I can't imagine the cost of retrofitting those parts.

Another issue I have not experienced with my CX-5's. Sorry you are having it happen again. Hopefully they will replace it again.

I don't understand how this would create V6 to I4 swaps. 3.0l is a very common size for a V6. Interesting Mazda chose to go with a 3.3l I6 with this in mind.

Very interesting. So no issues with your front rotors as of yet? I planned to have my rear rotors and pads changed at 30k as my dealer said the pads were almost gone. I bought new rotors and pads and had an indie come to the house to do the job. He said the rear pads still had 50% left, but...

I have seen that message in mine before, but not on a regular basis. All sensors have issues sometimes. You should try a new Honda if you think the Mazda's automatic braking is bad. I had a 16 RDX which slammed on the brakes all the time when I was not close to cars at all. It was very...

Considering this the first time I have seen such a post on this forum or mazdaforum it can't be very common. He said I should look on more forums? Where? These are the most heavily trafficked Mazda forums. If it was going to show up, it would be on these forums. I hope he continues to...

Shocker that the OP hasn't come back. LOL. He thinks there are many others with this issue? His post about it is the first I have seen on any Mazda forums.

You can definitely buy paint with a brush. Try Dr. Colorchip.

I would personally do fluids- brake fluid, transmission fluid, differential/transfer (if AWD) and likely spark plugs as they are pretty old at this point. Make sure the battery is less than 3 yrs old as well.

Seems like a good deal to me.

That is silly it would only show CP and not AA. Why even bother if it doesn't work for both types of phones. I don't get automakers not including both AA and CP on any infotainment done today. Neither one is going anywhere soon.

Do any Mazda's show AA/CP on the HUD? My 21 does not.

But Toyota offers the Rav4 PHEV which has over 300hp and is significantly quicker to 60 than the V6 was. Mazda does not have such yet.

Where did you read this? That sounds like the Toyota hybrid used in the CX-50. I heard the system for the CX-5 will be a Mazda design. Mazda also said the hybrid will rival the performance of the current 2.5T motor. If we are talking about a bigger/heavier car it will certainly need more...

How much weight did this add to the car? Any difference in mileage?
