    Value of Sirius XM Traffic

    It's just OK. Waze with CarPlay is light years better.

    Rain sensing wipers - What am I doing wrong?

    Hmmmm..... My '19 GTR ---- I leave the wiper stalk on auto all the time with no issues. Only turn it off when going through a carwash.

    Mileage Too High?

    If the price of either maxes you out, don't do it. With that type of mileage, something is bound to crop up and need attention. If you can afford some small-midlevel repairs, go for it, assuming that the maintenance records are solid. Also, as someone else mentioned, a once-over by a...

    Turbo gas mileage on regular VS premium?

    Well, 91 is what MAZDA recommends, so mixing a fill of 93 with a few gallons of 87 remaining WILL give you full benefits. I've done the 87 vs 93 test several times now. I feel no difference in performance, but do notice that my '19 GTR idles much more smoothly with 93 than with 87. With 93...

    New CX-5 - When Should I really get my first oil change?

    IMO, an early first oil change is cheap insurance. It's probably a waste of $$$$, but to me, the comfort factor is worth the cost. When I purchase a brand new car, I do the first OC at 1,000mi. From there on, I follow the owners manual.

    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    I'd call him VERY UNLUCKY! Just because one pays for insurance, one should not be happy to have to use it!

    Radar Cruise Control

    Automation and advanced driver-assistance technologies are two very different things. One should not be confused with the other. I find the advanced driver-assistance technologies to be extremely helpful during my daily commute. I'm also of the belief that full automation would be a huge...

    Radar Cruise Control

    I love driving, but hate commuting. RACC does an amazing job of making my commute more bearable. Yes, it will bring my GTR to a complete stop as needed. Yes, it maximizes fuel efficiency. Yes, it keeps me from dealing with the stop & go traffic as I get closer to my office. Yes, it...

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

    Today's 4-cyl engines are being pushed to produce more and more power. I can only imagine that the added stresses of this will require engines to reach operating temperature to allow for full power output. Are you guys seeing this power shortage even after the vehicle is warmed up...

    How in God’s name do you disable the auto-folding mirrors?

    I've had my GTR for 367 days and have yet to have the mirrors freeze up and become a problem. Near Boston.......

    Car & Driver: Our Mazda CX-5 Turbo Deserves a Better Infotainment System

    The Mazda interface is terrible, but with CarPlay, I could care less. 99% of my travels are with CarPlay active. Waze and iHeart Radio. Would a bigger screen be nicer? Sure, but I'll survive. ;-)

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

    Just paid $2.43 an hour ago near my office outside of Boston. 93 was listed at $3.01. I'm perfectly happy with performance on 87.

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

    Maybe the answer is as simple as making headlights 100% automatic with: DRL during daylight hours (car engine running). When darkness approaches or when the wipers are on, all lights come on (engine running).

    Radar cruise control - slow down and lurch ahead

    If you step on the gas pedal, it will override the CC. I use my smart CC every day on my commute and have had zero issues, regardless of the traffic situation.

    It IS the indicator in my 2019 GTR.

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

    YES, there is an indicator light on the dash that lights up when your lights are all on.
