I would probably do it only when mine is broken or damaged. Thanks for posting.

I think you knew what to avoid already. I have a '22 Turbo from new. To your questions.. It takes time for a new engine to mature. I think problems with Mazda Turbo engine were fixed one by one as they showed up (not many I know except for the crack and ring). No one can guarantee for Mazda...

The tire pressure sensor emits its unique ID periodically at speed above 15mph(?) to save battery life. The ECU picks up the IDs and programs them into its memory automatically and also periodically. No need to program by human. (On my old '08 CX9, programming was required at dealership) As you...

Sounds like a bad/weak battery to me. Just replaced the AGM Q85 (w/ iEloop) battery of my '16 Mazda6 GT. Before that, when starting, the starter struggled a bit and then a couple turns later, it started up. With new battery, no struggling. The previous AGM lasted 6 yrs. AGM is required for...

AFAIK, shops get some $ from Carfax for reporting, but not all of them want to deal with CarFax. Typically small indie shops choose not to. Dealers mostly do, if not all. Why not reporting? Privacy. You don't want the next buyer to see every tiny issues you dealt with during your ownership. So...

My suggestion (if I were you). 1. pull GPS SD card from slot. 2. discount everything you pair the system. No phone, no USB music, no AndroidAuto/CarPlay See if it goes well after these. If yes, put them back one by one and test it after each change. If no, you can try to update software...

If I were you, I would start by taking the interior panels off. Then, exterior ones if I have to. Both are not that difficult to do. Check Youtube for videos.

Check 12V battery. If it has been there since new, it is about time. If you have a multi-meter, measure the voltage after it sits for a while. Should be 12.4 to 12.6V.

I am puzzled by the "ride smoother" part... could it be the PSI of your tires remain above 40psi? Some new cars have that issue while they sit on boat and parking lots to avoid flat spotting. For remote. Just a guess. Do you carry your fob and cell phone in the same pocket? The signals could...

Just wondering. Does your Mazda6 has the iEloop system? GT has it. Not sure about yours. If yes, the problem gets more complex. Any codes/errors on the dash?

If not battery (which OP replaced), it could be the BCM. (body control module) It is listed as #3. BCM is the control center for these non-engine features. My guess, of course.

Once is a while, you need to take your vehicle out for an exercise. Not kidding. Rev it up to at least 4k or 5k safely. If you keep babying the car, the transmission gets lazy.... thanks to transmission's grade logic that learns from your driving.

Need a pic.

My '17 GT has been solid except for the belt tensioner seepage. Short drives mostly. 55k miles. GPS SD card went bad. Replaced easily. I agree. Both are good choices. BTW, I believe '17 is slower due to being heavier from extra noise mitigating materials. If you don't care about tranquility...

My guess is that when that 1st guy put the chain back on, the timing was off. Usually, people put down markings before they remove the chain... so that timing remains the same when the chain is put back on. If so, you need to bring it to people who can adjust timing. Or/And, P0017 is about oil...

2017 should be quieter.

To debug this, divide-n-conquer. Put your CX5 in Park. Rev the engine to see if you can reproduce the noise. if not, it is the moving parts.. drive shaft, (incl. heat shield contacting it). If yes, it could be engine mount, or tensioner slipping.

I don't like what I see in the spy photo. The front end styling looks dated. The wheels look like Mazda's, but what else? The side mirrors don't look like Mazda's. The design around the grille doesn't look Mazda to me.

I like CX5 so much that I got two in my house... :) Mazda has the best overall packages among all Japanese brands in my opinion. Reliability might not be the best but still top notch.
