Great, thank you so much!

Hi, I own a CX-5 GS with 17" tires and am shopping for winter tires. Tire Rack recommends (among others) the minus size 225/70R16. The thing is, I just checked the Michelin X-Ice I had on the Tribute I traded in and they're 235/70R16. Would those be ok as well? That would save me LOTS as I...

Oh! That makes sense. At least there is something that can be done. Thank you!

I couldn't find anything about that in the user manual, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know of a faster way to scroll through your music on a USB-connected iPod Classic (160GB) in the CX-5? The thing is, because the system takes control of the iPod, you can't use its interface to...

After only a few days with mine, so I can't yet attest for MPG, but here goes: 1) The look. The first time I saw it in an ad or something I knew I had to get one. I always had 4+yr old cars before that one, so it was a first buying a new car. I guess you could call this love at first sight ;^)...

Got it! Got a call on Thursday that it was delivered and went to pick it up yesterday. So the wait was from April 20 to July 6. But oh boy was it worth it. I love it!

I paid the dealer a visit today. I hadn't heard anything for quite a while and I was even prepared to change the car's color if it would mean getting it faster. But oh would you look at that! Not only have I got a VIN now, but it's also marked as "dealer rail". Welcome to Canada, El Marto's...

Congratulations on your new purchase! Yours got here much faster, did it! On my side, it's now more than 9 weeks later and I still don't have a VIN... <sigh>

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I ordered my CX-5 GS FWD (in red) on April 20th and still nothing to this day. When I called the dealership this morning, I was told I still didn't have a VIN assigned. I tried to call Mazda Canada and understand what was going on, but they were even less...

I ordered mine on April 20th and when I called this week, my red GS was not even assigned a VIN yet. <sigh> The dealer doubts it'll be here before June. Drats!
