A few years back when we had our 2014 CX5 a girl made a left turn in front of us while we were doing 45 mph. The engine was pushed into the firewall and the "frame" was bent. However, I walked away with only a cut on my arm from the air bag and my wife had a hernia from the seatbelt. Other than...

122K miles on our 2016 GT. To date other than maintenance items we haven't had to put a dime into it. Still runs and drives like new. Very impressed with Mazda.

As others have said highway miles are much easier on the car and oil than stop and go city miles. I've heard it may be a 3:1 ratio. With that said I will still adhere to Mazda's oil change recommendations. I change the oil and filter in our car every 5K miles. With 122K miles on the odometer...

IF the battery was completely dead it may run rough for a while until it charges up. The car is relying 100% on the alternator. I would first charge the battery up completely - assuming it will take a charge and then if it's the culprit get it replaced right away. If you take it to Autozone...

We use 0-20W. We're now at 120K miles. It uses half a quart every 5000 miles. I change the oil every 5K too. For most of it's life our 2016 CX5 didn't use any.

Did you have to gap the plugs? If you did then how did you do it? Some people use a feeler gauge to gap the plugs. If you do the electrode tip will be damaged and they'll fail in a few thousand miles. There's another issue with "fake" spark plugs out there too.

When I did the drain and fill at 50 and 75K miles I replaced 3.5 quarts of fluid. At 105K I dropped the pan and replaced the filter too. On that service I did replace almost 6 quarts of fluid.

The great thing about this car is it still handles well, no rattles and has been completely reliable.

We actually drive the car pretty easy most of the time. In it's 119K lifespan the first 105K miles were 80% highway. Now my wife uses the car to drive back and forth to school and it's about 30 miles a day round trip more stop and go. Still averaging 28 mpg at least on the display.

I think 6 quarts was it for what would drain out. I would not do a power flush. Puts a lot of stress on the seals. The fluid was a brown color when I changed it. There were no particles in the tranny pan when I pulled it which was good.

I did a drain and fill at 50K, 75K and then pulled the pan and changed the filter at 105K. From memory I got about 3.5 or so quarts on the drain and fills out. When I pulled the pan and then the old filter and let it drain overnight I think I got closer to 6 quarts. I got the filter from Rock...

119K trouble free miles on our 2016 CX5 GT. Other than normal maintenance items have never put a dime into it. Still runs and drives great. I haven't taken it in for the headlight recall since my daylight running lights still work great. Maybe someday.

What are the specific code(s) it's throwing?

Found the reason why. On the Mazda they are True Contact not Cross Contact. Still very happy with them.

No idea. I just looked at the sidewall and didn't see either LX20 or LX25 marked on it. It's possible it's on the inside of the tire though.

I've got a set of Continental Cross contacts on our CX-5. Very happy with them so far. I have 18,000 miles on the set and they are quiet, grip and handle well. No complaints about them at all.

I did a drain and fill at 50 and 75K miles. At 110K I dropped the pan, replaced the filter and refilled. On the basic drain and fills I got maybe 4 quarts max. On the pan drop it was closer to six. The car now has 118K miles o it.

Our 2016 GT now has 118K trouble free miles on it. Other than maintenance and a couple recalls it has been rock solid. It still drives and handles great too.

In the past we've owned 2 BMW 335i's and one 535i. At around 70K miles if you keep them that long be prepared to get your wallet out often and pay a lot. Our neighbor has an Audi A5 and it's even worse. Our 2016 CX5 GT has over 117K miles on it. Other than maintenance items haven't put a dime...

I agree. Mercedes is overpriced, expensive to fix and trouble prone as they age.
