If you appreciate a quiet and luxurious ride, consider switching to 5W-30. It's a huge upgrade, at just the cost (for me) of going from 24 mpg to 23 mpg (well worth it). Quieter during all normal driving, and noticeably so. Something I can recommend for all model years. Switched to it in 2022...

A change vote button, but no "no answer" and/or "just want to see results" choice.

So if you had a "no answer" choice in addition to "no problems" when you started the poll in 2016 it would have been more accurate. : p

This is a biased poll because it doesn't have a choice to view results without affirming no problems, or in other words giving no answer, so some people will not choose the "no problems" because they are a little superstitious and don't want to jinx it. I am one of those people, but I voted just...

I wouldn't even bother with 5W-20. I switched from 0W-20 to 5W-30 several oil changes ago in 2022 and much, much prefer it. I don't care about the startup noise (though there is a pronounced difference), I do care about the noise while actually driving. There is about a 1 mpg difference, from 24...

Same part, both are NGK ILKAR7L11 plugs (part number is on the spark plug) marked up at twice the price of the NGK branded plugs and packaged in a paperboard box with the Mazda logo and part number.

Clearly they are pizza fans.

I agree with others who say this was not the original plan. I think a near identical vehicle with only 3rd row seats removed is completely pointless as there are absolutely minimal cost savings to be had in just removing the 3rd row seats - unlike the CX-60 which would actually be a different...

Here's better quality versions, tried uploading original JPGs (too compressed to read) and in PNG (better, but still doesn't preserve the image quality). Now I know, have to use Imgur instead of the forum image upload to preserve image quality. Here: https://imgur.com/a/WTMmRV0

Mazda CX-5 and top competitors. I'm in year 5 of ownership and I am still very happy with the vehicle for the price paid. The Subaru Outback was the only other choice I was looking at because of the value and expected quality (did not drive the Subaru, but did drive a Honda CR-V...

If you think that's bad, don't buy a Honda CR-V. https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/hood-alignment-on-a-2022-crv-hybrid.227803/

CR-V Touring is $40,000. Too expensive for a mass market CUV. Think the CX-5 looks and handles better too, and it is faster, but the Honda gets better MPG.

Also considered the RAV4 and CR-V in 2019, and maybe the Outback. Yes, I'm happy with the vehicle after 4 years. Comfortable ride, great handling, quiet, great paint and fit and finish. In my opinion, only Subaru offers comparable value for money, and you have a CVT with fake shifts, and it's...

In my opinion the Soul Red paint looks like it could cost a lot more than it does. One manufacturer whose paint I'm not impressed with is Hyundai. It's not defective but it sure doesn't impress. Just doesn't have the same saturation or reflectivity.
