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating You use RON, we combine RON and WON which drops the number about 5 points. But the gas is essentially the same. Here in Colorado, our regular gas is 85 and it's fine unless you drive to a much lower altitude (not possible in one tank). 87 is our...

    95 Octane Only

    Different scales. Your 95 would be 90 in the US.

    Getting Used To Automatic

    The Mazda transmission is pretty great in most conditions. But it can't handle my road; tight and twisty with a lot of elevation gain. There's a 1.5 mile section on the climb that I have to shift into M2, otherwise it's just hunting for the right gear. My 1985 380SL Benz handles this section...
