    You can turn off the autofold mirror then they will not fail. All new cars have to have water based paints and are not as durable as older cars due to paint regulations. You can put coating on front to protect paint...

    New 2020 or 2021 CX-5?

    I set the seat memory to the key fob so that my seat position moves when I press the unlock door button, likewise when my wife unlocks the car it moves to her position. Check your owners manual for how to do it if your car has seat memory. The mirrors are large enough that their position does...

    Engine braking while coasting

    I do not think your hybrids use gas engine braking very much as that would be waisted. They want to recapture as much energy with regenerative braking as possible so when you apply the brakes as much energy as possible is captured with the electric motor which runs in generator mode and the...

    Disable Cylinder Deactivation

    I have set cruise at 75 mph and going down a slight hill it will switch to 2 cylinders if the grade is the ideal load for 2. I agree that when it shows all four off it is fuel cut mode for the last 2 but I do not know if the first 2 still have the valves closed...

    Anyone attempt wheel installation/balancing/alignment themselves?

    I have not done the CX5 but have done alignment on my Corvette myself. I used cord stretched over the center of the tire to the front and rear of the car to an exact cord square to the car that I set up. I calculated and measured the toe at the tire/wheel and set it to speck. Also did the...

    Trying to decide, spend the extra $3K to buy the Grand Touring Reserve with turbo engine?

    The cylinder deactivation feature had a programming problem when it first came out but I have not seen any complaints on the 2020s or late 2019s. It closes off 2 of the 4 cylinders when under very light load to save a little fuel, mine works fine and it is very hard to know when it is active...

    Trying to decide, spend the extra $3K to buy the Grand Touring Reserve with turbo engine?

    I am 75 and picked the GT with Premium over the turbo, I have a corvette I don't drive much any more. Its less expensive to buy and operate and has plenty of power. Be sure to consider the Heads Up Display, Ventilated Seats, Auto folding mirrors so you can tell it is locked, Heated steering...

    2013~2016 Dealer suggested services - advice needed

    I have heard of dealers putting oil on shocks to prove they are bad. Wipe them clean and see if oil reappears. If your tires wear more on the inside or outside then alignment is justified. Your - wont shut off - is likely the switch that is on the shift leaver to tell the computer it is in park...

    2020 GT Right Blind Spot Works 1/3 of time

    Around Atlanta interstates if you depend on the light/buzzer only and pull in front of a fast moving car, you are going to get honked at, fingered and maybe shot. Mazda has installed three different BSM systems per the service info and the most recent one is the least desired for my driving. I...
