    Trim or option regrets after purchasing

    That's what I am talking about! I thought this was a gimmick until we had it!

    Red color chipping concerns

    Agree that dark colors show chips, and the lighter the color, the less noticeable. Lately I have been trying out silver and white cars. I have, since 2006 used partial coverage PPF as insurance, except on a leased car. In that case, there were a few chips on the blue mica. Still noticeable...

    Trim or option regrets after purchasing

    I may be off topic here, but turbochargers are not that exotic anymore, especially with modern materials that can handle the hot exhaust gasses. Now in WWII when the P51 and P38 were flying, they used two stage superchargers for the Packard (Rolls Royce Merlin) engined P51 and a complex turbo...

    Replacement for G91a tires

    The Dunlops on my 2016 Mazda6 wore out at less than 20K miles. Those I really complained about to no avail

    Trade-Up? 2021 CX-5 or 2023 CX-5 (or CX-50)?

    I agree it is a long wait. And the first year may be have more problems than usual because it is not necessarily the same old tech on a new platform. The RWD/AWD based, inline six, or new 4may have some sort of mild hybrid built in, if I remember some articles... Despite my "sage" advice, I...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    No pix, but I finally washed her. The day was near 70! I realize i have to clay bar and wax or something. What is the solution these days. Nu Finish or something like that I do not want to do ceramic sealer, my son did that and I am not impressed after 8 months. I am sorry, but I am done...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    @TimPro What is the update on the Corksport Intercooler? Looks like it uses every bit of extra space behind the bumper!

    Need help wiring rear fog light, 2015 CX-5 touring

    Yes, I experienced this very phenomenon in very heavy fog. I came up suddenly on a car, and his regular tail lights only became visible when almost on top of him. The rear fog lights on other cars did help tremendously, and those rear fog lights are extremely bright when people use the fog...

    Need help wiring rear fog light, 2015 CX-5 touring

    Interesting, I remember those lights from trips to Europe or countries with EU standards, such as Hong Kong, before it went back to the Chinese. The other interesting thing I remember, which I don't know if it is required still, was what I call half parking lights. There was a switch that...

    2013~2016 Dead battery after only 3 years

    I don't know about you, but with COVID, we are hardly driving. Maybe a trickle charger would help you? The other thing is AutoZone and the like can at least test your battery to see what it does under load, then you can make a determination whether a new battery is in order. Our experience...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Seems pretty good,.. Some of the accessories have no price....what does that mean? They are included at no cost (mats, cargo tray, door sills), or they are not included at all? I like the pre-midyear price and destination, should be $175 higher now, but they make it up in the Mobile Shield...

    That is what I thought. If I get one it will be OEM. Thanks for the feedback!

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I generally like to shop for a lot of these extras myself. I may or may not save money, but for us, many such items are personals taste, and there may be other alternatives to the OEM parts, such as the much recommended Maxpider mats, or WeatherTech or Husky. For example, on our 2014 CX5, we...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    We paid for our White 2021 Signature at the end of November, on 11/28/20 and you can see the pricing results here. Everyone has a different market and different time and dealer environment when they buy. I was able to solicit 6 or 7 dealers, whose web sites specified they had the car available...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    The so called JessicaAlba pedals require no drilling. The accelerator pedal has a thick rubber sleeve/lip that fits over existing pedal. Very secure. The brake pedal requires you remove the rubber OEM pedal cover, and replace it with the metal cover which has a thick lip, just like the...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    It has been done before, but I ordered these off Amazon for $25.00 and you can see why the WeatherTech mats are not superior for foot rest coverage.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I guess you first need to decide if you want the turbo and that might make it easier. For us, because of driving habits, we wanted the turbo for the extra power and will pay the gas penalty as it will likely be one of our last all gas cars. The white paint costs $400 more due to the three...
