    All Weather Mats...Which?

    Got the tray when I purchased the floor mats. Same material and style as the floor mats. Very happy with it.

    Brand of gas and fuel mileage

    Gotcha. All the same I'll take less heat over more heat. Not worth the risk for me.

    Brand of gas and fuel mileage

    The problem with running the tank down isn't so much the garbage getting sucked up, but instead the negative effect on the fuel pump. Fuel pumps use the gasoline that they're submerged in for lubrication and to dissipate heat. When you run a tank low the fuel pump is not submerged and...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed the oem sill plates. Definitely like the look. Wife stole it before I could snap pics. I'll get some when she gets back.

    2014 CX-5 GT vs 2013 CX-5 T vs 2013 RAV4

    Meh-- styling leaves a lot to be desired, imo. CX-5 reliability has been well above average and Mazda overall has received very good reliability ratings. That being said, I can certainly understand how a problem vehicle can leave a bad taste in your mouth. I'd go drive both and take it from...

    Edmunds.com CX-5 Long Term Review

    ^This. To get in anything luxury you're going to be north of $40k unless you get a stripped model. The new Ford Escape loaded with most options approaches $40k, iirc.

    Will do.

    Rear seat release / oil changes etc.

    Yeah, I'm struggling with taking advantage of the free changes. I do almost everything on my cars myself. I've been on the fence with the dealer oil changes. I have a feeling that they're going to tell me they use the Castrol which will make my decision easy.

    Rear seat release / oil changes etc.

    Yes, the Castrol is also recommended-- but the first thing under oil in the manual is this: "Use SAE 0W-20 engine oil. Mazda Genuine Oil is used in your Mazda vehicle. Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil is required to achieve optimum fuel economy." There are numerous reports of dealers using the Castrol...

    Rear seat release / oil changes etc.

    Umm, are they kidding? I would drive back there and demand they change the oil and put in not only the oil you requested, but the oil that it says in the freakin manual is recommended and necessary to achieve maximum fuel economy as per page 6-21 of the manual. Secondly, your seats should...
