    Which CX-5 should I buy?

    Not dumb at all. If they insist there is no flexibility in whatever fees are added beyond "sale price", then request they adjust said sale price. We did this when I helped my son car shop. The dealer that had the car my son wanted in stock had excessive dealer fees. The tax, title, & license are...

    Anybody here have a CX-5 and a CX-30?

    I swapped the rear headrests in my CX-5 for the 1st generation JDM lower profile ones over a year ago. IMO it helps with the rear visibility. Not having to remove them to fold down the seat backs is a bonus. That would definitely help in the CX-30 if the JDM ones are similar to the CX-5.

    2021 CX-5 GTR No Heated Side Mirrors!?

    My GTR side mirrors heat fine with the rear defogger button. They are definitely not as quick as my previous 2 VW's but they do work. They deiced fine through 2 NE winters.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    That was my experience, the "hard no" trying to get the Costco dealer to budge off the Costco price. I did substantially better & submitted my final offer which I bought my vehicle for from another dealer. I actually never even heard back from the Costco dealer when I made my lower offer.

    Mazda CX-5 Appreciation Moment

    My first 2019 CX-5 GTR was rear ended & totaled. I re-drove the competitors while waiting for the insurance money. I replaced my GTR with its clone.

    There are a number of threads on here discussing floormats if you do a search. I have the Canadian OEM floor liners & love them. https://mazdashop.ca/collections/2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-mazda-cx-5-accessories/products/premium-floor-liners-1st-row-mazda-cx-5-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021 They ship...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I also have the same pedal covers but without the Mazdaspeed logo. I have the Canadian OEM floor liners which are also made by 3D & had thought about doing the same thing with the dead pedal that you did. Not over the top at all.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed the hydraulic hood struts I got from Amazon. Cheap & easy upgrade that as others have pointed out, Mazda should have included. Took about 15 minutes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KC3CJ82/?tag=m20b7-20

    "Miles until Empty" not accurate after...

    ....... I used to top the tank on my older vehicles. The last several new vehicles we purchased all specified not to top the tank. It can damage the charcoal emission filter. "Topping off your gas tank can cause pressure to build in the tank and flood the carbon filter vapor collection system...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Since you have a GTR, I assume this does not interfere with the power liftgate as some other rear sill plates do?

    Floorliners for 2021 CX-5 GT

    I have only seen them from Scarboro Mazda which is where I got mine. Scarboro also has them listed on Amazon but the price looks to be similar as direct from their website. I had no problems getting mine & the shipping was quick. It comes down to esthetics. I just liked the way the OEM Canadian...

    Best All-Season Michelin 225/55R19 Tires?

    We got around 19k miles from the OEM run-flats on my wife's previous 2006 Sienna AWD. Horrible ride & noise worsened as they wore down. Replaced them with regular Michelins & bought a spare wheel & tire to keep inside. It drove like an entirely different vehicle after that. At the time I bought...

    New 2021 CX-5 owner question...Navigation SD card included?

    For the first model year of the GTR Mazda included the Nav SD card, then in 2020 they didn't & made it an option. Kind of a crappy way to cheap out on Mazda's part if you're paying extra for the Turbo. You need the SD card for the traffic sign recognition to work also.

    Repositioning Front License Plate

    Fortunately PA also does not use front plates but that doesn't stop dealers from immediately drilling into bumpers & putting their dealer advertising plates on. Most of our adjacent states do use front plates so that's always something I ask if a car needs to be located & dealer traded...
