    Higher Mileage CX-5s

    Hey guys, Just curious who here has a higher mileage CX-5, and what problems/expenses have you incurred during those miles? My 19' GTR is under warranty, and I plan on keeping it for awhile, but am kind of wondering what I have to look forward to repair wise. However, I do know that the...

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    The CX-5 is nicer, but I think the RDX's SH-AWD has an upper edge over the Mazda's AWD system. However, I could totally be wrong.

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    I had a 2007 TSX - best car I’ve had so far! Mazda is moving up though!

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    Interesting! Yes, I thought it competed with the hire end luxury SUV’s. I’ve got to admit, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money over the CX-5! I’m happy I went with another Mazda!

    Rear Hatch Issue

    This is really weird, but I am having a weird issue with my rear hatch tonight. It's raining very hard, so maybe that's why, but when I go to open it, I hear "2 clicks' and then it just "stops" it won't open. I can manually open it by pulling it (hope I'm not breaking anything more so - it's...

    Mazda CX-5 Vs. Acura RDX

    Hey all, Just curious if anyone has driven a 3rd Gen 2019+ RDX? If so, what are your thoughts on it? My parents just got one, and although I think it's a sharp SUV, I honestly feel that my 19' GTR is just as nice inside and out. I know that the RDX is a class above, but honestly, for the...

    Brake Fluid Change Interval 2018 CX-5 FWD

    Just for what it's worth, I changed the brake fluid in my 2017 just short of 3 years (29k miles) before trading it in for a GT-R. I had to get new pads, and the fluid did look a little dirty, so I just told the dealership to go ahead and change it. I would say change it every 3 years just to...

    What mileage have you all been getting out of the stock tensioner before needing replacement in the Gen 2 CX-5's?

    SunTek vs. 3M (Front end film protection)

    I have 3M installed on my CX-5. I like it, and haven't had any issues with it lifting, peeling, etc. I would recommend getting PPF, just make sure that your paint is in pristine condition before you put the film on it. If not, you will have to live with swirls, etc.

    CX-5 Window tint

    Thanks, guys! I ended up picking up some new rotors. I figured that made the most sense after thinking about it.

    Brake Pad Replacement - Easy?

    Thanks for all of the info guys. So, I am going to do the pads/rotors today or tomorrow, and noticed that the rotors appear to be in decent condition. I am pretty sure I could save some money and have them turned. Has anyone done this vs. replacing them? If so, have you had good luck with...

    Brake Pad Replacement - Easy?

    Hi guys, I am going to replace the brake pads (or attempt to) on my nephews 2016.5 CX-5 GT. I have done brakes pads before, but wanted to make sure there's nothing "special" involved in replacing pads on a CX-5? I purchased some OEM pads, and rotors. Thanks all!
