    2017~2025 I've been complaining about too bright headlights for years

    You're right; my bad! Here's a link to one solution the aftermarket is toying with. https://www.autoline.tv/on-the-road/do-you-hate-headlight-glare-gentex-has-a-great-solution-for-you-ces-2026/

    Do you have climate control running when it does this? If so, yes, it's totally normal.

    2017~2025 I've been complaining about too bright headlights for years

    The lights on my wife's '23 are great also (from a driver's standpoint), as are those on my '18 Mazda 3 (same technology). But I would have to agree with the OP that today's head lights (from an oncoming driver's POV) are irritating. In fact, I have made it a point to check the headlights of...

    What do you call this?

    You're not going to be able to buy that separately. Best bet would be a junkyard. All 1st gens should be the same and it's just a cover for the emergency park release (for when you can't get the trans out of park in the normal manner).

    These engines loosen up after 5 or 6k miles. My guess is that's what you're feeling.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Memory seat setting procedure?

    I've tried that numerous times without success. I believe the trick is to have pressed the start button the right number of times before pressing the set and seat # buttons, but I'll be damned if I can figure out the right combination. Every time I try to set it, the next time I unlock the door...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Memory seat setting procedure?

    Will someone please tell me the EXACT procedure for setting the driver's seat memory as well as the key fob memory. This is my wife's car and I don't drive it that much, but every time I get into it the memory function doesn't position the seat where I thought I had set it. I've tried using...

    How is your ride quality with 20" wheels?

    And is that a good thing or no on a daily basis?

    How is your ride quality with 20" wheels?

    Thanks for the input but looking for comments here from owners of CX-50s with 20" rims being satisfied or unsatisfied with stock ride quality. If I were to buy one, I would have no intention of investing in smaller aftermarket wheels/tires, so I'm interested in how satisfactory or not the OE...

    How is your ride quality with 20" wheels?

    My wife has a '23 CX-5 with 19s and we've recently had occasion to rent the same car with 17s and there is a noticeable difference in ride quality. That's why I'm wondering if the same is true with the 20" CX-50 or if Mazda has tuned the suspension any better with the newer design. Also, my 2018...
