    Trade-Up? 2021 CX-5 or 2023 CX-5 (or CX-50)?

    The Subaru Legacy is now 4 years old; add another 1.5 years for the release of the 2023 model Mazda CX-5. A 6 year old vehicle is not old or unsafe. If the current vehicle is properly maintained and not giving you any headaches, I'd say squirrel away a few more nickels until the 2023 model...

    CX-5 Lift Gate Cap Part Number?

    2019 CX5 2.5 L Gas Turbo CARB LEGAL Intake options

    @OneLostLlama -- while in the realm of possibility it is HIGHLY doubtful a traffic stop would result in the lifting of the hood of your vehicle AND that the officer would write a ticket for it. Remember you can refuse consent to the search of your vehicle. CARB legal is about emissions and...

    Best car starter?

    @escape75 you might be over thinking it a bit. 4G is going to be well supported for quite some time.. 6+ years. Yes 3G is dead in the next 2 years for the most part. For fees .. yeah figure $149 for 5 years of service, which is about 2.50 a month.

    Best car starter?

    I think most people mount it (RF antenna) either under the trim of the driver side A pillar (hidden) or very near the top of the windshield passenger side (not under the headliner) - the thought being yeah the antenna is exposed but the driver really cant see it under normal operations - let the...

    2018 CX5 issue with emissions test

    VW used car software to detect emission testing and ran parameters that defeated the testing, then ran another set of parameters during normal operation. My thought is that the one emission testing center that is working -- could simply be too old / too new for Mazda to detect. Just a thought.
