    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    If the guy also found a new use for tailpipes, we'd appreciate your keeping the pics to yourself ;)

    Edmunds "Best SUVs for 2020" article

    Yeh, I get what you meant. But Edmunds never mentions it anywhere that I've seen. I only see it in forum comments. Makes me wonder if Consumer Reports ever mentions it. I believe they have long-term reliability ratings that should pick up stuff like this.

    Edmunds "Best SUVs for 2020" article

    Buzzman, you made me go back and read Edmunds' long-term road test of a 2017 CR-V from April 2017-Sept 2019. (I could find no long term road test of a later model CR-V.) They have up to 20 staff members drive the car whenever they want and gather comments from the log books...these do take into...

    Edmunds "Best SUVs for 2020" article

    I have yet to see an Edmunds review (or anyone's review) of the CX-5 that was not gushing. I used to watch them over and over when I was shopping in 2018. I'll have to go back and watch reviews of the other Mazda SUVs and see what they have to say. I wonder if Edmunds has reviewed the CX-30...

    The Dynamic Pressure Turbo is definitely a unique design. I would never have thought about its effect on sound at the tailpipe.

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I had my car serviced early last month (oil change, tire rotation.) I asked them to update the software for me, as long as it was in the shop anyway. The scheduler told me not to expect the update to fix my XM issues. We'll see...

    Mazda provides support to U.S. healthcare workers!

    Where did he get this? That's pretty fast!!! As I stated, my dealer's still in the 'What's this all about?" phase.

    Mazda provides support to U.S. healthcare workers!

    What a great thing to do! And it keeps their staff employed. The "Paint & Interior Protection Plan" my dealer tried to sell me came with twice-yearly detailing @ $50 each, and they did them in-house. So they got all the stuff right there to do this. I know a few folks who work at...

    Any way to stop contacts loading?

    I'm hoping it might also make boot-up less buggy, since there's one less thing hitting the CPU at startup.

    Awkward Reflection

    The loaner was a CX-9. That setup might have made a difference. It was right in my face like a projected picture, distracting from the image in side view mirror. Even when I look for it in my CX-5, I can't always see it. And it's rarely so vivid in my car as to be annoying. So have you...

    Awkward Reflection

    Welcome to the forum. You want a list of other things to not see? Hmmmm????? ;) If it makes you feel better, that vent reflection does not show in all lighting conditions. I had my car (2019 GT Reserve) for a year before noticing it, and that was only after driving a loaner where it was very...

    Yeh, it was a '59 Bugeye Sprite. I bought it in '73 or '74. Came with a factory hardtop but no rag top. Cost of car: $500 1st JC Whitney Order: $600 I got a drive train out of a later model Midget and upgraded to the 1098CC engine. Also replaced the front end with disc brakes. I drove that...

    Any way to stop contacts loading?

    Check out this Mazda Connect page. One would think you could turn this off at the same location. I'm glad you asked. I don't change my contacts that often and will turn this off now I know how. There are instructions on how to do a Manual update on that page as well.

    Welcome, zman. I, too, own a 2019 GTR. My first Mazda...wish I had discovered the brand before. Have you seen this series of comments on the Corksport Short Ram Intake for your GTR? Discussed here as well. It's made my short-list. Glad you joined. See you around...

    Car and Driver

    Yup. I have places that I drive in Manual Mode, but it's unsatisfying. Until recently I had a 1990 Volvo 740 with a manual 4 speed and electric 5th gear overdrive. I'm in the country and loved driving that thing down these winding roads. On the other hand, the automatic in my CX-5 has likely...

    “Oil service required” Light malfunction on ‘19 Signature

    I agree, except that the OP's issue is with his 2019 Signature. It sure gets complicated, don't it?
