    How easy is DIY for the spark plugs?

    I install them without using a torque wrench. Just make sure to tighten the spark plugs really good. If you don't have tools for it, go to O'Reilly and you shouldn't have to spend more than 50$ for tools: you need the special spark plug socket, a ratcheting wrench and extension bar for the...

    Issue with Infotainment Screen Replacement

    One a previous post I advised you to buy the whole display, not just the touch screen, precisely to avoid these kind of issues. It's a bit more expensive than just the touch screen but you are better off.

    2013~2016 Weird fluctuation from CX-5 Trip Computer

    Not really, it's ups and downs, from 7000 feet to 6000, back to 7000, drop to 5500 and so on. Speaking of altitude, I was baffled by the way Mazda infotainment shows your elevation on the screen, I am talking about the 8 inches screen. You go to the "Where am I" or something like that. When I...

    2013~2016 Weird fluctuation from CX-5 Trip Computer

    Thanks for the info. I knew it was due to the elevation and air density but I figured that the computer will put more gasoline, not maintaining the ratio. Good to know!

    2013~2016 Weird fluctuation from CX-5 Trip Computer

    I took a long trip with my little CX-5 these days. Drove from Houston area all the way to Denver. On a 1.000 mile trip, fuel economy average was at 27.2 mpg but yesterday I was blown away: filled up the tank in Colorado Springs. From Springs to Denver, my car registered 35.8 mpg! I was blown...

    Mazda Infotainment Settlement

    I advise to look up on e-bay, by the part number and from a seller with good rating. Look up for one from a seller who posts the VIN number and the mileage of the original car. At 80 dollars you've probably seen just the screen, not the whole display. It's actually a lot easier to replace the...

    Camping with CX-5 Powerlift Gate

    The hassle would be, probably, less than five minutes and a number 10 socket.

    Your touch screen developed what it is called "ghost touch". I've had similar issues with my car. I bought a used display from ebay, and installed it. No more troubles.

    Well, man, I am sorry to see your struggle. Maybe it is a bad ECU, after all. Good luck at the dealership.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    I'll join you in the minority. In a year or so I'll be in the market for an upgrade and I had some high expectations from this car. But now I found myself looking at Audi and other German cars.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Mazda should have postponed the launch for a time when the hybrid engine is ready for production. In the mean time, keep selling the turbo.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Not even 24 hours since the premiere and already a huge backlash, and since this is not a full production car, I wouldn't be surprised is Mazda will make some changes to calm everybody down.

    I still hope for a turbo. For now they said that only N/A, not a definitive no to turbo. Fingers crossed.
