I agree. What evidence is there to support the need? Even grandpa necessitated supplemental cooling, because he was hauling a trailer or using it for heavy duty. Not many CX-5s are seeing heavy duty use, nor do they typically pull trailers... Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I've always felt my wife's CX-5 gets a little overwhelmed in North Texas heat. Right now, I've got two other vehicles in my garage, and the CX-5 has unfortunately been evicted to the drieway. 105 ambient temps lately, and it gets sweltering in the interior. Using my infrared thermometer, I've...

Hahaha! Boy, well said. Chassis of old suck terribly. My Buick and Chevy are both like driving a stick of butter down the road. Many folks observe great advencements in things like tech and drivetrain components. The unsung hero of advancements in the industry has been chassis engineering, with...

^Must be nice. My latest tint went terribly. Still needs resolve. Definitely not laser cut. Looks like it was cut by Michael J Fox. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I love my wife's. It's been a great vehicle. Nearly 3.5 years in, just about to roll over 50k miles, with no unscheduled service. Have to admit, if Mazda does right with the CX-9, I'll be replacing the CX-5 with one. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It looks like a glorified jellybean. I can't imagine having a pair of those. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

That looks very similar to their systems used on the MS6 and CX-7, even down to the control loop and clutch pack. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

The difference of course being the equivalent of an efficient toaster oven for a road car, compared to a vehicle crafted with passionate engineering, and the ultimate goal being driving experience. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Almost certainly "transfer" refers to the front unit, and "differential" applies to the rear. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

My wife's 13 does it. It's slightly annoying, but doesn't bother me much. It isn't just the seat back, but the entire assembly. I have to buy into the notion that it is related to the motorized mechanisms, as it is only an occurrence with the driver side, and not on the passenger in her Touring...

That has been talked about for years, but this is the first time I'm hearing of Fiat being a candidate. Afterall, Mazda has entered into partnership with Toyota... Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Raises a good point. But, even if you don't consider burning it for energy as recycling (which, I suppose it technically isn't), it is definitely repurposing it. It IS, at least, reducing ground water contamination. I am ignorant of the fact, but I would hope there are some restrictions for...

No, in fact, I consider Mazda's Active Driving Display (lazy attempt at HUD) to be a nuisance. And paddle shifters add virtually nothing to driving experience. Though, the sweet little Skyactiv transmission certainly compliments paddle shifting. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Like TJ mentioned, there's been complaints about dye transfer from clothing. And...it's nearly white. It's absolutely going to show more filth than a darker color. That said, it looks gorgeous. I'd have had it in my 3, but with having kids...I couldn't bear the thought of a multicolored rear...

The performance variant's abysmal failure in Le Mans must have damaged their pride. Lmao I think the oil burner would be nice as an option. But, if there is any question regarding reliability, save it. Mazda seems to finally be on the uptick with American consumers, in regards to reliability and...

Agreed. OCI is kind of "overlooked" by conservationists. Although, most if not all oil is recycled. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

No, I believe the newest thing now is acoustic glass. But, I suppose making them lighter in weight and with lower noise transmittance has also made them more susceptible to damage under fairly normal operating conditions... Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Funny. The original windshield in both my 67 Buick and 72 Chevy, with 230,000 miles shared between them, is scant a crack. Of course there is merit to these claims. Mike would have you believe it is a total sensationalized fabrication. Sure, windshields fracture. Yes, environment and...

I haven't been in here for a while, but thought I'd note, this issue isn't only Mazda's - numerous other automakers are experiencing problems with "fragile" glass. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Mazda has improved their back up camera exponentially over the past few years. The camera in my wife's 2013 CX-5 isn't so great overall, and I agree that the LED plate illuminators I transitioned to do in fact interfere slightly in dimly lit areas at night. I have the same set of LEDs on my new...
