Could be a solution. Will have a look at the local dealership. Wife made a good suggestion which was to get the foam shaved by half it*s depth. I tried my m3 headrest in the mazda. But pole distance out by 1/4 inch or so. A guy on YouTube explains the issue she has quite well . A rather...

Due to current design and position my wife has the seat inclined back to the point when the headrest distance would be greater distance than turning the headrest around. Turning it around would be a better step in the right direction. The irony is she noticed that the current headrest is a...

Thanks Will try around other way. Also have noticed that my bmw e46 m3 headrest have a similar spacing. Will try and see if they fit on the weekend and will report back

The cx-5 seats are reasonably comfortable but the wife finds the headrests sit too far forward so tilts the seat back to compensate. ( her old BMW had some fore and aft adjustments) Im reasonably sure the mazda headrests are designed to improve whiplash by having a small space between head and...

It would appear mazda views these posts and disappointing to see that the nz website now has euro 5 under cx-5 ( and others)on the website. Since your watching Mazda you might want to change https://www.mazda.co.nz/innovation/driving-engine-technology/skyactiv to remove the reference to...

From the nz website. *It*s lighter too and, thanks to a two-stage turbocharger, SKYACTIV-D reaches rpms others thought impossible. The ultra-clean SKYACTIV-D even meets the future Euro 6 emissions standard, all without the need of any expensive exhaust aftertreatment system* Hopefully Mazda...

Point is that in real world figures you*ll get a third more range over a petrol version cx-5. The estimated economy by the epa is out considerably yet our engine does euro 6d by the look of things which is close to USA standards for emissions so I wouldn*t buy into USA needs a special tune and...

Debate on fuel use easily solve. Thiis use is a combo of suburban use and some 62mph highway use. Average is 36 miles per US gallon for all travel. The cx5 does at least 430 miles to the fuel warning light and the cx5 has a large reserve. It could easily do 500 miles or more if highway driving...

I*m at a loss as to why the pioneer ib subwoofer has been used to replace a woofer. Would leave a substantial hole in upper bass and work roll off well before a mid range kicked in. Have I missed something?

Nice and tidy with clean lines. I*d be happy if I made something like that. What*s you plans for feeding your DSP. Are you going to use factory speaker out or is it possible to mod the infotainment system for an rca / unbalanced output ?

You guys and girls are missing out but have cheap petrol so probably less incentive to bring into market. I worked out that the TCO for a top model cx-5 (Ltd here) with 2.2d at 50,000 miles is the same cost as a 2.5 mid range petrol cx-5 (gsx here) with the difference in petrol costs. If you...

The 2.2d is really quite good, 6 speed auto works well with the torque. I see this years verson has released turbos for more torque and hp. Torque is almost double that of the 2.5 NA. Extra gearing not really required. Have they been released in the USA yet ?

With the replacement batter make sure it*s equiped with the same type. If it had an AGM type battery the alternator many cars are coded these days for type and capiciity. If you car was equipped with an agm and is replaced with a normal battery it will be getting over charged and will shorten...

New to the site, my first post. Have a 2017 2.2d gsx. This has seen our return to Mazda after a few decades. Also our first SUV. Basically my wife is the primary driver. We have a 5 year old daughter that's in a full child seat and wanted enough room for car seat and 4 adults for holiday time...
