I'll definitely share some photos soon. I am also planning to send those to the service center and independent body shops to know about the possible cause and options I have. If I go with a repair route, do I need to notify my insurance prior to that? @Heritage07 - definitely interesting to...

Hi, Recently I noticed that there are 4 small dents (dimples as defined by beepi.com) on my CX-5's bonnet. These are 4 in the center of the car and near to each other, as if in a pattern. No chipped paint but in the area, near these dents, usual dust was off as if someone touched/sit on it...

It is for my CX-5. Thanks deepfriedsushi to point out my profile needs an update.

Hi, Recently I noticed that I need more frequent (than my muscle memory from the past) steering corrections needed at a highway speed. These corrections are subtle to keep the car moving in the center of a lane. Is it fine because of EPS or could it be because of some alignment issue with the...

I looked at Ford Escape, Forester, CRV and CX-5. Opted CX-5 for: drive, looks, interior, and overall feel of the car. I found it to be closest to what I wanted from my car. I went for FWD GT w/ tech package and I personally liked the white/blue bright lights better than the yellow ones. I also...

1. Manual folding is fine but I was not sure about it either and didn't want to apply too much force to close those :). 2. I'll go ahead with the cover then. Thanks for your replies.

Nothing had worked so far. Day before yesterday I was cleaning interiors and found a dashboard panel near the windscreen not snugly fit. Applied some pressure to get a click and a better fit but now I have a car seat in the car which rattles like anything, so not sure if that worked :(.

Update from my side. All the observations faded away after a couple of days and I am back to lower mileage with usual sound (hope that I have not accustomed to the raised levels :P). This thread can official be closed now.

1) Can we close/retract side mirrors in CX-5 GT? Doesn't find info in favor of or against of it. 2) Is someone using Mazda Cargo cover, how is it rattle/noise wise? 3) I use a car seat which rattles a lot. Any workaround for that? 4) Has anyone used Mazda touch-up paint for door nicks, does...

Hi, I just filled up a tank full of gas at Costco. Instantly noticed that: - car was showing increased MPG by about 2mpg - engine sounds harsh, looks as if engine is holding to a lower gear longer or something similar as engine noise has increased Has anyone else experienced this? My car is...

2 cents from my side. I have not driven a Mazda6 but I have driven: - 2013 Focus for a month - 2014 Elanta for 2 months - 2013 Sonic for 15 days - 2015 Mazda 3 S GT for a test drive - other CUVs competing with CX-5 for a test drive I find my CX-5 GT to drive better than all the cars above...

Congrats and improvements look good over the prev generation.

Yes, I think options should be bundled in two/three: - functional tech features package (various safety features, infotainment ...) - appearance package (bigger wheels, moonroof, roor rail bars ..) - seating surfaces To be able to pick it individually would be awesome to pick what you care...

"Lighted power window/lock buttons on drivers door. Currently on the driver's window has a light." Missed this one initially and this is definitely needed.

I was thinking what are the features from other cars which could have benefited my CX-5's utility for my family. I am sure others also have the same list. Is there a way to pass this to Mazda folks :) 1) Powered tailgate like Escape, Forester and Jeep Cherokee 2) Reclining and sliding back seat...

Thanks guys, I'll try to play around with the visor in that case.

I bought a new GT this month and after a week I hear a minor rattling sound which seems to be coming from either the sunroof or the passenger side sun visor or the passenger side seat belt. It is clearly heard on 30-50mph but I can't determine the source or eliminate it. When I open/adjust...

Got two coupons from two dealers @ 39.95 and @ 49.95 for a synthetic oil change. It also mentions other related services: filter change, fluid top-up and multi point inspection but not sure if those are included in these prices.

Depends what is it being compared to but mostly a combination of appearance, handling and reliability worked for Mazda against close competition by CR-V (hated the looks and CVT), Escape (backseat looked cheap and reliability reports), and Forester (lost on looks and somewhat handling).

CX-5 owners: what are the scheduled maintenance cost for a year? I am trying to evaluate pre-paid maintenance v/s pay-per-visit. Please provide any data: last visit, maintenance type (minor/major, time/mileage interval etc), and any extra (apart form scheduled ones) maintenance done. Thanks.
