Same here, our 3 previous CX-5's have all had the 17" wheels, and the 2021 was the first we have owned with 19" wheels. It is not a night/day difference, but I do feel like it was more supple with the 17inch wheels and tires.

We live in an area with extreme pot holes, ruts, and missing asphalt, and we are looking to gain more sidewall height to protect our spines and other joints.

Hello to my wise and trusted fellow forum members. It is coming up on new tire time for our 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD. I am contemplating on downsizing from the 19" wheels to the 17" wheels. Looking to hear from some others here that might have done the same thing. While I am looking at...

It might be possible that when they replaced the seat to fix the damage, that the replacement seat 2016 came from a flood car. That motor looks terrible.

I am curious why you bring up possible rodent damage? Do you have any signs of this anywhere on the vehicle or where you park?

I foresee a naming problem a lot of people are going to confuse the cx30 and the mx30

Before throwing any $$$ at it, please verify all of the COWL bolts are tight. I have seen a few others chasing a mysterious knock/tap/clunk from the 2013-2015 range that is solved with a cowl bolts torque check. There is a TSB out there / on here for the proper torque and bolts affected.

or adjust the dimmer for the dash.

Bad or poor condition brake fluid that is contaminated with water can still look clear and acceptable. The reservoir is not a good example of the entire system's condition, and only represents a very small portion of the total amount of fluid in the system. For a proper and inexpensive test...

Very nice surprise Mazda! My dealer has my phone number for when they come in...;)

Sorry for the misunderstanding I never said they were a failure point on a 2014, however they are a common failure point and cause of rough idling issues on any of the Mazdas that use the hydraulic motor mounts post 2004
