Update: Was at Mazda Dealer for 40K service, and had they look at battery. They said it was fine. Not sure who to trust, because this is the same dealer who two times ago (30k service) told me I would need brakes very soon(in yellow on their chart), but at the 35k service, and today at the 40k...

I have a 2015 CX-5 GT with about 40,000 miles on it. I bought it in April of 2014. Was at the shop yesterday, due to a tire issue, and they told me that my battery needed replacement. It was below standard. I contacted my local Mazda dealer today,and they told me the battery did not have a...

Kennedy Mazda in Conshy wanted $450, while North Penn in Colmar/Montgomeryville wanted $345 without any coupons. My local independent shop in Collegeville said $130 if pads only, and about $250 if I need rotors as well. What caught me by surprise, and what question was really about, was the line...

I have a 2015 with 35,000 miles.

Quick Question: Looks like I'll be needing new rear brakes shortly. Dealer quoted me $450. Other local dealer quoted me $345. Both said that the rotors on the car are lighter/thinner/softer metal than in the past, and that new rotors are required at EVERY pad change. I then called my local...

I have 33000 on my rears now, and was told at my last service, that they'll need replacing probably at my next service- 36k. My fronts are nowhere near replacement time. I drive a lot of highway miles.

I HATED them in the snow and ice, and just disliked them in regular driving. I find they ride too hard. I switched to a CX5 from an older MDX, so maybe I was spoiled. My old car, with Michelin Cross Terrains handled like a beast in the snow, and really well the rest of the time. I just bought...

I was told it is 0.9 for the 2014s and 1.9% for the 2015s, if you finance for up to 72 months. If you finance up to 36 months for a 2015, it was 0.9%.

Hello, New to the forum here. Just bought my first Mazda yesterday. A 2015 CX-5 Meteor Grey Grand Touring. MSRP was $30,480 including destination-had wheel locks, roof rails and bumper guard already installed. Got it for $1654 off of that price ($28,826) plus tags and tax. Price shopped with 4...
