    When do you gas up your CX-5

    Holy crap that's like 38 miles to the gallon! I'm impressed. For the record I usually fill up when I have between 1/4 and half a tank left. The last thing you want to do is head into the mountains with half a tank of gas.

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    I'll admit I haven't read the manual yet but I pretty much did the exact same thing with the pairing and dealer sanitizing. I spent a few hours today detailing. God only knows what the dealer puts on their cars so I wanted to get it off and put my own stuff on. I put protectant on the plastic...

    The perfect license plate frame?

    I like the black on white look but I'm thinking chrome zoom zoom to contrast the titanium flash color on mine. I'll definitely make sure I get two! I wish Oregon didn't make you put one on the front. Looks SO much better without.

    Holy 303

    So I heard enough people talking up 303 products so I went out and hunted them down at a boat shop. Loooove it. I gave it a good wash with meguiars and then put some protectant on all the trim. Finally I used the 303 quick detail spray. Looks amazing. I love that you can use it on pretty much...

    Cleaning the interior?

    Dude - camping world haha. Exactly where I found 303 protectant. Thanks for the help buddy! I then stopped by a marine supply store a few miles away and they had the entire 303 product line so I picked up some wipes and multi-surface cleaner. Anyone use their speed detailing product?

    1. Is it just me or is the turning single extremely sensitive or doesn't always reset after a turn? 2. Regular or premium? I've driven cars where you get pinging noises when you use a lower octane gas. I still know little about the cx-5. What do you recommend? 3. Squeaking noise when closing...

    Cleaning the interior?

    That's really good to know actually. I'm not super worried about the "leather". I take pretty good care of my cars in general and don't throw stuff on the seats. Okay I'm sold on the 303 haha. Thanks everyone for your suggestions

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    Oh I like! Have you put the mats in yet? How do they look/feel? Oregon has wet and muddy winters so I really need to get a set ASAP.

    2016 Seat Heaters

    I noticed that too. After about 15 minutes at full strength the seat was warm but not "burn my ass" warm. I'm curious to see how it feels in the winter when I'll actually want it on.

    Cleaning the interior?

    My last car - a 2007 accord - was kind of a beater with no special features really. Now with my 2016 GT I'm going to put a lot more effort into maintaining the interior. What products do you guys recommend for keeping up the dash, windows, leather, etc.?

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    Craig, That's perfect! Im going to get one and a cargo tray. What do you think about their tray/weather mat deal? Are they decent mats?

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    I noticed it is a little noisy on the freeway and apparently they improved the sound levels on the 2016. I like the Bose system enough for now so I'll probably make the sound system one of my last mods

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    @yrwei52: do you have a link for a retractable cargo cover for the 2016? I seem to be struggling to find the $108 one and I really want to buy it haha

    Cheapest route to a nav system?

    Let me know how that goes for you. The problem with GPS in Oregon is that we have a ton of logging roads and I've had that happen many times where it gives me a route that suggests I take some unpaved, narrow and destroyed logging road

    The perfect license plate frame?

    Okay I think I found my frames or at least the style I want. Not sure if this one will even fit but I thought they were more or less universal: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002S4BCIU/?tag=m20b7-20

    Brand new cx-5 - what's the first thing you do?

    Haha that's actually the first thing I did. The "tattooed" the back with their logo and web address which thankfully came off pretty easily. I used some stuff I had to get rid of the glue. I hate that crap. I should have told the dealer to take it off. Of course I ditched the bright yellow...

    Cheapest route to a nav system?

    I think I'm starting to agree. I had my phone connected and used the gps app I have and it worked perfectly. I like that it gives me the directions over the stereo system. I think I'll spend the money on something else!
