I remember using a tad of ATF fluid on my TT RX-7 after it sat for a little bit. The neighbors thought my car was on fire once it cranked up :) Ahhh those were the days! The Seafoam cloud won't be as much but definitely noticeable.

I disabled all 3 reminders completely and drove for 1 day like that with no pop-ups. I have re-enabled the flexible oil interval and no pop-ups yet. I will re-enable the tire rotation one later today and hopefully it's fine. Resetting the intervals did not clear the reminder. It only showed up...

The display says "Service Overdue 0 miles". Still displays it after resetting on the system. Do you press the cluster stalk when the car is off then hit the start button or have the car in ACC first?

I have tried resetting the service intervals but every time I start the car it shows a service reminder with 0 miles left. I have the periodic set to off, oil to flexible and tire was reset. Any ideas?

They definitely don't turn on with wipers. I disabled my DRL and when it rains the lights don't come on automatically. Wish they did tho.

My 93 RX7 analog dial was the same way. I would argue that it was more critical to know temperature on a 13B-REW than on the CX-5. I had to go aftermarket because by the time the needle got to H a light would come on but that is too late. But the AC on my 17 feels fine in 90+ degree Atlanta...

2006 Mazda 3 hatch with 104,000 miles

Well that's what I use and it generally works. I don't have hard fast rules for minor things in life like classing a car. I could very well change my mind on how to categorize something and I'm cool with it.

Atlanta: $711 for 6 months for '13 RDX and '17 CX-5. No accidents 1 speeding ticket about 10 years ago.

If my 4 year old has to use her knees to get herself into the car then in my eyes is not a wagon. She was able to step into the mazda3 when she was 3 but has to climb into the RDX and the CX-5. I was in the market for a wagon before I got the CX-5 (I traded in the Mazda3 hatch) but no matter...

I think a big part of it is pricing to be honest. Using Audi as a sample I configured the cars as Prestige models with no extras. A4 All-Road: $53,000 Q5: $50,800 A4: $50,000 You are paying $2,200 more for a smaller car. You get almost 2" more rear leg room on the Q5 and 2 more cf. You...

It's not hard to pull of the rear lights. I replaced my rears with LED's and they are fantastic (and WAY brighter). Yes you need resistors. I used thermal paste to paste the resistors to the body behind the light.

Went thru this whole process 7 months ago. CR-V: Not as quiet. Better arm rest. Interior not as nice. Volume slider on steering wheel sucks. Slightly more leg room. More cargo because it's deeper. Lower load height. More expensive (Honda wouldn't deal much). CVT noisy when getting on...

In hilly terrain I would certainly get better MPG just because I don't have to adhere to a strict MPH number. I usually back off gas going up hill and drop below target at top and then just make it up coming down. I think it has been proven that this method is better than maintaining constant...

It's not bad sounding I think. Could be way way way worse.

Does the center diff disengage on braking or are they always partially linked?

$450 is not that bad and their stuff is pretty good quality and not too loud. Just as comparison my old RX7's downpipe custom mandrel bent was about $200. This is a 3" 3 foot long pipe with a O2 bung on it. Catback exaust at muffler shop was $500 for a Magnaflow can (yes it was loud but not...

I'm averaging 22 mpg but it is about 90% city driving. Lots of traffic lights, lots of traffic, and hills. On highway only trips I get about 28-29 per the on-board computer, which is about .5 too high when compared to calculated by fillup.

Yeah I got mine in May so it was about a month or two before the lockout.

I tried out AIO and so far it's been pretty awesome. I did unseat the internal SD navigation card and it works MUCH faster. Likes: Voice commands are great! (Hey Google, navigate me to the nearest Zaxby's!) I like that I can pick Google Maps or Waze and have full traffic info Dislikes: Could...
