    91 vs 93 octane and GT-R/Sg trim CX-5

    Interesting, I didnt even realize Mazda stated 93 was needed for max power on the turbo. Here and in other states 91 is already considered "premium".

    91 vs 93 octane and GT-R/Sg trim CX-5

    Not surprised by your results, usually beyond 91 octane will not yield worthwhile results due to factory tuning.

    2019 GX (Canada) - cylinder decativation

    Probably a result of the computer being reset to default values after the update. After some prolonged driving the car will adjust fueling parameters based on how its driven.

    2019 GX (Canada) - cylinder decativation

    No issues with my wife's 2018 CX5 or my 2019 CX5. Both have CD and are excellent engines. Out of the hundred of thousands of these engines built a very small number required replacement. The issue was narrowed down to a programming update and remedied and since that time I havent seen much about...

    A presumed safety item that isn't safe - daytime running lights

    9 times out of 10, its a Nissan Rogue driving with only the LED light bars on, rest of car is fully dark. Cannot tell you how many times I've seen this happen, almost ALWAYS a Nissan Rogue. There is something seriously messed up, either the drivers are fooled by seemingly brightness of their...

    Winter is here and my CX-5 Turbo is now a 2.0L!

    I'm sure this is a known issue to Mazda engineering. Heck Dave Coleman has responded directly to an unflaterring test of the AWD system on the CX9 a couple years ago by a YouTube reviewer. If enough buzz was generated, I'm sure some type of answer can be found.

    2017~2025 Hood Lift Struts Installed

    Question, are there any CX5's that use hood struts from factory perhaps in other countries? These pictures posted literally look like a factory install.

    Optimal cruising MPG

    Finished up first couple tanks on my new to me preowned 2019 GT. Both tanks averaged just over 30 mpg, right in line with what my wife sees on her 2018 Touring. In every Mazda I've owned in recent years with the 2.5L (2016 Mazda 6 GT (I-eloop), 2018 CX5 Touring (CD), 2019 CX5 GT (CD)) we have...

    Is Mazda's upcoming CX-30 on your shopping list?

    Sat in one at the dealership while wifes 2018 CX5 was being serviced. It was a mid trim model without sunroof. Interior quality is very nice, I found the visibility out more cramped then a CX5 (didn't like how closed in the side windows were). Height wise its very sedan like, I'm 5'7 and can...

    Feedback/concerns/review on Pirelli p7 all season Plus!

    P7's are on tirerack listed as (closeout). They include a $160 discount. Total for 4 tires was less then $350. IF you are near a pickup location they discount an additional $40 off. That is crazy cheap for a full set of P7's.

    GT-R 2019 - Can't drive with only parking lights on?

    My former 2016 Mazda6 GT had the accent lightbars active even in the "auto" setting, too bad on the 2nd gen CX5 its disabled when the DRL is turned off and the headlights aren't in use.

    SkyActiv-X may not reach US shores

    Good information, I now see why the concern about bringing the skyactive-X over here. Sounds like the tried and true 2.5L is still the best option.

    SkyActiv-X may not reach US shores

    This makes 0 sense again. If the engine is more fuel efficient and makes same power as the current 2.5L, what's the problem? They have already cut costs by changing their rear suspension on the new 3 and cx-30, something I thought might be used to offset the Skyactive-X engine going forward...

    2019 Signature Windshield Replacement - what do I need to know?

    Just FYI the cracked windshield on my former 2016 Jeep Renegade with heated wiper/rain sense was priced at over $800 list price!!! Go through insurance but insist on OEM (mine gave the the choice of aftermarket or OEM, since I was not paying I went OEM)

    Automatic Seat & Wheel Warmers 2019 CX-5

    Not possible. Even states in the manual that the heated seat setting will reset to OFF once the car is but down. The heated seats in my wifes 2018 remain on the last setting before car was shut off, apparently a change was made begining in 2019.

    Cylinder Deactivation

    Wow huge exaggeration comparing CD to the 737 Max which has killed hundreds of people. The CD issue with programming has been resolved, the initial reports of problems were few and resolved under warranty. My wifes 2018 CX5 has been rock solid reliable with 33k miles on it and I just purchased...

    2020 Jan map available...

    I just purchased a used 2019 GT, in the glovebox I found the original SD card zip lock bag, a dealership technician noted he installed it and acknowledged it with a signature. My guess its installation is part of the delivery/sale process. Also we bought an eBay SD card for my wifes CPO 2018...

    2020 MSRP vs 2019 MSRP

    Regular GT also lost this feature. I posted about XMtravelink in the infotainment thread, IMO it should have been standard since 2017. Its integrated into the stock NAV and gives traffic functions which were previously missing and irked alot of people. For those not familier, it is different...
