    How many actual miles on a new car?

    Mine was delivered to the dealership with 5 miles on it. It was delivered to me with 38 miles on it becauyi was competing two dealerships in the same corporate family and one dealer was sure they had the sale and had it transferred (driven over) to them. Only to have the other dealer close for...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Well at least you live in a state that allows no front license plates unless you are using an alternative front license plate mounting point such as the tow hook hole.

    Vehicle selection

    I guess it just depends. In November I wanted to get a 21 Signature in White. In the Washington DC area I was able to find 6 in inventory in about 15 + dealers in the area so I could solicit prices on "real" cars..at least they all had VINs. But in 2013 when we wanted to get a 2014 CX5 2.5L...

    Vehicle selection

    My insurance agent was remarking her choice came down to Volvo or CX5 Signature. She ended up with the Volvo, so at least Mazda is getting cross shopping from upmarket brands, sort of like they planned when they decided to go up market

    2021 Signature Windows freezing up

    Good to know. I almost never go into Cabelas or boating stores. In fact, I almost never go to stores anymore except for grocery stores! Call me on line lazy.

    2020 CX-5 Smart Braking...No cross traffic detection?

    Based on the scenario described above, I believe that this is out of the sweet spot of the Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE Smart Braking System, based on my experience with these driver support systems since 2006 as implemented by Acura, Mazda and Subaru. They all sort of work the same way, although the...

    2021 Signature Windows freezing up

    Interesting recommendation. I find the 303 Aerospace Protectant superior to all armor all like products, and have been using it for years. A little pricey, I agree. Usually sourced on online because I have never seen it in stores.

    2017~2025 Best Winter Tires for the CX-5?

    This is my experience with my Subaru, which I believe would be instructive for those CX-5 drivers looking for winter tires. I had a great experience with the Tire Rack. I apologize for the long post. I think the choices for the Mazda CX-5 are easier because the car can run anywhere from 16...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Thanks. Just took it to a shop for a preliminary estimate, $3100 + not including the PPF replacement, and no idea if there is any other damage. The door and the front fender need to be repainted. This entails removing some of the molding which Mazda specifies as one time use (e.g., chrome...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    WHAT WAS DONE TO MY CX-5 Technically my wife’s 21 Signature with 94 miles on it...sideswiped by someone who said they did not see me. 40 mph on a suburban road. I think the snowflake pearl white mica is going to be a b**** to paint...

    SD Navigation Card for a 2021?

    Yes, that is one intelligent thing about Mazda's infotainment implementation. The sales person said all the same hardware is put into the car so it cuts down on hardware configuration control. I would check before you buy to be sure. For my car, they just popped a card into an existing slot...

    SD Navigation Card for a 2021?

    The dealer diagnosed a bad card. They got a new one and it worked fine. What is nice is this system is so much better than the 2014 Tom Tom system and the integration with the HUD is a nice touch, telling you what your next turn is. I noticed Apple Maps does not do this. Have not tried Waze...

    2017~2025 Do I need to replace the 4 tyres?

    Or as noted by Consumer Reports and Tire Rack, etc, you can shave the new tire to match what you have.

    Open questions before I can buy the CX-5

    The Bose engine enhancer is part of the Bose Active Sound Management feature. According to the Bose site, no Mazda has this feature. There certainly does not appear to be one in the turbo CX5 that I can detect, nor is the feature mentioned in the Owners Manual as are Centerpoint and AudioPilot...

    Open questions before I can buy the CX-5

    Does the new 2021 cameras give you the guidelines on the screen? I seem to be getting mixed answers. Yes, distance and width guidelines front and rear including what I call projected vehicle path that changes as you move the steering wheel. I feel this is very useful and extremely accurate. I...

    2017~2025 Do I need to replace the 4 tyres?

    Technically, you are supposed to replace all four tires at the same time, especially if you have an AWD car. The computers assume the tires are all the same diameter and type, and three worn tires and one new tire MAY affect performance. 19000 miles is about a third to half life. I would...
