    Anyone know what the "A" in PE5R-18-110A spark plug means?

    I ordered some spark plugs for my cx-5 and I noticed the dealership I ordered them from online had PE5R-18-110A while some other stores have both PE5R-18-110 and PE5R-18-110A. Anyone know what the A means?

    Will I be disappointed with rear carseat room?

    Thanks everyone for setting me straight. I was going off the listed interior dimensions and I must have overlooked that the 2nd row seats could be moved a little bit. I do plan on going to check them out in person with the car seat, but right now my local dealer only has 1 CX-9 and its not the...

    Will I be disappointed with rear carseat room?

    I currently have a 2016 Mazda CX-5 which I bought new. It's been a great car. I have an almost 1 year old and as we start to venture out more we could definitely use a larger car to lug all his stuff with us. Besides limited cargo space, the room between the carseat and the passenger seat is...

    2021 CX-9 getting newer Mazda Connect, chances of CX-5 getting it?

    Funny, I only go to General really since I bought this car a few years ago. I completely forgot that subforum existed.

    2021 CX-9 getting newer Mazda Connect, chances of CX-5 getting it?

    I have a 2016 CX-5 and will probably need to add a second car this fall. I am tempted to get another cx-5 but my least favorite part of the car is Mazda Connect. Do we think the new Cx-5 will get the newer system too?

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    At least at the time I did it, Liberty Mutual only made me to drive with it for like 90 days, and I still have the discount applied years later.

    I haven't watched it, but it looks like this might be it.

    SkyActiv-X may not reach US shores

    So while it it produces almost the same HP (not the same, 176 vs 186), it only gains 9% better fuel economy and costs 27% more.

    Anyone have the Compustar CS4905-S-KIT system installed?

    Not sure if it applies to all cx-5 model years but some people have reported issues where Radar Cruise can't be activated if the car was started via the Fortin.

    Anyone have the Compustar CS4905-S-KIT system installed?

    As long as you use something that has a hardness, I don't think think you can really mess anything permanently. The Fortin install seems pretty straightforward, although its annoying that the Radar Cruise doesn't work when started via the Fortin. I saw someone in another thread say that it was...

    Anyone have the Compustar CS4905-S-KIT system installed?

    Over the last few months this kit has been offered by Best Buy for 250 installed including the Mazda harness and stuff. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with it in regard to the Mazda? I am trying to decide if I should bite on this if it comes up again or just install the Fortin One...

    Test drove 2019 CX-5. Disappointed

    There is a long thread here about a similar issue with the CX-5 so I am not sure that matters. https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123867445-2018-CX-5-Low-Speed-Transmission-Hesitation-Jerk-Lurch Anyway, I am tempted by the Rav4 hybrid also, although I haven't driven one yet. Last...
