    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    Car companies long ago figured out how to make this work without damaging your turbos. 60 seconds at a light isn't going to cause any damage.

    Disable daytime running lights?

    Not sure why you quoted me Moonlighter? I am very familiar with them. In fact I thought my car had them when I bought it because of that very video from Mazda Aus. That was 2016. We still don't have it here. :(

    I know what those marks are on the headliner. They are from bike tires. People hauling bikes in the back. Ask me HOW I know. :D Also someone said NO to plugs? Uh...pretty sure Mazda says plugs every 70K?

    Oh, and tips: - Get a Nav card off of Amazon or eBay. Even if you don't use it, it's nice for the cross road feature. - If you are on a FM/AM radio station, push and hold the * (Favorite button) to add that station to your favorites.

    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    Just want to comment on the confusion about 16.5 - the changes were so ridiculously minor on the .5 it truly surprises me that Mazda chose to differentiate it. It was just a few items that were moved to STANDARD instead of OPTIONS. Example a 2016.5 Sport is different from a 2016: because it...

    How to stop worrying and trust adaptive cruise control?

    Had the same anxiety in the beginning. (Note on my Volvo...don't have on my Mazda). I absolutely love it but you've got the right answers here: If you're not comfortable in a situation then you shouldn't be using it. And there are still times a year later where I will be coming up on stopped...

    2017 CX-5 GT have a remote start or remote start app?

    There are plenty of aftermarket Remote Start options for that 17 CX5. Just find a local Car Installer near her. No there isn't anything from Mazda, but PLENTY of aftermarket ones I assure you. They are very aftermarket remote start friendly as they were in 16...when I got mine. :D
