    Awkward Reflection

    It's not the rear view mirror that is causing the reflection. The reflection is being caused in the driver side window. Roll down the window and you'll see the reflection go away. It's not ideal but it won't change. I have 2019 signature

    A presumed safety item that isn't safe - daytime running lights

    I turned off my light to test in the night while driving momentarily, and the front illumination did not change, only the dash suddenly became bright. There is no way I could tell from inside if my headlights were off and just DRL were running or if both lights were on.

    Radar cruise control - slow down and lurch ahead

    When following another car in stop and go slow moving traffic, I've seen that my CX5 sometimes slows down after the car, but suddenly lurches as if someone cancelled cruise control or hit gas, and then a second later applies brakes again. I am not sure if it is sensing my lightly placed foot on...

    Optimal cruising MPG

    I did a 1000 mile mostly freeway roadtrip, and average cruising speed at 72mph, got 27mpg on regular. I've estimated that I get about 23mpg cruising at 80mph, 25-27mpg crusing at 70-72mph, and 27-30mpg crusing at 70mph. Which is pretty good because my Signature is rated 27 for highway and I...

    Hoot/Whistle sound in high speed/high winds

    Driving on the I-5 (both directions) past weekend, near Tejon Pass in LA, I heard sharp and loud whistle/hoot sound coming from the left A pillar. This only happened in short bursts. My speed was 70-75 mph and high winds outside, the sound was primarily coming on during curves and lane changes...

    Spontaneous infotainment restart and settings reset

    I had to manually reprogram all favorites and oil/service indicators... surprisingly, other settings were not lost (audio, active driving display, brightness, etc)

    Instrument panel reflection on windshield

    Never noticed this reflection of the instrument cluster. Have occasionally noticed reflection of the infotainment system, but thats not the same as this.

    Oil change schedule - fixed vs flexible?

    So after the infotainment restart yesterday, I set it to flexible and it said I have 1200 miles to go. That seemed ok, but even after driving for 100+ miles, it still shows 1200 miles to go! :|

    Mazda offering 0.9% financing PLUS 90 days deferred payments

    I wonder how deferred payments help in any way? You would still end up paying the same amount. If inflation was high (7-10%+) then the time value of money would make this a slightly better deal :)

    Oil change schedule - fixed vs flexible?

    Today my infotainment spontaneously restarted, resetting most settings including maintenance schedule. In trying to reset, I wonder if people here use flexible or fixed schedule? I am currently at 6300 miles and 4 months of ownership, set it up for flexible maintenance and it shows maintenance...

    Spontaneous infotainment restart and settings reset

    Hi all, Long gone are the days of freezing and crashing infotainment... but today I had a spontaneous restart while driving. This isn't the first time this happened, but this is the first time all my settings were reset. This was frustrating since it reset my maintenance schedule, phone and...
