    A Very Comfortable Center Console Arm Rest

    There is no doubt that in my old age (77) I am truly blessed. <>< The MX-5 is so much fun to drive and I have done a lot of mods to it over the past 2 1/2 years, including improving the suspension system. So far, my health has allowed me to do everything myself, with a bit of help from my...

    A Very Comfortable Center Console Arm Rest

    My wife is shorter than I am so when she drives the CX-5, she has even less of an arm rest available. However, she has never cared one way or another about arm rests until she tried out my invention. At first she said, it will be removed when she drives but now she says, it stays. Thanks...

    A Very Comfortable Center Console Arm Rest

    I've tried your setting but then I can't reach the pedals or see over the steering wheel. :D My wife didn't mind the way our CX-5 center arm rest was. When she drives, she doesn't use the arm rest. However, when she is a passenger, the seat is all the way back. Then she does. Same for me...

    A Very Comfortable Center Console Arm Rest

    Okay, before I get flamed let me defend myself..... I know this is not going to win any beauty contests. However, it is very comfortable and convenient. It can also be removed in seconds when not in use. I have no doubt that anyone desiring more comfort for their right arm in the CX-5...

    2017 Tow Hitch

    I also purchased the same Lisle Muffler Removal tool quite some time ago and it worked perfectly on 2 different vehicles. Perfect for when I installed an after market exhaust on my 2016 MX-5 GT. Perfect for when I removed the exhaust to install a Draw-Tite on my 2018 CX-5 GT. The hanger...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    The reason black is used between the windows is for aesthetic purposes. It makes the vehicle look much sleeker with the glass blending in the entire length of the vehicle. This is true, especially if the glass has after market tint. If mine get scratched or get the spider web look, I use...

    1st gen vs 2nd gen forum

    Many have said that the various Generations of CX-5s have a great deal of similarities. That is very true. However, a specific area where that is definitely not true is "Accessories". The vast majority of after market accessories are First or Second generation specific. As has already been...

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    I've had my 18, CX-5 in the shop for this problem. Mechanic said this is normal due to a "Highly efficient Torque Converter" in the 18+ models. I will learn to live with it.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Unfortunately, yes. The stainless steel piece for the right front door does not come with an opening for the window buttons. During the process of cutting the hole, my Dremel slipped twice. I will probably get a new one and try it again.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Yes, that black, polished ABS plastic will scratch extremely easy. Like you said, just look at it and it scratches. Your console top looks great. I also got tired of constantly polishing off the scratches and finally covered the center console as well as the piano black on all 4 doors. The...

    Did anyone cross-shop CX-5 with the new Tiguan?

    I am very sorry to hear that the new Tiguan now has an anemic engine. A few months ago I traded my 2016 Tiguan for my current 2018 CX-5. My Tiguan had the 2.0 with a Turbo and was very peppy. I miss that power with my CX-5 but love every other aspect of the CX-5. Plus, it is a much better...

    Warning - Possible Hatch Damage Due to Ice Forming

    I live in southern Arizona so ice and snow are not a common problem here, although I did have quite a bit of snow at my house this past New Years Day. Fortunately not enough to cause a hatch problem. However, I did experience a scenario similar to the OP about 3 weeks ago. I pulled my CX-5...

    Door Stop Covers

    I already had the polished stainless steel covers for the door latches. Put them on my MX-5 and CX-5. It's too bad the door stop covers aren't available in stainless steel also. I like that look but the black is better than nothing.
