Our 2018 CX5 (2.5 non-turbo US)) had a little of that sound when it was cold but it quickly went away when the engine warmed up.

So much BS from the dealer and extended warrantee company. How does maintenance prevent cracked cylinder heads? If you were to skip an oil change the heads crack? Thats a new one for me.

Glad its better! My suggestion is to get an accurate gauge. I use this one: https://amzn.to/47CO6lH And get an electric pump. I've had this one for years: https://amzn.to/3tEWQcP I check and adjust the pressure once a month and run our CX5 at 36 psi. Found that gives the best handling and ride.

I don't know....a few days ago with walked away with a 0% 60 month loan and got our CX5 Carbon Turbo for 3K less than the dealer was asking! They had the price 2K over MSRP for dealer extras. Knocked that off. Then we negotiated another 1K off the MSRP. But, they may have made money on our...

Also, now the 0% is over 36 months not 60 months like before 1/2/24

Yes, even though we removed the dealer extras, they filled it up before we left with it

Just a follow up. Rode on the Weatherpeak since my original post for 1.5 years and ~10K miles. They remained quiet and handled well. Unfortunately we just traded our 2018 CX5 for a 2024 CX5 Turbo and they come with those Toyo tires. Ug. Even new, they do not ride as well as the...

Have you checked your tire pressure with an accurate gauge?

Good to know!

Do you think that the extra $3,500 you saw was the extra cost for the car after adding in the cost of the loan interest paid over the payment period?

Just picked up a 2024 Turbo Carbon in Rhidium White Metallic with Terracotta Black Interior. Mazda MSRP 40,270. Dealer wanted to add another 2K for dent repair, wheel repair, full tank of gas, windshield repair. So total was 42,270. We removed the 2k dealer extras, and final negotiated price...

Lets hope my ebay card works too!

Good to know! I was looking in the manual! Nice that they tuned it to allow 87. So many car makers, such as the Germans, tune it where you are forced to use 93.

You are right, the more I drive it the more I like the HUD. And I saw that yesterday where the navigation from the phone was on the HUD. Cool! I did see how pushing the brightness knob in changed the dash. I selected the second one. Thanks for your suggestions!

Could be!

I've searched the manual and cannot find anything that states you improve performance with higher octane, and they just have a generic statement to use no less than 87. But as you stated, a google search shows higher HP with higher octane (~225-->~250HP when moving from 87 to 93) but only over...

Please let us know if your nav card works!

Thanks for all the help! I rechecked the car and the manual. In the rear seats center armrest that folds down they have 2 USB-A for charging only. In the center armrest up front, they have 2 USB-C (which I cannot even find in the manual) which appear to be for charging or music. I've ordered...

So for those with the turbo, any truth that using premium improves MPG?

My understanding is it started when Mazda added cylinder deactivation in 2018, which they still have in the NA 2.5 L engines today. (the turbo engines do not have cylinder deactivation)
