With that price I bet they are hoping some poor schmuck misreads the mileage and thinks the car has 29k on it.

That link doesn't go to the full story anymore.. And yesterday the only detail in there was that the details would be released today (uhm) this story has details: https://www.motor1.com/news/261758/mazda-denies-cheating-emissions-test/ Put down the pitchforks everyone. A minor programming...

lol! At least OP didn't say that his Speedo is "off" I don't want to know what would show up in that case.

I think you missed it. Sounds like the dealer swapped wheels with another car on the lot?

In the 5 years since posting this thread I have embraced the feminine side of the car. photo from: http://pinklashcar.com/my-pink-lash-car/

Both my wife and I are 5'10" and we had the infant seat (Graco click connect) installed behind the driver's seat. I don't know how to handle twins, but with one infant, having a carrier that simply clicks into a pre-installed base was super convenient. Kid falls asleep in the car and you just...

The pads and rotors were done by pep-boys 3 years and ~30k mi ago. At first they tried to install non OEM rotors and pads, but something didn't fit right, so they tried some other pads or something. Next it turned out the rotors weren't the right ones, so we brought OEM rotors and pads (at the...

I did some brake work on my wife's rav4 v6 over the weekend. (installed the required anti squeal shims that somehow went missing the last time the pads were changed at a shop) This involved spending a little time browsing rav4 forums. There are so many threads that are wrong, unanswered or...

If her husband wasn't a penny pinching tight wad and got her AWD things would have been totally different.

I just pictured you slowly coming out from the woods with a shovel (to fix the road of course) and creepily approach the van as the frightened lady tried to speed off for her life.

That's not how things work. If you assume the 15% is correct than 3HP at the wheels is 3.529 at the crank. 3.529 crank HP * (1 - 0.15) = 3 wheel HP

you might want to read that study again. The gain was 2HP! not 20!

I have a feeling the Toyota pictures only show it from the very best angles. In person it might still look like an overstyled turd.

The plugs you got were NGK ILKAR7L11 right? What was the price at O'reiley?

Sounds to me like you've got most things covered. How quickly, or slowly you accelerate doesn't matter nearly as much as how much you use the brakes. If you need to brake that means that you've accelerated too much and you've wasted fuel. Also, if you can accelerate more quickly and catch a...

Seems like it could go all the way to 20k! Makes me feel even more comfortable running mine on Schedule 1 (7,500mi) instead of 5000mi What are your driving habits? Very few short trips I assume?

am I reading this correctly? You did 10,000mi on the oil and the in-car oil life monitor still had oil life at 50%!?

If I remember that thread right you also wanted a bigger gas tank to add even more weight. As it stands, my CX-5 is closer in weight to a 2015 Miata than it is to a 2018 CX-5 GT AWD. (popcorn)

Lets see some pictures. You might now have the highest mileage CX-5 here congrats! how much did you pay? Mine just rolled over 73,000 today. new spark plugs for me soon.
