    CX-5 Year, Mileage and Repairs

    2016 CX5 GT 140,000 miles - belt tensioner. Other than that it has been completely reliable. 2023 CX5 Turbo- 5,900 miles. No issues nor should it have any at this point.

    Choices and thoughts on a 2024 CX-5 purchase

    We've had a 2014 - got totaled in an accident but we were fine. 2016 GT- only issue ever was the belt tensioner. My son still drives it with zero issues and 140K miles now. It still drives great too. Finally, we have a 2023 Turbo but with only 5,700 miles it's still pretty much brand new...

    Fixed One Issue Another Came up - 2016 CX-5 Lifter knocking

    Also, remove the filter and cut it open.

    Fixed One Issue Another Came up - 2016 CX-5 Lifter knocking

    Sure sounds like a rod bearing. Happened to my kids old E36 BMW when the chain guide disintegrated and clogged the oil pump inlet filter. We had metal shavings all through the engine. I would advise not to start it at all. Have it towed in. Maybe you'll get lucky and the damage will be limited.

    CX-5 Turbo is the best AWD SUV for the money

    For me I wish our 2023 Turbo and all models went back to the touchscreen. On our old 2016 Gt I enabled it.

    ATF...Change or not?

    Agree 100%. Also there is no such thing as lifetime fluid. Given the type of miles I would change the tranny fluid. When we had our 2016 I did it every 50K. At the 100K mark I dropped the pan and changed the tranny filter too. My son now has the car with 135K miles on it and it still runs, looks...

    Down to 3 tire options. Opinions Appreciated!

    Have the DWs 06 Continental's on our 2022 Nissan Rouge. They are a giant upgrade over the oem Falken's. So far have only had them on for 9,000 miles and they grip well, are great in rain and dry weather plus they are quiet. No idea about snow since we don't get any in Houston.

    I want to buy a 2023 CX-5. What are the major issues?

    None. What I wish it had was wireless android and apple car play. In the past we've had a 2014 Touring. That car got totaled due to someone cutting in front of us. 2016 GT. Sold that to our oldest son. Has 130K miles and still drives great. Only issue was belt tensioner which was a known...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Cargo Tray Options?

    I'm very happy with the oem tray in ours. Fits like a glove. Also the oem rubber foot mats are great too.

    235/55/19 or 245/50/19 Tires (2021 CX-5 Signature)

    I just put Conti DWS06 Plus tires on my new company car. Nissan Rouge. BIG improvement over the stock Falkens. When our 2023 CX-5 Turbo needs it's first set right now I'm leaning towards the DWS06 Pluses again too.

    Great mpg so far on 2023 CX-5 Turbo

    Our 2023 Turbo has 1500 miles. According to the gauge on the car we are averaging 24.4 mpg. Our old 2016 FWD Grand Touring averaged 28.4 for my wife driving to school and back. More than likely the AWD, being a new car at least the first few hundred miles, a small weight difference and the...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I bought our 2023 CX5 Turbo in November. Paid MSRP less $500 for loyalty discount. No dealer mark ups. I think for sure the prices have dropped in the 60 days since then.
