    Another bad camera rant thread

    I just spent a week in a cabin just outside Zion NP and I had to back down a 60-70 foot curved gravel driveway once or twice a day. My '19 GT-R's camera has no trajectory lines and I had absolutely no problem navigating the driveway from the very first time. I don't understand what info the...

    Why does the brake pedal stick out so much?

    Well actually, it does help. Getting your seat a little farther back and a little lower allows the leg to straighten out a bit and provides for more ankle flex to be able to lift your toe higher to pivot and clear the brake pedal easier.

    CX-5 Cabin air filter on Amazon?

    I just changed mine for the first time this past weekend. I used these carbon filters from Amazon, 3 for $17.45 Prime. Fit perfectly.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I slaved for 2 1/2 minutes to change out the cabin filter. Whew, I'm tired.

    '19 CX-5 Sig - Pros and Cons after 1yr of Owning first Mazda

    If you haven't adjusted the contrast and saturation in the camera settings, the backup camera's image can be made better than with the stock settings.

    '19 CX-5 Sig - Pros and Cons after 1yr of Owning first Mazda

    I have a '19 GT-R but only have 4000 miles on it in 11 months. I have the Soul Red and it has the same issues with small stone nicks. Otherwise it's been perfect, no issues, not enough drive time for the leather driver seat to show wear. I also have no issues with the backup camera resolution...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Low mileage on a car I've had for 10 months. Needed to be done in 2 more months anyway. I always get my first oil change done a bit early.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I have the 2.5L turbo. My manual states this: SKYACTIV-G 2.5T Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Mazda Genuine Oil is used in your Mazda vehicle. Mazda Genuine 5W-30 Oil is required to achieve optimum fuel economy.

    High maintenance on Turbo

    I'm wondering who among us who buys a $38,000-$40,000 car, worries about a small ~$4/month maintenance cost for spark plug replacement. I am not a wealthy individual, but that doesn't even rate as a minor concern. If you are in a financial situation where it would, why would you be buying a...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Took my '19 GT-R to a local garage for the first oil change at 3800 miles. I provided the OEM Taiwanese filter with crush gasket and they provided the 5W30 Mobile One full synthetic oil. I guess my CX-5 is a happy Mazda.

    2017~2025 Lane Keep and Lane Departure - Wild Inconsistencies

    I noticed inconsistencies as well, but after reading your thread, I tested on the way to work this morning. As you noted all gradual approaches to white or yellow lines caused a warning whereas a more sudden move did not. Thanks for solving this one, it was driving me nuts.

    Buying a new car and having it shipped

    Apparently, $500 is worth more to you than it is to otherother people. For me, I spent hours over 5-6 days negotiating with 6 dealers via email. In the end, I could have driven 4 hours each way to save $500, but no way was I going to do that. Even if they had offered to get it to me for free, I...

    New infotainment system 2021 Mazda CX-5

    I still haven't figured out why any one needs a screen that big. The one on my 2019 is more than sufficient to do all the the tasks necessary. Those larger screens just look tacky IMHO.
