    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I have tracked all of my gas purchases for 50 years. For my 2020 Sig, these are the calculated MsPG for each year of ownership, since purchased new in June 2020: 2020: 25.04 (partial yr., covid, drove little) 2021: 25.37 2022: 25.7 2023 (YTD): 26.13. I retired in late 2021, started...

    Anyone's CX-5 just can't stay out of the body shop?

    Yow, I feel for those with these tales of woe. My insurance just went up 30%, and I've had no citations or claims! My 2020 Sig w/30k miles was hit lightly with hail recently, 4-5 very small dents, not enough for me to fix it or file a claim. Now that 3 yrs have passed (and warranty expired)...

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    How odd...my OEM Toyos, removed today, had 5/32 on them, after just under 32k miles. Anyhoo, you got a lot better deal on your Pirellis than did I!

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    I had 4 Scorpions mounted today at Sam's Club. My OEM Toyos were cupping, so I went to my dealer immediately afterward for a 4-wheel alignment. I can't say I noticed a big difference between the old and new in my short amount of driving today, except that on the freeway the Pirellis were much...

    Costco Interstate Batteries - Standard or AGM?

    Had a new battery (Duracell, I believe) put in my 2020 while at Sam's today. $140, but they installed it for free. Costco by me (MN) is now $120 for their group 35 Interstate. I didn't lose any settings for anything. Sam's offered me the AGM, so I presume they were in stock. As I wasn't...

    Airbag light, nice Mazda dealer experience

    Had my car in for a dealer oil change (got some free ones as part of new-car purchase) in late May, and ON THE DRIVE HOME my airbag light started flashing, twice followed by once, repeating after 5 seconds. I texted my service advisor, and he of course said to bring it in if it kept going...

    Air Filter for CX-5 2.5T motor?

    This was back in 10/22, but I purchased a two-pack of STP SA12167 from Autozone online. I was also confused by/didn't trust what I was finding on Amazon at the time. $34.98 before sales tax. Somehow I got free shipping, and a $5 discount off the retail 39.98. Fit my 2020 Signature fine, and...

    Down to 3 tire options. Opinions Appreciated!

    Where did you get them? I am probably going to buy these in the fall, perhaps thru Sam's Club.

    Mazda corporate is terrible, why do people always recommend to contact them?

    try taking the roof rails off, just to eliminate the dealer's theory?

    CX-5 2nd Gen Easter Eggs

    Is there a way (non-normal, I guess!) to avoid the parking brake getting activated when shutting down the car in Autohold mode? The manual wasn't clear on that. My car doesn't seem to put the brake on every time, so there must be some sequence I can use. I don't like trying to take off on...

    Gas Tank Heat Shield Drilled Through

    I would do... nothing at all. (Correction: I would mix myself an Old Fashioned and never give that hole in a heat shield another thought!)

    Aftermarket CX-5 Floor mats and seat cover options?

    +1 to the Honorable Zig. I had weathertechs in my 2014, and switched to maxpiders for my 2020 (for the front; I kept my weathertechs for use in the rear floor). maxpiders are IMO much better. (I also kept my OEM cargo mat for the 2020, but it doesn't fit perfectly)

    2019 CX-5 Folding side mirror when locking; LS stopped fully folding. Tips?

    My driver's side mirror started giving me trouble 2-3 weeks ago. Not tied to cold weather (am in S. FL) or any recent wash. It would always close fine, but when opened, about 1/3 the time it would stop after unfolding about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way. Sometimes it would finish after I touched the...

    Toyo A36 tire blew up; Toyo website does not list A36; what to buy?

    The new A36 has 12/32, so I am presuming my OEM ones did, as well.

    Toyo A36 tire blew up; Toyo website does not list A36; what to buy?

    my mistake, I meant 9/32", not 9mm.

    Toyo A36 tire blew up; Toyo website does not list A36; what to buy?

    I just took a screw in my right rear A36, in the sidewall, unpluggable. The tires have 9mm tread on them even though they have 22,000 miles. A tire store wanted me to replace just the two in the rear. Of course, many resources state replace all 4 if you have AWD, as I do. Went to Mazda dealer...

    August 2022 Map Update Available

    Tried many times to update the OEM map card on my 2020 (first time since purchase) yesterday. Every time I inserted the SD card in my desktop, I'd get the warning in Toolbox to download the (same) update. (This after the toolbox telling me the card was "locked" a couple of times first, when it...

    Buyout my CX5?

    Heck ya, buy it out...then sell it or trade it in if you really want to change vehicles. Check out Carvana for a quote...my guess is they'd give you 22-24k for it. (I love Soul Red!)

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    My son had to replace the tranny in his old Toyota Tundra (280k miles) at the end 2021. $4k later, the new (Aamco, Naples, FL) tranny broke down twice after picking it up, the first time a day later, the second time (after another month in the shop again) on the way home with me driving it...
