    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    Yeah. It's stupid as hell. No armrest or cupholders. So you have 4 cupholders in the front row and rear has 2 cupholders, one at each door. The CX-9 Sport has the armrest and cupholders in the second row without the USBs

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    As far as I know the base Camry L has a manual seat as well. The main issue I have rear armrest with cupholders missing for the base model. I don't need one with USB ports but geez. Everyone in the rear has to hold their drinks because the ones in the door are slanted at an obscene angle. I...

    LOL @ Rav4

    All the new Rav4 have LED reflectors as standard. If you opt for the RAV4 hybrid model, it uses LED projectors.

    2017 CX-5 - Tail Lamp Assembly - GT

    Best of luck, I can't wait to see how it turns out I'd be tempted to do it if it's plug and play

    2017 CX-5 - Tail Lamp Assembly - GT

    You bought the outer portion of the taillight only right? Are you planning the inside where the reverse light is? https://www.bostonherald.com/wp-content/uploads/migration/2017/11/29/111617mazdacx5mw004.jpg?w=620

    2019 CX-5 Diesel

    I saw a diesel model when I had scheduled maintenance last week, the listed sticker was $43K after some window tint and paint protection. For that money might as well get a CX-9 GT.

    2017~2025 Touchscreen lockout override in 2017+ CX-5

    I did the mod two months after purchasing the vehicle. Taking apart the dash was the easy part but wiring the CMU took more time than expected. Overall, the entire process was about 2 hours. The software for Android auto isn't perfect but it's definitely superior to stock. In additional to...

    I wonder...

    My brother drives a 2016 CX-5 and it definitely feels lighter and spry compared to my vehicle in terms of acceleration and spirited driving. The only downside I had was the noticeable wind noise at 80mph on the freeway.

    Did you have the rocker issue recall work done? Post your experience here

    I appreciate the concern. I went in on July 3rd and there was one other car waiting for service so it was not busy at all. I verified on the Mazda website that the VIN recall status was closed.

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    I had mines completed yesterday along with an oil change/tire rotation. Took about an hour. I revved the crap of it and took it up to 95mph for a split second. Everything seems fine.

    Annoying dash board rattling (2018 CX-5)

    Update: I dropped my car off before work hoping the dealership would discover and repair the rattle. Instead, they gave it a loaner car and told me to return it later that day. Sweet! The tech was able to conduct some road test and was able to diagnose the issue. It turned out the clear plastic...

    Must Admit as a Mazda CX5 Fan, 2019 Chevy Blazer Looks Awesome

    Not a big fan of American cars but if I had to, I'd choose a Ford. The CRV has engine issues so they're out. Toyota, Honda and Mazda for me. Hopefully this CX-5 I have will last for a while.

    Must Admit as a Mazda CX5 Fan, 2019 Chevy Blazer Looks Awesome

    I would rather purchase a base RX350 than a fully loaded Blazer or a CX-9 from Japan over a CX-5 from Mexico.

    Annoying dash board rattling (2018 CX-5)

    Thanks guys. I don't have sunglasses and I don't feel comfortable prying apart the dash. I feel like the noise is coming from the piece of dash on top of the instrument panel.
