    2019 Floor Mats?

    I don*t know if I*d say the Maxpiders are cheaper than oem but I will say imho they*re better and well worth the extra $. Just one person*s opinion who*s had 3 sets of Maxpiders with a daughter who has the oems and bought Maxpiders too. Take a close look at the two before deciding.

    Rearview camera

    Same here. I have to hit the red button in corner of monitor to get trajectory lines and tbh I like it that way. Arguably, the Mazda monitors lack in size and clarity and, for me, the trajectory lines clutter the view. I like that the lines are off and can be turned on easily for (infrequent...

    2018 CX-5 GT Rear Bumper Protection Strip Recommendations

    I have precut pieces of LaminX for top of bumper and door sills in garage, waiting for a little warmer weather to put on.

    New Motor Trend Review Signature CX-5

    Yes, really. For me anyway. It*s ok until it gets cluttered up by two windows (360 and rear view for example). Or the additional lines and stuff. It*s acceptable but compared to monitors in other vehicles it*s at the bottom of the list. Never thought I*d like it but amazing how intuitive...

    Last night my wife told me...

    Before we bought our Accord (that we just traded for our 5) I test drove a new version 3 GT hatch. I had a manual 2010 as a dd years ago and it was so much fun, even if it made plastic creaking sounds inside just sitting still ;) Anyway, I fell instantly in love with the new 3 GT. Got back to...

    Cx5 external color

    They are all nice. I*m partial to lighter colors and especially white so it was the definite choice. It*s beautiful up against the black trim, the tinted windows and especially the darker, bigger wheels. Dealer had to locate one for us as the one Sig they had was dk blue. That said, the dark...

    Fumoto Valve Question

    Still gotta crawl under and deal with the filter. In the end how much time and trouble are you really saving over the oem plug? And now you gotta notch it too? Meh.

    Can't find these floor mats

    Way more than enough. Just got the set for my CX5 and put them in yesterday. My 3rd set so far, one also in our Accord and another in our F150. Love these things, obviously. I really like Weathertech too but these are nicer and a better value imho. Not plasticky, a softer quieter kinda foam...

    Mazda Mobile Start vs Remote Start

    Just to be clear part 2, the basic Viper system (that uses the oem fob) has a somewhat limited range. It also is not 2-way so you don*t get any sort of confirmation on the fob that the car started. You might want to consider these limitations when you decide to buy if your car is normally...

    HVAC with Remote Start

    Im thinking about basic aftermarket remote start for our Signature with the (auto) climate control system. If I leave the hvac temp up high/low with heat/AC and fan blasting when I shut the car off, will it all come back on as-was when the car is restarted with remote? Same question for rear...

    Mazda Mobile Start vs Remote Start

    Just to be clear, you can get aftermarket remote start that will use your oem fob. My daughter had it done on her 17 GT at local shop for under 300 (I think). Dealer wanted a lot more (800?) but her salesperson told her they just sent the car out to the very same shop, it wasn*t done in house...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Have one in my garage waiting for better weather to put on. Also have door sills. How did the job go? Ever done it before? I want to do similar but just be able to lay my phone in the front console tray. Where do you have mini end of the cable coming in? Cut a hole? I was thinking of...

    New Motor Trend Review Signature CX-5

    Agreed, kinda. I do think it*s odd that we don*t have the option to change the default to lines or no lines. However, for me, I like lines off as the default and that is because the picture is kind of small and not not very good quality. The lines crowd it further and I can turn them on when...

    Mazda Mobile Start vs Remote Start

    Quick question about remote start, regardless of brand... Let*s say when I shut car off I had rear defogger on and heat high full blast defrost (climate conteol hvac). When I remote start will they come back on as they we*re left? Assuming hvac stays as-is but not sure about rear defogger...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    My daughter has a 17 GT and for me the only slight negative to it is the base motor. The turbo fixes that, in spades. We couldn*t be happier with our Sig, still have a big grin when I drive it.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Took a Sig home late afternoon and brought it back to the dealer following morning. Years ago a dealer offered to let me do this and I have insisted on it ever since. It really helps to drive, look, think and make an informed decision. My wife also will not step foot in a car dealership. If...

    Prices paid for 2019 CX5

    I posted the deal on my 19 Signature above and I got 2100 discount and 500 *customer cash* (don*t know why, I didn*t qualify for anything). It does appear I was pretty fortunate to get this however I do think that if I was looking for a spot to begin negotiations it*d be at least 5% under msrp...
