Got my winter tires changed out for my all-seasons a couple weeks ago. Was a bit late to it because the house got COVID at the beginning of May. Anyway, once again, Discount Tire broke off one of my studs, this time on the driver side, rear wheel hub. This happened a couple years ago too. They...

I did, albeit slightly late per the schedule in terms of mileage. I forget exactly what it was now, but was anywhere between 122-125k, and had hit the 10 years at that point. This would have been a bit over a year ago now.

Really love to see this. At 135k miles on my 2014.

It absolutely can be a 2.5L 2014. Mine has a build date of 01/2013 for example.

Oh I am sure. It was much faster than I am used to driving though so had fun with that. But otherwise, ugly car on the outside imo and I would change some things on the interior.

I had a trip for a wedding this past weekend and they gave me an Audi A5 Sportback for the rental. I don't like how the car looks, but I gotta say, it sure was fun to drive! 🤣

Good man!

Yeah, seems a bit pricey and looks like it secures to the window itself which would be problematic for rolling it down for him. EDIT: Oh no, I see the securing mechanism now. Could work, but agreed the price is a bit high.

Hi all, 2014 CX-5 Touring with cloth seats. Seen some great option for seat covers, but just wondering if anyone has experience with door covers / protectors? I have a small dog (about 15 lbs) who gets secured in the backseat via a strap that connects to the seat belt buckle. When he wants to...

I really need to do this.

Switched insurance companies. Current had the audacity to raise my rates again, but this time close to $60/mo in terms of a price hike and there was no way I was paying $268/mo for an 11 year old car. Shopped around and found better coverage with lower deductibles ($500 collision, $750...

Yep, this isn't some specialty exotic car.

New battery install last night. Old battery started corroding at the terminals, so needed to clean those up too. It was reaching 6 years old and was not holding a charge anymore much past a day or two leading to very slow cranking or not enough power to start the car, so was time to change. Got...

Did they change it then? See earlier Gen 2's.

The gen 2 grill has grown on me, but I still don't care for how the hood overhangs it and it still has a massive piece of chrome on it vs the Gen 1 which is not my thing. But hey, that's just me. I'd like Mazda to go back to their Kodo design. Think they have lost the plot lately with their...

I've always maintained that from the external look department, Gen 1 CX-5 > Gen 2 CX-5. Not at all to say that the Gen 2's aren't clearly the nicer cars, but I don't know, too much chrome added and I don't like how they changed a lot of the lines the Gen 1 had.

Really like seeing these north of 250k CX-5's. I really see no reason why mine can't go at least another decade if not longer at my current mileage rate.

2014 CX-5 Touring AWD - I do not have the technology or the Bose/moonroof package. Purchased new in April 2013. Getting close to 133k miles now. Only repairs out of the ordinary for me: Belt tensioner went bad (this is a common problem item for many) Shift actuator went bad (early model...

Nice! I might try those next time just to get a feel. Overall I am pretty happy with my Continental VikingContact 7's. I will say they are not as grippy as the Blizzaks, which I think is to be expected given they don't have the super soft compound on top of regular winter compound like the...

PBO might give you better single core scores due to higher single core boosts, but the best scores for CB R23 multi-core will come from just doing the highest all-core OC you can get (limit being your cooling). That's how I got 24k on my 5900X while PBO+CO was at best giving me 22-23k. That...
