Mazda engineers have done a really nice job with the current tranny. The 6 speed is excellent but not that fuel efficient as the competition. An 8-10speed or a double clutch tranny nicely paired with a nice engine would be great. Current Rav4 and CRV get about 34-35 MPG on the Hwy. Mazda I...

I'm sure it's gonna look really nice but mostly I hope that Mazda finally upgrades their powertrain, specially the transmission. A bigger trunk will help as well and to add the touch screen.

Hello guys, I just got a 2021 CX5 GT and I love it. I was originally gonna get the Carbon Edition but for an extra $550 I went with the GT, and I'm glad I did. One issue with the sound, the bass sounded horrible. I went to upgraded and I noticed the weight on it, lighter than my previous Bose...

I just got a 2020 Touring, but came with no maps. So I got an SD card with the maps, a version prior to the latest one. I thing I got it for about $40, then I updated. Also it comes with three years of updates. I love Carplay but just incase I'm in a place w/o cell service, I have the Navi ready...

Welcome to this forum. I had a 2017 CX5 and I did the Carplay upgrade , totally worth it. You can get besides maps, like Waze, music like Pandora and XM. And the system works really well (console buttons). You can get the parts on ebay for around $150 shipped. And the stealership can do the...

I'll try. I never have abused any of my cars, always babied them. This morning the wife stated the same as your fiance. I'll will. Thanks for your responses guys. I really love the CX5, its my third one. My other vehicle is a 2019 Honda CRV. Love it but the CX5 is much more fun to drive...

Hey guys, I had the Recall #3719F software fixed yesterday done on my 2019 CX5. It took about 45 minutes. Anyone else had the fix done? I noticed that the CX5 is not as much fun to drive anymore as it was before the fix. Also, I noticed that at take off, if I give a lot of gas, there's a huge...

Hello guys, I got a question for you guys, the ones who have done the install. You guys with a Touring model (W/O fogs) have noticed if there's a wiring in place for the fog lights? Do you guys needed to removed the front bumper? I got a Touring model and will add the fog lights only. But I...

I got the upgrade on my 2017 CX5. Great update and cheap ($150). I got the software upgrade for free at my local dealership. The hardware part took me about an hour because I was being really careful not to scratch the vehicle. Very happy with it.

Also, the 3 eyesight monitoring system on the Subaru gets disable when the road is covered with snow or if there is heavy rain. Also I heard some people were having issues when they used Rain X on the windshield. I totally agree with you, I noticed the oil issue and yes, the stealership...

SBKIM, good catch on the new platform on the upcoming Forester model. I think it should be a safer/better platform. I can't wait to drive one. Also, the 3 eyesight monitoring system is really good for the safety (I don't have it in mine) but it is very annoying. We bought a 2016 Subaru outback...

ALafya, thanks for your comments. Regarding the radio, but you need to select something else like FM, Aux or CD, meaning the radio will always be on. Most of the time I play music from the USB so if I muted the radio it will continued to play music in the background. I just want a button to shut...

One of the reasons we use the CX5 for long trips (FL-NY) is because it uses regular gas instead of premium. BUT the main reason is because I don't want to put all those miles in my FXT. We already drove the CX5 from CO to FL and from Fl to NY twice. We'll be trading the CX5 in the next few years...

SBKIM, I hope I'm not too late to respond to your question regarding the two vehicles. I own both and the thing is they are a complete different animal, main difference is the engine and power on the XT, in my opinion is the best by a mile. Let me start by saying that I own a 2015 Subaru...

Hey gang, I just found out about the recall yesterday while using Yahoo. Anyhow, I called my local dealership in Central Florida and I was told that they don't have the parts or information to do the fix. I stated that I needed a loaner for my wife and the kids since it was stated in an...

I just added the auto dimming mirror with a compass. I just run a wire from the bottom driver's side, I just added a fuse wire (accessory wire) and the power goes on when I turn the Cx5 on. No problems. I added the wire on the same time when I added the remote starter.

First, you can use a leather protecting coat yourself twice a year and that should do the job (see link below). You can apply it and let the windows down overnight (secure garage) so you won't have to worry about the smell for the kiddo. You can do the same with 3M Scotchgard Fabric Protector...

Good observation, however, I have the Touring model, I just added the SD card for the GPS. I remember that the last time I had the issue, I was running the car and the radio was on, when I went to use the GPS, the system went black and then after few seconds the system restarted. Does it use my...

I could have waited for the mobile van for the repair but they were book for the entire week. And since the temperature was in the 30s (lows) I didn't want the crack to get bigger so I chose to drive in the next day. As far as Safelite, the is the second windshield they have repaired, and this...

Hey guys, I got a 2016 Touring model and I really like it. I also have the GPS (very nice) and I think is great, no issues. But I noticed that the screen have gone black and then it had reset itself. I noticed it at least three times in the past three weeks or so, anyone have experienced this...
