    Average Speed Information?

    hmmmm, didn't check that, I assume it's probably about the same accuracy.

    Average Speed Information?

    I tracked my mileage for the first 20 or so tank fulls, resetting the average mpg when filling up, and the calculated average MPG was usually withing approx 1 MPG, sometimes over, sometimes under, but, usually still within 1MPG either way. So, I figure it's a SWAG within 1 MPG is close enough...

    Would you buy a 'new' car with 100 miles on the odometer

    The best I ever got was, I was waiting for a Honda Civic to come in, in a new color that they didn't offer before. They called me when the truck came in, but, when I got there, it hadn't even been prep'd yet. I think when I took deliver it had 9 miles on it. :-) Guess it doesn't get much...

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth! NB1/TOMTOM Only (2012-2015)

    When it stops speaking texts and emails, it won't display them either. It just downloads the descriptions, so, I see I got a new message, it just won't speak it or display it. My Mazda dealer is having me bring it back in, once again, tomorrow, for more diagnostics. I really think they're...

    Yeah, with mine, simply un-paring then re-pairing wasn't enough. Had to actually power both the car and the phone OFF before re-paring them.

    2016 CX-5 2.5L driving experience compared to Mazda 6?

    Same engine, I'd expect the 6 to perform better, as others have stated, less weight and lower profile.

    Would you buy a 'new' car with 100 miles on the odometer

    I've bought many new cars over the years, different brands, different dealers, the lowest I remember, I think, was 9 miles, but, I think I bought one once that had just over 200 miles on it. If it's one that they've had out for more demos, vs one that was sitting in the back lot the entire...

    2016 cx5 - getting Navigation for cheaper

    I think the Med Center Mazda ad that shows up here in the Forums has them for a little less. There might be other online Mazda parts that has them for even less. When in doubt, Google it.

    Is there a way to...(driving light question)

    You can have parking lights and DRL on at the same time, with no headlights or fog lights. But, I think you can only have fog lights on, if your headlights are on. It would be kind of cool to have parking lights + fog lights + DRL, all on, but, the headlights off, but, I don't think that's a...

    New CX 5 owner, buying experience and thoughts

    I hate when they take your keys to valuate your trade in, because they basically hold you hostage, by not giving you back your keys until the deal is done. I've learned to use that to my advantage, that if they haven't given me back my keys, then I know they're still open to my counter-offer...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Yep, I agree. If TrueCar is telling me what others have paid for the particular model I'm after, then I want to pay LESS than that. That become my high ball. Why would I pay more than others have paid?!?!?!

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    It's amazed me over the years, some dealers just don't seem to want to deal with you. If you don't pay their price, they won't haggle it down any. The only one I know that got away with that is Saturn's no haggle sales practice. I think to get a good price you need time and the willingness to...

    Just re-paired my Android v5.0.1 HTC M8, it only worked for a couple days this time, instead of the couple weeks it sometimes lasts before it stops working again.

    Possible incentives/deals for Memorial Day?

    I made my purchase on the very last day of May, last year. They were foaming at the mouth to make the sale that day, even though they didn't have the color I wanted on the lot, and the next day was a Sunday(they were closed). So, I had to wait until June 2nd to actually pick it up. But, they...
