    2017~2025 2018 Cx-5 Window Visors and Wind Noise

    I got the OEM low profile ones and didn't notice much noise. I've had them for over a year already tho so probably used to it lol There is some whistling sound at 70+ mph but usually nothing noticeable at lower speeds.

    17 / 18 owners, answer my question

    I've not noticed any smell either, with or without ac on. I do wish the car can stay powered on until we open door but sadly not on this car.

    Coming and Leaving Home Light

    I think coming home light is if your car is off and you flick the high beams the low beams (no taillight or side markers) will turn on for the set amount of time. Leaving home is, as mentioned above, if you unlock your doors the exterior lights will turn on. I wish there's a setting where it'll...

    Door lock squeak - Normal?

    Mine come and goes, same happened with my 2014 mazda 3 hatchback as well. My 2009 pontiac vibe had same issue but since that car didn't have any lock/unlock beep I use the lock buzz sound as an indicator lol

    2017 CX-5 Blue tint hydrophilic exterior mirrors

    My front is tinted 20% and I have no problem with visibility from the tinted mirrors. It might take a bit getting used to when you first get them but after a while you should be fine. Only thing I noticed with these mirrors is that when it's lightly raining the mirror fogs up and I'll have to...

    Yeah you know what I'm going to give it a shot :D Do you have a photo a bit farther away to get a better idea of how the chrome looks on the car?

    2017~2025 Chrome Haters, Beware :)

    I'm not a fan of chrome but I do love black chrome look. I got the bottom piece for the mirror and spray painted it with some smoked polycarbonate paint followed by lots of clear coat. I've thought about getting the mirror cap and doing the same thing but it's such a big area it might be hard to...

    How do you find your CX-5 highway acceleration to be?

    When I first got the car it did felt sluggish when getting onto the freeway. My previous car was a 2014 Mazda 3 sGT hatch and I can definitely feel the extra weight when getting onto the freeway. However after I got more miles on the car it seems to be doing just fine. I also have a JBR drop in...

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    These are 20X9 and I don't know the exact offset, these were cut for the car but I believe I saw it was +45 but not 100% sure. I don't have the box anymore. Here's some shots from behind, it sits pretty flush and I'm very happy with the fitment.

    2017~2025 AC enabled silently (not indicated on display) when temp control at coldest setting?

    I've only noticed this during the winter when it's colder. I normally have my ac set to 68 degrees and when it's cold in the 40s or 50s the ac will blow warm air without me having to turn on anything. I've not noticed this much during summer months tho.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    I've never really noticed much when I'm driving but yesterday I saw two cx5 with bad DRL. One was at a red light across from me and I can see only one was on. Second one I saw was driving behind me for a few miles. The driver side was dim but after a while it's fully on again. And after a few...

    Disable power lift gate BEEP BEEP?

    There's no option to mute the sound. It's most likely for safety to warn whoever is back there in case you're opening the lift gate and someone is walking by, don't want to hit someone =) Although I feel like the lock/unlock is louder than the lift gate warning sound.

    Upcoming CarPlay with HUD?

    HUD and polarized sunglasses do cause it to get washed out. I have oakley prescription polarized sunglasses and the HUD gets washed out unless I till my head at an angle lol However, ever since I tinted the full windshield (70% tint) it made the HUD much more readable with my sunglasses on...

    How often do you rotate your tires?

    I get email notices from discount tires every 5-6000 miles. I've noticed during oil change they rotated my wheels too, and prior to oil change I went to american tires to get them rotated so I think they're back to where they were lol
