I like my 2019 CX-5 Turbo, but if there's one major annoyance it is the required twice yearly service in Canada. I previously owned two Acura's that came equipped with a Maintenance Minder system. With my typical year round driving the service indicator would only come on once per year. Is...

Those with Auto Headlight feature should use it at all times. In don't know about US drivers but the amount of Canadian drivers not turning on their lights after dusk is out of control. Thankfully Transport Canada has decided to address the problem. "New manufacturing standards governing...

Yes, I do. I have a 2019 CX-5 Turbo and what I assume is a turbo whine also gets much louder in the 80-90 km/hr (50-60 mph) range only. Personaly find it quite annoying while driving on 80 km/hr city roads and highways. Basically have to drive under the speed limit or over (90+) to stop from...

Its to faint of a noise to record and you can only hear it while not playing any music. Interestingly my wife is not very observant when it comes to noises and she hears it as well. I can hear the turbo while accelerating but why Im getting the turbo noise while cruising in the 49 to 55 mph...

I purchased a 2019 CX-5 Signature in January 2019 and a few weeks ago I stated hearing a strange noise. While driving in the speed range of 80 km (49 miles) right up to 89 km (55 miles) there is a faint whining type of noise. Taking ones foot of the gas pedal the noise stops but resumes by...

Interesting in that you dont miss anything from the RDX. I recently traded-in a 2013 RDX and so far I kinda miss the following features. The more pleasant V6 sound when hard accelerating. Top down rear camera view. Great view for tight parallel parking. Auto tilt-down mirrors. Handy at...

- Memory-linked side mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down - Multi-angle rearview camera (particularly the top-down view) - Larger center console bin and armrest

Sonic Silver. With our 5 to 6 months of winter silver colours mask the salt and dirty slush better than darker colours. Also I noticed over time that there seems to be fewer silver CX-5*s so I won*t see myself constantly.

Based on my recollection of vehicles from the past few years (Acura's). Further, my memory is not what it used to be.

Must admit that I did not check the oil after purchasing my CX-5 Signature. With about 1,200 km I now did the 5 minutes specified check and it's about 1/4" above the full mark. Quite surprised because usually factory fills are right on. Wonder why it's not? Now with service departments...

Been driving for 52 years and never even come close to rear-ending someone. Have only had the CX-5 for a month and already received the BRAKE warning once. My wife and I looked at each other and could not figure out why we were getting the message. We were driving on a city street going...

I was reading Motor Trend 2017 Mazda RX-5 Long Term Review and Update 3 (https://www.motortrend.com/cars/mazda/cx-5/2017/2017-mazda-cx-5-review-long-term-update-3/) was a revelation. Quote "The CX-5's Smart Brake Support is definitely on the touchy/overzealous side, so much so that a few...

Recently purchased a 2019 CX-5 and I am also wondering about the instrument brightness setting knob. There appears to be only two setting, dull or very bright. Cannot find any description in the owner's manual about setting the brightness in steps. Is there a way?

I recently purchased a 2019 Signature and there is a LED light in the glove box. Why you don't have one I'm not sure. Perhaps they did not install the bulb or wiring at assembly. Totally agree about the lack of 360 camera, parking sensors, hell they did not even include an SG badge at the...
