    What's your odometer reading?

    2016 with 71,000 miles. At 75,000 I'm going to change out the struts, shocks, spark plugs, cabin and air filters. Brake pads are still over 50% so at this rate they should go to at least 90K miles.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    My passenger side DRL started dimming and flickering. It's a 2016. Bad thing is I just turned 62K miles. I'll look at the headlight this weekend. Bad thing is I'm now out of warranty.

    Safe to replace one leaky tire at 3k?

    I would make sure it is the same tire brand and type too. Different brands and different types will drive differently.

    Fuel Economy

    With my 2016 GT I'm at 30.0 mpg (according to my monitor). However, 75% of my driving is highway. I noticed if I drive over 65 mph or it is very windy the mileage will go down. I've been tracking it for about 8,000 miles now. I keep my tires inflated to 36 psi cold too.

    Testament to Mazda safety

    I can also attest from personal experience our 2014 Mazda CX-5 (RIP) did it's job. A car made an illegal left hand turn in front of us. I only had time to brake for about 15 feet before we collided. We hit at about 45 mph. The car was totaled with the engine being pushed into the front firewall...

    Oil dilution

    Cold weather and short drive cycles can contribute.

    Go with the oem cargo tray. Fits great and is a quality product. I have had it on my 2014 and now 2016 CX-5's.

    Need Replacement Wheel Lock key

    Thanks all. That's what I just did. Took all of ten minutes. I just went ahead and bought four standard lugs from Autozone to replace them.

    Need Replacement Wheel Lock key

    I just purchased a used 2016 CX-5 GT that came with the factory wheel locks. I just took a look and I can't find the locking wheel lug key anywhere. Is it possible to just purchase a new wheel lock key? It appears the wheel lock lug set is Mazda part 0000-88-120D-BP. Can anyone confirm and is...

    Purchase Decision- 2016 or 2014 CX-5 Grand Touring

    I ended up buying the 2016 GT. The model upgrades from the 2014 sold me.

    Purchase Decision- 2016 or 2014 CX-5 Grand Touring

    Due to someone turning left in front of us and the result being our 2014 Touring being totaled we're in the market for another car. As we walked away from the impact of 45 mph I'm impressed enough with our CX-5 to get another one. I've narrowed it down to two choices: The first candidate is a...

    Bye Bye CX-5

    Thanks everyone. It was 100% the other parties fault as they made a left hand turn in front of us. Our insurance called me and said they are totaling out the car. The frame rails in back and even above the rear doors were bent. The car absolutely did it's job though. We have leather seats and...

    Bye Bye CX-5

    Two days ago a car decided to turn in front of us while we were traveling about 45 mph. I had no time to do anything except get on the brakes for about 15 feet before we collided. The airbags deployed including the side curtain ones. The engine ended getting pushed into the firewall and the back...
