    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I will let the @Jcbutta reply, but in November 2020, I was always given $1,750 in incentives to lower the price.... $1000 sales incentive for cash on a 2021. This went away if you opted for the 0.9% financing with Toyota Motor Acceptance Corporation. (Mazda transitioned over from Chase to...

    CX-5 Trailer Hitch

    Looks like down under they include all the necessary parts, unlike in North America, or at least the US where it seems all these parts are required for the 2017-2021 CX-5: 0000-8E-R06A Trailer Hitch Class I 0000-8E-R13 Trailer Wiring Harness 0000-8E-R10 Trailer Hitch Harness Re-Route Kit...

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    I agree with this. Having put the more complex SH-AWD in a 2006 Acura RL through some exercises at a BMW highway safety school, I can say when pushed, especially in the slalom, the Acura RL torque vectoring transformed the car's handling, making me look good even though I have never slalomed...

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    About old Hondas, my 19 inch self propelled Honda mover, a close out buy in 1987 because they were moving to 21 inch mowers, is still running, and in the summer, I use it every week. Sure it burns a little oil, but when the weather is warm, one pull and it starts up. When it is cold, it can be...

    Mazda Factory Trailer Hitch question

    I would agree the ball mount is not included in the price of the receiver, but the OP should speak to a couple of dealers because it is so freaking hard to get to an online parts catalog. I am spoiled by the multitude of Honda/Acura on line parts catalogs... And of course, neither is the...

    Mazda Factory Trailer Hitch question

    What do you define as the receiver? The Mazda trailer hitch has the receiver tube integrated into the assembly, if that is what you are asking. It does not have the ball mount, hitch pin, safety chains, brake light harness. Note the part number for the 2017+ trailer hitch is 0000-8E-R06A...

    2021 CX-5 AWD Turbo Carbon Ed - TPMS sensors?

    Such a shame. I had individual pressures in my 2006 Acura. I have not had individual pressures since that car. I was hoping as technology got cheaper, it would become a more universal thing. That car also allowed multiple TPMS sensors to be used. Drive <5 miles and the new sensors would be...

    Service manager comment - need inputs on brake lines

    And just for clarity, stainless steel brake lines are really "rubber" or other material, which is then "armored" by the stainless braided covering. Just like the stainless steel braided water lines you get for toilets and sinks. They are still rubber inside the stainless. Pretty hard to make...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I would list out the differences and make the trades. We did this with the Signature and GT Reserve and a few features tripped it over for my wife to go Sig. Regarding 20 vs 21, the new infotainment was the factor to go 21. It is much improved since 2016 Mazda6 I had and worth the upgrade from...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I would also say that back in 2009 I have a very bad experience with VentureShield. The film was crap, the finish becoming dull (on a black car) within 2 years. It was significantly cheaper at the time than 3M. 3M has since bought VentureShield some years ago. I can only hope they have...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Every situation is different, but depending on the accessories, could be a good deal. This is what experienced. I would have been just $1000 less because no accessories. I sourced all my accessories separately, over time, the big one being PPF, and the obligatory all weather mats from...

    CX-5 engine rattle

    Definitely louder than our 2014 CX5 GT Tech AWD with 2.5L. Does not sound right. Certainly hope the tango uniform opinion does not come to pass for you!

    CX-5 trunk space for snowboards?

    No, I have never tried, but looking at the boards in our basement that would be no. You need to at least lower the middle seat. We have bags, and so that would mean lowering the one of the side seats for diagonal fitting and width of the bags, but I think this is now down to personal equipment...

    Anybody Require / Receive a Printed Brochure?

    My dealer said they don’t have any so I ordered from Mazda USA in November and nothing yet.

    Rear sunroof drain blocked (CX-5 2012)

    I would be careful with wire in case you pierce the hose. You need to research this, but I heard on the radio that the time honored solution is to blow it out with compressed air. I imagine you would use the attachments I have circled in red, or possible one of the smaller attachments.
