    New (to me) 2022 CX-5 owner with wheel question

    In my experience, it's nearly impossible to get a dealer to make wheel substitutions on a purchase, let alone a lease! Have the dealer run the VIN through the parts computer and it will tell you what came on the car.

    Low coolant 2021 CX-5 GT

    New Mazda "blue" Paint

    When the MY2013 CX-5 was introduced in 2012, I rushed right out and bought one in the 'signature' Sky Blue Mica color. That color was only in the palette for a couple of years and it surprises me to this day how few I see on the road. It was, for its time, a spectacular color to my eye, but...

    Can We Still Trust Japanese Car Manufactures Especially on Safety and Reliability?

    Then I suggest you don't stake out a position here. Especially one that all bureaucracies fall back on when it becomes painfully obvious to everyone that they're incapable of performing their job. The answer is always "just throw more money at the problem".😣

    Can We Still Trust Japanese Car Manufactures Especially on Safety and Reliability?

    Keep in mind that Japanese industrial scandals aren't always as clear cut as they're made out to be. Remember the Carlos Ghosn/Nissan debacle? The symbiotic relationship between the government and large corporations really muddies the water in many of these incidents.

    High pitch noise when turning off car (2021 Mazda CX-5)

    I'd suggest you try to record it again. I turned my speakers up all the way and couldn't hear any distinguishable noise!

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I’ve always wondered why people put those things on their cars. Seem to be more popular in certain areas of the country, but I never really saw the point.😕

    2024 CX-5 Skips/lurches

    Have you driven a Mazda with CD? While there's an outside chance this that engine might not be quite as smooth in operation as one without CD, it can in no way be characterized as one that "jumps/skips/lurches".
