    Dealership or Jiffy Lube

    I'd skip Jiffy Lube. Too many horror stories. Find a competent shop or use the dealer. I've only taken my two CX-5's to the dealer, it's about the same price for oil, rotations, alignments, tires, etc. They have a nice lounge with free drinks, wide screen TV and they're fairly fast plus you...

    Feelings about the 2026 CX-5 eliminating turbo and physical buttons?

    That's what happens when the bean counters invade the company. Happens all the time through all industries.

    Feelings about the 2026 CX-5 eliminating turbo and physical buttons?

    As for physical buttons, I prefer them to all the digital screen electronica that seems to be so popular with cars. But if it's a boost in reliability and durability, it's probably the way of things. Current vehicle is a 2016 CX-5, with the "Commander" control button and 7" touch screen...

    Feelings about the 2026 CX-5 eliminating turbo and physical buttons?

    They should of kept the turbo in the 2026 until the hybrid arrived. Once you've driven the turbo you don't want to go back.

    Feelings about the 2026 CX-5 eliminating turbo and physical buttons?

    This will probably be a deal breaker for me. How say you?

    Center armrest latch/lock removal. Plastic catch has broken off. Help!

    You have to be careful closing it or there's no question that the latch will break. Best thing to do is squeeze the latch before you lower it and once it's lowered in position release your grip on it otherwise the mechanisms make contact on the way down and eventually the plastic will break.

    TSR not working on 2025 CX-5 Turbo Signature (no nav card)

    Are you sure.? I was under the impression that the NAV card was only required until a traffic sign on speed limit sign was detected then the system read the sign and displayed the info on the HUD. I'll have to test it.

    Need Help with CX-5 Oil issue PCV

    Shouldn't you be running 5w20 syn oil? Loud idle on startup is normal, it's the fast cat warming, usually drops back to normal after 20-30 seconds. ps: don't overfill the oil, half way between min/max is fine.

    Shopping Used CX-5s, questions about cracked cylinder years

    Didn't realize it was that early, sales guy told me it was new for the 19's. He said it was a big selling point along with the turbo.

    Shopping Used CX-5s, questions about cracked cylinder years

    I have a 11 yo 2016 CX-5 with 45,000 miles on the ODO. It will definitely last another 10 years. In order to have 10 care free years you have to find one that was taken care of and has low mileage. They're out there but hard to find. Kinda like Bigfoot.

    True - he would have to start at 2019 for the HUD.

    Shopping Used CX-5s, questions about cracked cylinder years

    Above 2021's. 2019 - 2021 turbos could develop cracked cylinder head but they're covered under extended warranty for this problem. Usually presents itself as a coolant leak. The NA engines can also have this problem but it will present itself as a oil leak. As of now no extended warranty yet...

    N7Turbo is correct, all doors must be unlocked for the button in the cabin to work.

    2013~2016 CX-5 Oil Burn

    That is not normal. I have a 2016 Touring AWD and I've never had to add any oil between oil changes. Did you account for the oil in the filter? Note where the level is now on the dipstick and then check it every week and record it, see if it's actually using/burning oil. Did you partner...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Harbor Freight sells decent products but I wouldn't go with their low end stuff especially when there's the risk of damage/fire. I've bought many things from them and they sell mid-range products, good for the DIY'er.

    Never was an option to respond, you need to pull over and send the text through your phone.

    Anyone get an SD card for the CX-70/90 from Amazon?

    I think the HUD will show the stop signs, speed limits when it can detect them. I think the SD card is needed when you pull out onto a road and there's no speed limit sign in view. The system will pull that from the SD card as well as any Nav info required.

    I wish Mazda would bring back the original RX-7

    Had an 86 RX-7, year they changed from the smaller version. Think the 86 won Motor Trend car of the year. Dealers would not bargain but I wanted one. So I paid MSRP. Didn't like the look from the back with the large window so I ordered the black louvers for the back. Completely changed the...
