    Volkswagen Ordered To Recall 500K Vehicles Over Its Own Malicious Programming

    My understanding is, VW can't sell the 2015's and the 2016's. Owners can sell them, for now. But, yeah, if I owned one of these, I'd be royally pissed!! There will likely be a class action suit to divvy up the 18 Billion dollar fine to effected owners.

    Rear brakes replacement and cost

    If you can do your own brakes, or have friends that will help you with them for the price of a 6-pack of cold ones, when you go to Auto-Zone, Advanced, NAPA or Oreilly's(spelling??). You tell them what vehicle you have, and they will typically have "Good", "Better" and "Best", with prices...

    Anyone have a CX-7 with 200k miles?

    That is something I've been wondering with all these late model cars going turbo, for gas mileage from smaller motors, not as much for big power. My question is: is these turbos everyone is using now a maintenance item?? How much extra servicing is required over the years?? what if it fails...

    Moto X Pure, so far, so good, except no email, dunno why??

    With my 2015 CX-5 Touring FWD 2.5L, my HTC One-M8 would work for awhile, then stop working until I would totally delete the pairing, then repair the Infotainment and the phone, and it'd work again for a couple weeks. Recently I upgraded to the new Moto X Pure, running Lolipop v5.1.1...

    How to get Infotainment to use gmail AND AOL or gmail instead of AOL??

    Yeah, I'm planning on getting the Moto X Pure when it comes out next week. Hoping it will do better than the HTC One M8 I have that isn't fully supported. I may not configure the AOL email, at least not right away. I'm not sure if there's a way to mark an email Primary over the others??

    Cars' keyless ignitions called 'deadly' in lawsuit

    I think most remote-starts have a 10 minute limit for the car to run, then turns the car off. It might be adjustable higher, but, I think most remote starts default to 10 minutes.

    How to get Infotainment to use gmail AND AOL or gmail instead of AOL??

    Currently the HTC One M8, probably going to go with the new Moto X Pure next week. It works temporarily, but, then stops working after 2 days to 2 weeks, until I completely unpair then repair, kind of a pain. Hoping the MotoX will be more consistent. But, still, when it does work, it pulls my...

    How to get Infotainment to use gmail AND AOL or gmail instead of AOL??

    It appears that the infotainment is downloading my AOL/AIM emails, but, not my gmail. Seeing that gmail is closer tied to Android than a regular email reader such as AOL/AIM, is there a way I can get the infotainment center to do gmail instead??

    Premium gas

    I took it off and put it back on several times, it didn't go out until I diluted it with regular gas. Coincidence, maybe....

    Undecided: CX-5 vs Escape/Edge

    That is what drove me from the Ford dealer to the Mazda dealer, it was a short drive, they are only a couple hundred yards apart. :-)

    Premium gas

    My Honda Civic will actually get a gas-cap idiot light when I once accidentally used premium. I don't think it damaged anything. It eventually went out after the next tank of regular. Long way of saying, No, I don't think it will improve anything.

    New CX-5 Owner!

    A good bath as often as you can do, and a good coat of decent wax at least once a year.

    Tire Pressure From Dealer

    I usually run 38 in the rear tires and 40 in the front anyways. Get a little less roll on corners and overall better tire wear. Probably helps a little with the mileage as well.

    Feeling a bit bad about the dealership survey...

    I never got my dealer survey, the dealer somehow was successful at keeping me from getting it.

    I never got my survey, I have a feeling my salesman somehow made sure I didn't get one.

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    I live in NE Ohio, where it can get nasty, but, really, like you said, only 3 months, the other 9 months are usually without snow. So, I saved the additional $1,250/additional 156lbs/2mpg penalty for AWD, and went with the FWD. I'd be surprised if the AWD would kick in more than 1% of the...

    Rear brakes at 20K seems early?!

    Lookup pads and rotors online at autozone, advanced auto, NAPA and O'Reilly's, to get an idea of what the parts cost, anything above that is labor and markup. The dealer's cost is going to be less than those prices you see online, but, it gives you an idea.

    Noob here...leaning CX-5 in a couple months when my current lease ends

    Agreed, I've had mine just over a year. I'm one of those, as soon as I buy a new car, I start doing analysis for my next one. So far, one year later, if I had to go buy again, it would be exactly the same CX-5 Trim I bought a year ago. Love my 2015, I think the 2016 is even better. Other...
