    Want to get CX-5 to Neutral with no start.

    My driveway is on a hill, 2 cars wide. I have two vehicles parked one behind the other. When I wanted to get the car furthest up out I would just roll the lower car back a few feet and drive the upper car around it. With my new CX-5 and keyless start I have found no way to get out of park...

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    As an owner of a 2015 CX-5 Sport I have to say I think the radio is pretty good. I came from a 2010 Mazda5. Sound not too bad and I have just started using a USB stick for music. Wow, for me that's a huge advance. I will say I think the FM antenna is not properly designed or not located in the...

    Reset MPG average

    Make sure you push in the center of the button, no up or down. I did the same thing at first.

    don't overlook a fully loaded 2016 CX-5 Sport - SPORT vs TOURING comparison

    I own a 2015 Sport with the 2.5. You can get it but I think you have to get an auto trans and maybe AWD only.

    Auto transmission dipstick ?

    Mazda appears to have really buried the dipstick. Since I can't find "how to check" in the manual I guess I won't worry about it. I'll ask about it when I have service done. Have to see what the dealer says.

    Auto transmission dipstick ?

    New owner of a 2015 Sport with about 1700 miles. I was checking the oil and then went for the auto transmission dipstick. Well I can't find it and found no mention of it in my book. I see a reference to a sealed unit after a search. So is it sealed and can I assume it's not part of owner...

    Thinking of buying a CX5 ... Sport

    I own a 2015 Sport. I think the radio is fine for my needs. I have commented elsewhere that I think the FM antenna, where ever it is, could be improved. I thought it was in that shark thing but someone said it was in the rear glass. I would prefer a whip antenna.

    Erratic Start Problem CX-5 2015

    Does the start button light go green when you push the brake? If it does I think this should eliminate the brake switch. As mentioned you could watch for the green light and keep trying the brake to see if you can catch a no green light situation.

    Car just doesn't seem to warm up

    Here in CT with temps below 15 F the blue light is off in about 10 minutes tops with no fan on. I think you have a fixable problem.

    To WeatherTech or Not To WeatherTech?

    Earlier I posted I went with the Maxpider mats in my 2015 CX-5. They are getting a great test here in CT. So far they are fine except for one thing. The melted water collects in the lower left corner of the mat. My driveway is an incline which makes the puddle in the corner higher. I can see it...

    Shark fin antenna should be soup

    I wish my 2015 CX-5 had a real FM antenna. I usually listen to college/public radio. In my area they are not all high powered and their transmitter sites may not be on the big hill with the high tower. I had no problem with my Mazda 5 whip antenna. Now I get some drop out where certain stations...

    2015 Mazda CX-5 instrumentation

    Wow. I always assumed my 2015 instrument panel was back-lit during the day since everything was so easy to read. Are you sure there are no daytime lights?

    Who intends to keep their CX-5 long term?

    I say go for it. I came from a 2010 Mazda 5 and we are really enjoying the CX-5.

    Who intends to keep their CX-5 long term?

    Well I'm 72 now and I'm hoping my 2015 CX-5 will get at least 10 years out of me, not the other way around.

    AWD question

    Sorry folks I dropped the ball on this. So I went to the dealer. They checked and test drove. I was told all was fine and could I try to get the 5 to them during AWD conditions. I said I would. We finally got some snow and I took the 5 for a test drive. No matter how hard I tried, no clunk. The...

    Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?

    Depends how you think. Not once piece of info from me until I see it and kick the tires.

    Thank you all. Looks like dealer time.

    AWD question

    New to the CX-5 and AWD. New 5 with about 1000 mi. For the first time I was in AWD conditions and gave the CX a little kick to see how it would go. I heard a small clunk sound. So was that the AWD engaging? Is it seamless or does it go in and out ? Should I hear anything?

    Headrest movement

    My 2010 Mazda 5 did this, but only on the driver's side. So far my 2015 CX-5 has been OK, but it's new. I never was able to figure it out. The stops worked fine, but still things moved. Weird.

    Brand new to Mazda. Can someone answer some basic questions?

    At that price I would say, just for kicks, price a 2015 Sport AWD with the 2.5 engine. You might be surprised.
