    New CX5 Owner - Questions

    That is a good question. I am not sure, if it would... My gut tells me it is somehow related to the infotainment ECU and how it converts the video image from the camera to be displayed onto the screen. I think there now 2 different size screens for the CX-5?

    General consensus on the white color for the CX5

    On my 3rd white CX-5 here. We love the resistance to the summer heat, constant dirt, and paint swirls.

    New CX5 Owner - Questions

    Wow! Very surprised at the decreased performance of the 2nd gen CX-5's Camera. I can now see what you are talking about, as it is much worse than my 2016.5. My 2016.5 CX-5 Matches the appearance of the CX-9 example.

    Stupid question

    They are different generation vehicles, and I doubt they would swap over from 1 generation to the next without modifications to body.

    2017~2025 CEL in high altitude

    For what it is worth, I had a similar experience on a 2006 Mazda5, on long downhill trips in cold weather. To sum it up, (in my personal example) Based upon the engine RPM, and vehicle speed sensors, the computer was expecting engine temps to be within a certain range, however due to the engine...

    New CX5 Owner - Questions

    I can not comment on the other things...and have only towed motorcycle trailers with our 2016.5. As for the poor backup camera, I upgraded the reverse light bulbs to an aftermarket LED lightbulb. BIG IMPROVEMENT!

    Tires! Any advice on new tires for my CX-9?

    While I am a self confessed tire snob, I too have always been impressed and satisfied with the offerings from FALKEN. They seemed equivalent to Bridgestone, Dunlop, Yokohama, quality and performance, but for less $$$.

    Turbo Worth 37% Increase In $$$ - Lease Question

    I was thinking this because of the previous vehicle was a BMW 3 series, and was unsure if needed the turbo power. The CX-30 would give the car like handling, the desired ground clearance, and plenty of power as it is the same base 2.5 motor, just on a lighter platform.

    Turbo Worth 37% Increase In $$$ - Lease Question

    Make sure you also check out the all new CX-30, since you already have a good sized CUV with the CX-9 GT.(headbang)

    Instrument panel reflection on windshield

    Have not seen anybody else mention it, but also I would suggest to: Clean both outside, and INSIDE of the windshield. There is a lot of outgassing from all of the new plastics in the new car, the interiors of the windows will all develop a haze that needs to be cleaned off. This interior...

    New guy here... Very interested in the CX-30

    While I reserve final judgement on the cladding until seen in person, I really look forward to seeing some of the modifications owners do to the cladding. I also look forward to hearing the reasons WHY Mazda went this route on the design. (omg)

    Vibration Issue 50+mph

    Drive another 2019 GT, verify there is no vibration issue, and swap the tires and wheels from that vehicle to yours to verify vibration is corrected with swap.

    Looking at a 2012 Mazda5 ...

    Both of those areas you are concerned about are raw unpainted and untreated metal. If the vehicle has been near moist salt air, I would imagine you might see some surface rust. I remember seeing some very light surface rust on my 2006 Mazda5 in a few places in those areas. I have also seen...

    Best place to list a used car?

    That's the truth! Craigslist has some interesting listers to sift through though. It is amazing how many people do not know the spelling of their vehicle brand or model. One of my favorites also, is typically a picture taken from the second story, through a screen window, producing an...
