    CX-5 Class III Hitch available

    I'm only going to use my hitch for a bike rack as well went with the 1.25" Curt hitch and a Saris Bike Porter 4 hitch rack. The rack comes with an adapter sleeve to use with either 1 1/4" or 2" hitches. I'm impressed with Saris' products and they're made in the US, too...

    CX-5 Class III Hitch available

    I installed the Curt hitch yesterday and it took maybe 30 minutes. It was the first time I've ever worked with the exhaust or used a fishwire, and everything went really well with the Curt instructions. Soapy water in a spray bottle plus a pair of exhaust hanger pliers...

    Does USB work with any I pod, Nano and Shuffle?

    You'll be good with any newer Apple product. It works great with my old original iPhone, which I use basically as an iPod touch. There does seems to be an issue with some older Apple products that I've seen: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123819145-Ipod-question

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Based on your mention of their other lots and the deceptive internet price, I'm pretty sure I dealt with the same dealership in my search. Their internet pricing removes destination from the price and adds in all possible discounts as a way to get you in the door. I had a salesman admit as...

    Ipod question

    I checked and it's on 3.1.1, which after a little bit of Googling seems to be the latest. When I plug it in, the car recognizes it as an iPod with the tab lit up on the screen but it won't let me operate it. Oh well...good thing I have my old iPhone to use as an iPod touch!

    Ipod question

    I have a fourth gen 20gb iPod from 2004 and it doesn't work with the car, so there is definitely some sort of software limitation with older iPods.

    Still Waiting...

    My dealership told me they claimed an incoming one for me and have a VIN and it's just a matter of time till it comes through port, customs, etc. Any idea of what's the longest that should take? Someone in an earlier post said they got theirs that way in about 3 weeks. We're getting so antsy...

    CX-5 vs. CR-V and Escape

    Since everyone's discussing 0-60 on the CX-5 vs. some of its competition, I figured I'd mention this nice little blog post on fun cars I just read, on "The Unimportance of Speed." A snippet of the post specifically mentions the CX-5: "'Driving a fun car fast is more fun than driving a fast car...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I stopped in a dealer today and they claimed Mazda will be bumping up the MSRP by $800 in about 2 months, and they did that with the 3 by $400 last year. They said the price is lower for a few months to keep them moving and then they bump it up. Anyone know if this type of thing is true, or were...
