    Everyone's Fuelly MPG seems very high compared to mine. :(

    Well, I am sure like yrwei52 says, probably not a ton of AWD in places like Texas, but up here in the Northeast, its the opposite. Just did a 150 mile search on the mazda website: 2063 CX-5s total but out of that only 2 FWD Sport Manual, 6 FWD Sport Auto, 2 FWD Touring Auto and no FWD GTs.

    Everyone's Fuelly MPG seems very high compared to mine. :(

    My wife and I are averaging 24.2 right now with mostly short city trips, with some longer highway trips mixed in averaging ~75MPH on a 2016 AWD.

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    Personally I found the Infinity Reference 3002CFX too harsh in the bose system, so hopefully you have better luck with those. My wife immediately said something like "why does this sound so bad". The system isn't balanced enough to counteract the added high notes. I ended up going back to the...

    I was going to use a pose-tap to tap into the front speakers to connect the PAC.

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    Am I correct in saying this: If I want to add a self powered underseat sub to an 2016 GT w/ Bose, then I could: Purchase Kenwood-KSC-SW11 Purchase PAC AOEM-MAZ2 Interface The kenwood can run from the extra accessory 15A fuse in the cabin, so no need to run anything to the battery. Even though...

    2016+ CMU 55.00.760A upgrade available

    Not sure if this is caused by 55.00.760A, iOS 9.3, or a Waze update, but whenever I have my phone hooked up with Bluetooth and try use Waze Nav and don't also have something like Spotify playing, the car treats all the Waze voice commands as phone calls. Is that right?

    Recall: Possible Loss of Steering Control

    So is this a legit recall, or only for people that notice the problem? Nothing is showing up on the Mazda site yet for my VIN.

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    So after using the infinity 3002 for a couple days, I take back what I said about it sounding better. It sounds a little too harsh for my liking. So my question is, people using the polk 351, do you find the tweeters harsh? I am wondering if I should try those or if replacing the rear door...

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    Anyone have any thoughts on rear door speakers on the bose system? I upgraded the fronts with the infinity 3002. Based on how much better it sounded, I was thinking of replacing the rear door and d-pillar speakers. The matching rear door infinity speaker is 5.25 inches but there are larger...

    Suggestions medium-term car storage over winter

    I need to leave my cx-5 at my parents house for about 4-4.5 weeks coming up in a few weeks and I am looking for suggestions on how to keep it from deteriorating too much from lack of use. We live in the North East, so its going to be cold. I am due for an oil change (based on months, not...

    2016 CX-5 Oil Change Frequency

    I live around Boston, drive a lot around the city on short trips (low miles, but high trips), its about to hit winter, basically the things in the list of reasons why you can't use Schedule 1. Once out of warranty, I wouldn't hesitate, but I am little concerned to do that now.

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    Would the speaker harness from the 6 also work on these models too? I am interested in putting in some polls, but would rather not splice wires.
