    This is Delaware weather from the 60's.

    Open door light keeps coming on

    There's a fuse but it might control more than just the lights. Are you talking about the lights near the rear-view mirror. If so you can toggle them off by using the little rocker switch. If the rear passenger seat lights also stay on you can pull the bulbs.

    There were too many reports to dismiss it. Something was going on.

    You sure you got a Turbo?

    Is the Turbo CX-5 noticeably faster?

    We have both. It's definitely more powerful. The low end torque is much greater and there's no dead spots on the way up. Once you break it in take it out on the interstate and apply power, you'll see the difference.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Yeah, there was a video floating around about some fool trapped in a Tesla because he couldn't figure out how to trigger the manual door release when the battery died.

    Seat covers and dog mat

    Lots of options on Amazon. What do you mean by boot? You need something to cover the hatch on the center console if your dog likes to try getting up front. I use a large heavy towel to cover it otherwise it would be scratched to hell.

    New member here w/ a few questions about a new CX-5

    That seems safer and easier than trying to feather the brake pedal.

    Is this the dreaded leak?

    My 19 Reserve's reservoir doesn't look like that. Was the original replaced somewhere along the line.

    New CX-5 Turbo Premium Owner

    Wish they would illuminate the active garage door buttons on the homelite mirror. They only have a little light in the middle and it's a pain trying to select the proper button with no lighting. I have multiple doors programmed and when I pull in at night I usually hit the wrong one.

    I've been complaining about too bright headlights for years

    It's exacerbated by the people driving around with their high beams on.

    Weird leak, help

    It's probably coolant and it's probably working it way from the front to the middle. Does your vehicle have the under-body plastic lid that protects the bottom? If so you might want to remove that and see if you can see spot where the leak is coming from.

    I've been complaining about too bright headlights for years

    At night it seems that just about every vehicle has their high beams on. https://www.autoblog.com/news/how-bright-headlights-escaped-regulation-and-blinded-us-all

    What do you call this?

    It's the shift lock cover. You could probably make one.
