    Turbo, Fuel Octane and Altitude

    Well luckily Costco is just about everywhere now so I think my gut that's it's a no brainer to just keep premium in it for the trip, get a little better MPG, enjoy they few extra horses. If I was doing a 4000 mile trip coast to coast I might think otherwise but for a few extra dollars having...

    Are you waiting for a third-generation CX-5?

    Here's the 3rd Gen. You can't tell much other than the body design isn't very much different than the current one, which is good because the current one is a very nice design, better in my opinion than any mid-size crossover except maybe a much more expensive Jaguar F-Pace (Cadillac is okay...

    Last Word on Tire Pressure Readout or Lack Thereof?

    Kind of a pitty, considering the 2021's with the updated Infotainment system combined with Mazda Connect, especially on the higher end Signature and Reserve models, has SO many bells and whistles, and yet they can't do what my 2009 Volvo S60R did and show individual pressure readings saving me...

    Last Word on Tire Pressure Readout or Lack Thereof?

    Forgive me if I missed the past thread in my search. But, I've seen screenshots of MyMazda Connected Services app that show tire pressure. I did some Googling and apparently, the new CX-5's (2021) with the 10.5" screen are actually what is considered Gen 6.5 whereas the newer model CX-50 is...

    Turbo, Fuel Octane and Altitude

    Wondering what people's opinions are with the turbo engine as far as octane choice as it pertains to altitude (and outside temp) to some degree. I'm taking a road trip in my GTR going from Sea Level with temps in the upper 70's to high desert (3,500-4,500 ft) and low 90's then eventually to...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I made a typo. I traded a CX-5 GT not a CX-9 GT. So bottom line, with the free hitch, I basically got $26,900 on the trade and $1000 under invoice on the 21 GTR. I have since seen another Black Book source that was showing $29K Clean Trade on a 19 CX-5 GT with 20K miles. I had little equity...

    Has The Used Car Market Gone Insane?

    I hate when they add those extras that are unnecessary for most buyers (LED door sills, facia, roof rack, all season mats). Typically most of those options are dealer installed not factory. I'm not sure specifically on each option for Mazda. Most brands/dealers in the past they put them on the...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I have a 2019 GT with 7 months left on the lease and I did a lot of digging talking to a dealer and checking trade values on Black Book, Carvana, and Vroom. In a nutshell, the trade value is currently about around $2.5K more than it would be in a "normal" used car market pre-COVID. (This I have...

    Has The Used Car Market Gone Insane?

    Here's a little update. I confirmed with Mazda lease, the buy out price they are quoting includes sales tax which is 10.3% in my state which explains why the difference between the current and end of lease buy out in 7 months is much greater than my total payments as the buy out price on the...

    Has The Used Car Market Gone Insane?

    I think they meant $6K under MSRP, not invoice. And I imagine that MSRP includes destination fee ($1,100), metallic paint ($600), and sometimes they add $125 for floor mats and $400 for roof rack. $6K under invoice would be selling at a huge loss for the dealer. I would think at best they sell...

    Has The Used Car Market Gone Insane?

    Prices can vary greatly depending on the area of the country. West Coast is typically most expensive and Florida least. It can be a huge disparity, and then every place inbetween. I'm having second thoughts on whether the new Infotainment with 10" screen is really that important to me when I...

    Has The Used Car Market Gone Insane?

    I've got 7 months left on my 19 CX-5 GT Lease. I was going to upgrade and buy a used 2020 Signature at the end of a lease to avoid the depreciation hit. I'm a "Car Guy" this is my 28th car over 36 years (typically owned 2 cars at a time), 2nd lease. The only other lease I did was on an Acura...

    Pedal Commander...Best Mod I have done

    Does anyone know for sure if sport mode on the CX-5 does anything at all to pedal response, or does it just only raise the shift points? I really love my 2019 CX-5 and this is coming from someone that typically has owned sports sedans with higher HP to weight ratio and tracked my Volvo S60R...

    Orange Virus Tuning is continuing Mazda (tuning)

    This post regarding Orange Virus is in the CX-5 forum. I have a 2019 US CX-5 2.5L 187HP and I have scoured the Internet and contacted tuners for over a year and there's nothing out there so far that I've found for this vehicle, at least the 2019+ model (although the engine I think is unchanged...

    2017~2025 Tune for CX-5?

    I know this thread is old, but I bought a 2019 CX-5 (non turbo) a year and a half ago. I thoroughly scoured the Internet and contacted a few different online tuning sellers since then and still have yet to find anyone that support the USA 2.5L 187HP engine. You will notice most say they are...

    Homelink with Craftsman Garage Door Opener - Won't Work - Help

    Nope. I followed those instructions exactly. Clear codes, press remote and Homelink and hold until the blink changes. Hit learn on the opener press and hold homelink, it blinks fast then after 2 seconds goes solid and opener light blinks. Repeat, same thing, fast then solid. Opener doesn't...

    Homelink with Craftsman Garage Door Opener - Won't Work - Help

    2019 CX-5 GT with Homelink. Craftsman Garage Door opener (probably about 15 years old I'm guessing with battery backup - although the battery backup still works so maybe it's a newer model that was installed by previous owner?) Anyway, I read the manual, watched the videos and can't get it to...

    Impressions After A month with my 2019 GT - What's with the "Leather" Seats?

    But doesn't the "leather" on the front of the seating surface feel like vinyl to you? I'm talking especially the front edge under your legs. It feels thick and plasticky with a cheap texture, not soft and smooth.

    Impressions After A month with my 2019 GT - What's with the "Leather" Seats? Coming from a 2010 Acura MDX... Driving Feel, Technology, Looks, and Value were the four main criteria that I used in my new vehicle selection. Still extremely happy with... - Driving feel (I usually purchase Luxury...
