Yes I agree. I bought my cx-5 last summer, hardly ever saw another one in my town. Now I see a cx-5 everywhere I go. One cx-5 driver waived at me last weekend. I made a disgusted face at them in return.

13 months - 13,000 miles so far How boring

yes, thank you. this is why i'm always confused. a button is always lit which confuses me. and yes the manual dials are hideous. 1/10 would not bang

Okay every car I've owned has always had a simple off button that would disable the fans in the car. The CX-5 w/ manual climate controls doesn't have this. Do I just keep control dial at 0, the mode selector at the base/feet position and the recirculate cabin air button on? Here's a photo of...

Just shy of 5,000 miles my CX-5 Touring is acting up. I recently went on vacation and left my car for about 5 days. When I returned; I started the engine, warmed it up for a couple minutes and hit the road. I was on the freeway and had to speed up to pass a car, probably going close to 70 mph I...

Ok where is this cargo light? Last night I opened the hatch and nothing....pure darkness.

I'm at 3,500 miles. Started hearing that same center rattle two weeks ago.

- No light in cargo space, meaning when I open the cargo at night I cannot see anything - total darkness. Don't know why Mazda didn't figure to throw in a light back there. - Rattle in center dash/center front speaker. - Nav System has started acting up/freezing on me lately - Only owned car...

I've only owned my cx-5 for 3 weeks and its been a great car so far. However the lack of power/torque is still something I'm getting used to. Getting onto freeway on ramps is a struggle, IMO. Anyways this past weekend I went on a short road trip which consisted of driving up a 2 1/2 mile hill...

I've been keeping my ipod plugged to the usb, which has seemed to work just okay. The issue I'm noticing is that the ipod seems to reset itself randomly after I turn off the car. I can be listening to a song, turn off the engine, turn it back on and instead of continuing from where I last left...

Is this possible or do I have to always push the start button twice immediately after I shut the engine down?

I've only had my cx-5 for 1 week and just today I heard a slight rattling noise from the engine as I was parking in my driveway. I believe I read something similar on this forum a few days ago but I could be mistaken. Also has anyone noticed how 'rough' the engine start is?

nice - i really want to see that color in person

Front License Plate Unlike some other states, California law requires that all cars have a front license plate. Not having this front plate will get you a traffic ticket. This is true even if your car was made to not hold a front license plate. Purchase an adaptor kit and screw on a front...
