Years ago, shortly after I got my 2014 GT, I had trouble looking away from the road to see the clock too. My issue is that the numbers are red, the clock is down low and I am colorblind. So it was very hard to see it at a quick glance. At that time one of the members on this CX-5 board made...

Hard to believe all the cautionary tales on this post. Just load 'er up, hitch 'er up, put 'er in drive and go. The towing capacity of the US CX-5 is way underrated IMO. You're overthinking this - you'll be fine. Don't drive like a madman, give yourself extra room to stop and pay attention to...

The Touring sounds OK to me if you're comfortable with that many miles on it. Assuming you drive the "normal" 12k per year, you still wouldn't be up to the mileage on the GT a year from now!

Just an FYI, I am colorblind and can't tell the difference between your yellow and green arrows! They look the same to me. To help out people like me (red/green colorblind) you could use yellow and blue as we can easily see that. :geek: P.S. - I have the same trouble with those online colored...

You guys all missed something important: GT = 19" wheels, Touring = 17" wheels. On my 2014 GT when I switch to my 17" wheels for winter, it is noticeably quicker!

How much new fluid is needed each time for a drain and fill?

I have a 2014 in white. I took delivery in August 2013. I had 3M film installed with less than 100 miles on the vehicle. I have maintained the film the same as if it was paint. It does not look yellow at all, but yes you can see the line on the hood where it ends. It does not bother me. I also...

I thought there was problem with early CX-5s and the switch near the shifter that says its in Park. I remember folks replacing them a while back. As mazadude says above, try all kinds of pushing and pulling on the shifter while you try to start it.

I would like it if they moved the side traffic alert lights from the mirror glass into the interior - where the mirror attaches and the black plastic is now. It's like that on Nissans and it's MUCH more noticeable and useful than being on the mirror glass. One would think that the mirror glass...

That makes more sense.

Read all about here: Spare Tire Mod

One good thing to note from that Escape review, the 19" tires are the same size as the CX-5's, so based on how many Escapes we know will most likely be sold, there's bound to be more tire choices (and perhaps lower prices) in our future!

As stated above, there was absolutely no TPMS system on any GEN 1 CX-5 that used a wheel mounted sensor. The sensors were stationary on the vehicle and worked by sensing a wheel speed that was different from the others. This would happen when a tire got low. Yes, we have a reset button on the...

After I lost one fob, I bought 2 spares online to be sure I had 2 left in case I lost one again! I paid $120 for a locksmith to program them and cut the spare key inserts. One caution. The model # on first set of fobs I got differed by I digit at the very end from the original. I thought they...

I use the Idemitsu Zepro mentioned above and get it from Amazon. It's the same as the Mazda Moly since they are the ones that make the Mazda Moly. Right now $36 on Amazon w/free shipping. I have an alert set (via Wikibuy) to let me know if the price on Amazon drops. A couple of years ago I...

Dash cams, people, dash cams.

It's a space thing! It's known as "inverse gravitational pull equilibrium". Since the meteor entered the atmosphere uninvited and with a downward force, some"thing" had to go back upward to replace it in order to keep things in equilibrium! That "thing" would be the glass going upward. However...

If you don't minds spending a little coin and some time cutting out the shape you need, I guarantee you that you won't find anything stronger than this 3M product. It's super thin and the bond is incredibly strong. In MN we have temps that range from -30F to 100+F. We also have outside mailboxes...
