    Dealer finance manager wanted about $1000 for protection for windshield recal. He stated only dealer can do it. Sounded like BS to me.

    I dumped my CX-5 finally

    I am retired from insurance claims. Many factors affect premium. In some states credit scores are considered. Lawyers are driving up claims with excessive treatment with their clinic buddies. Blame them too. 800 FICO, clean record, 2018 Touring AWD, 250/500/100, UM 250/500, medpay 10000, 500...

    Tyre pressure

    I bumped my Toyo 19's from 35 to 38 psi and the steering is a little better as well as a softer ride over road seams. Overall very pleased.

    AWD activation

    Lots of snow this year. So far with OEM 19" Toyo's no problems in straight line driving at sane acceleration and speeds. Pushing it a bit around corners to test limits will kick out the rear, but lifting off the gas brings it back.

    Driving long distances...Is the CX-5 comfortable?

    Some car seats give me back aches. My CX 5 is pure comfort. I am 5' 7" and 150# and the seats feel great.

    2017 CX-5 GT wipers suck

    Nice report Distant. You are a brave man to go over Donner Summit in a snow storm. Suprised they let you thru w/o snow tires. 1-2 feet coming here thru Tuesday. My lone experience in 3" of snow this season was very positive. A new challenge awaits.

    Coolant

    120000 miles seems on the high side. In past cars I have changed extended duration coolant every 5 years w/o problems.

    Cabin Pressure Headache

    So, question for other 17/18 owners. Is this a byproduct of Mazda trying to seal out the noise? Do you have to give quite a bit more force to close the last door with the widows rolled up? Yes

    Oscillation with rear window open

    I had been driving a 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS with factory body kit for the past 15 years I only opened the rear window today because a stinky old pick up in front of me had belched noxious fumes into my cabin. It was below 20 degrees this morning and I did not want to open the front window and...

    Cylinder Deactvation

    It is frustrating. Knowing what I now now I do get on the gas a little earlier and firmer when I need to move. This is my first drive by wire throttle and there seems to be a 2 stage response based upon throttle position. Light throttle pressure and economy is emphasized. To get fuller throttle...

    Cylinder Deactvation

    I do not feel CD activating. However when driving around with light throttle at 25mph with the automatic in 4th gear, there is a hesitation when I want to accelerate with light pedal input. The tranny needs to downshift a gear or 2 and the CD needs to disengage before the revs come up. This is...
