    Price for 15K mile service?

    I paid $50 or so for my 15K service at my local Mazda service center. I mean 'by the book' 15K, with all the inspections of hoses and fluids. Definitely not feeling ripped off. The key is print out the service schedule, bring it with you to the Mazda center and say you want exactly what is on...

    CX-5 just keeps getting faster with age...

    It definitely has a lot of power. When I floor it, the vehicle almost jumps into the air. Quite scary actually.

    Hood paint has roughness to it

    My hood is very rough, probably due to contaminants. It appears to be an issue with Mazda paint, because I've felt the hood of Toyota and it doesn't have this issue. What's the solution, clay bar? Also I should mention that the vertically oriented parts like the doors & hatch are smooth.

    4 Best Things About the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature

    I have the 2019 Signature. Aside from ongoing issue with the wipers, the rest of the car is perfect. I love the body contour, the front, the Soul Crystal Red paint job, the infotainment setup(nobody else does it as good as Mazda) and everything else inside like the memory seats, heated seats...

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Lately I've been having connectivity problems with CarPlay. One thing happens where I plug in the phone and CarPlay doesn't activate. Another is Spotify resumes but no audio. Various glitches lately. Is there a Mazda infotainment update?

    Automatic wipers - yea or nay

    What I find on my 2019 CX-5 is the rain-sensing setting is where I get most of the problems(juddering on driver's side). Sometimes I get juddering on intermittent as well if there is insufficient moisture on the windshield. I had a Honda CR-V for 10+ years and never had juddering even on a dry...

    2019 CX-5 stuttering wipers

    Ok, I have an update. Around December 2020, I had the service center replace the entire wiper arm and that seemed to solve the stuttering problem on the driver's side. However, it's starting to happen again, despite only 2+ month old wiper blade and just washed the car and cleaned the windshield...

    Question about Turbo fuel

    If 92 gets me to 246hp, why do I care about getting that final 4?

    Question about Turbo fuel

    My Costco only has 92 octane, does that mean 250hp is unavailable to me?

    CX-5 just keeps getting faster with age...

    Question, do I not get the 250hp is I don't use 93 octane gasoline? Meaning if I'm using 92 octane, I stay on 227hp?

    Wipers juddering

    Thank you! I thought I was alone with the juddering issue on intermittent mode. Pretty ridiculous to have this issue on a $45K car. For now I've found a cleaner that provides temporary relief, but I'm going to open a warranty repair on the motor soon.

    2019 CX-5 stuttering wipers

    Now I found this: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mazda3-recall-windshield-wiper-failures/ Damn and I put $40K into this vehicle which might be a lemon.

    2019 CX-5 stuttering wipers

    I've had my wiper blades replaced 3 times, with the latest being top of the line Bosch and I still get stuttering on the 'normal' speed which is either rain-sensing or 'on'. At this point I believe it's a faulty wiper motor. Please don't cite cleaning of the windshield as that never worked...

    Question for 2019 CX-5 owners about wipers

    After installing top of the line Bosch wipers, I'm still getting judder at slower speed. At full speed no judder. I'm beginning to think it's a motor/algorithm issue and nothing to do with the rubber or glass.
