    2019 CX-5 Signature, Seat discomfort?

    The thing that really puts me off of wanting to deal with Toyota is that they bundle packages and individual features into build types, and only distribute them to certain regions. If you're going to advertise a feature as being available, then it should be available anywhere without having to...

    Minus the bit about testing the effect of AC use (what are we, animals?) this pretty closely matches my experience.

    TURBO engine oil survey

    I realize that the 2.5T is under the theoretical BMEP threshold where LSPI becomes an issue, but all the same, I'd prefer to stick with SN+.

    My best tank yet was Kalamazoo to Walcott, Iowa. Sure one tank, filling at different pumps, isnt the way to gauge fuel economy, but 30.2 MPG was pretty cool.

    My guess would be that your problem is all the evasive maneuvers to avoid deer.

    Tire Pressure Monitoring

    No. Your TPMS sensors will fit any wheel with a J rim profile, and they may fit other rim profiles, too.

    Recall 3719F - Cylinder Deactivation Software Glitch

    I can feel the vehicle surge when the AC cuts in and out. Is that what is being interpreted as CD?

    2019 CX-5 Signature, Seat discomfort?

    Im 60, 290 lb, and the seat suits me just fine. Its not a question of body type.

    You wouldnt have. My city mileage is pretty abysmal. Thank God for long legs on the highway, though.

    TURBO engine oil survey

    While Im still under warranty, Im planning on using a Mazda OE filter and whatever SN+ rated oil is cheapest - likely Amazon Basics or Meijer store brand (same oil, different label). Once Im out of warranty, I may start worrying about better add packs for extended OCIs, but Ill still be using...

    Its not so much letting the oil cool down as it is letting the turbocharger cool down so that it doesnt cook the oil inside it when it stops.

    2019 CX-5 Signature, Seat discomfort?

    Nobody asked for my two cents, but here they are, anyway. I find that it might take a couple of tries to get myself situated in a comfortable position in my CX-5s seats, but once I do, theyre some of the best seats Ive ever had. Ive gone close to three hours without my butt leaving the...

    The scary part is that I bet this would provide 100% of the desired effect.

    New CX-9 Touring 2019 - Interior noises - Please Help

    To be clear - are they saying that the tint was physically causing the creaking? Or are they saying that disassembling then reassembling the interior door skin to install the tint is whats causing your issue?

    Minimum Wheel Diameter for Turbo Models

    Im guessing that this has been discussed before, but good luck coming up with search terms that dont return half the board... I know that the CX-5 Turbo models use a bigger front brake caliper. It doesnt surprise me, then, that Tire Rack specifies 17 as the minimum wheel diameter. Discount Tire...

    Hands on Wheel Warning

    I cant see the attachments on my phone, but when I try it on a desktop they open just fine. Working on the DMS camera for GMs Supercruise gave me a whole new appreciation for just how hard anything between SAE Levels 2 & 4 is going to be to implement safely. I said several times that drivers...
