I've only found that the one HD AM station around here sounds really tinny when it switches on the HD. It gets louder too when it switches to HD. I always hit the HD button to turn it off on that station. On the FM stations they sound great to me when in HD. But the signal does drop quite a...

In an early survey I received it asked if connecting a phone through bluetooth was enough or if I a USB port was required. I specified that I wanted a USB port and actually got a one question followup survey about it. It was encouraging to me at the time that they were considering it because...

There's probably some irony being able to type that into a tiny box and having it instantly spread through computers, phones etc across the world.

I've had it down to 10 miles over zero range and the most I've ever gotten in on a fill-up is just under 13 gallons. I've had it read 434 for range just after a fill-up but it depends on what type of driving I was doing before the fill. I'm not sure how far back it looks for the...

I've seen a lot of manufactures list 1 quart every 1000 miles as 'normal'.

I've got one of these window roll up modules: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0040PY2DC/?tag=m20b7-20 that I never installed in my last car and would love it if there was a trigger wire somewhere in the keyless system I could tap into for it. I keep coming back to the car to find I've left one of the...

anyone know what was going on with the numbered and logo'd CX-5s in that?

I used the tools from Harbor Freight that someone else mentioned on here before: http://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-auto-trim-and-molding-tool-set-67021.html the forked ones slide around the pins to pry them out. I managed not to break any, which was a first for me.

Phrases like "void the factory warranty" get thrown around a lot. Dealers like the sound of it because it does tend to scare people. What they should say is "this item is backed by Mazda and your factory warranty, unlike an aftermarket item". An aftermarket add-on can only cause a warranty...

I think the white smoke in the videos is just the sea foam burning, the little blasts of black smoke are the deposits. I lit some sea foam on fire one time and it burned with a white smoke. Like you said it does make for a good show and the people in the videos get awful excited about all the...

That is where mine is the most noticeable and it seems like it shouldn't move there as that is right at the hinge. Although I guess if the structure of the center of the hood is compromised it could put more stress on the edges. Which is my main fear that it isn't just a cosmetic problem but...

I was really surprised when I peeked under the panel back there that there was nothing at all between the metal and the plastic for sound. It seems like a well designed echo chamber for road noise.

if I remember correctly every 10 db is twice as loud so 6 would be quite noticeable. In the video are they actually driving or just revving the engine? From what I've read the mat type stuff they used is mostly for improving the quality of the sound from high powered sound systems in the car...

I pulled the dipstick on mine at about 19,000 miles and the fluid on it looked like brand new so I just bolted the dipstick back in place and left it.

This is the first car we've had that had a separate button for fresh and recirc. Usually it is just a recirc button that lights up when that is on and doesn't light up when it is off and fresh air is coming in. Like on the Mazda3...

that finally explains why ours almost looks like there would be a place to store it but there isn't room.

I like the fact that the hatch lifts the cover out of the way when putting stuff in or taking stuff out of the hatch area. That way you don't have to retract it or reach back under it to get at things. In the 8 months I've had mine I think I've unclipped it twice. And I rarely even notice...

It seems pretty loud to me too. From what I've seen the main complaint is it isn't low enough. Does it only have a single horn from the factory rather than the dual horns of larger cars? Does the 6 have two horns? Compared the the hella supertone horns it still seemed pretty good...

The CX5 didn't need it when we got it but the Mazda3 really needed it when we got it home. Neither spent long on the dealer lots but the 3 really had a lot of bonded contaminants that you could easily feel on the paint after washing. It was a night and day difference after claying it. The...

Yep, in the old carburetor days the engine sucked the gas in along with the air so if it couldn't suck as much air the engine ran rich as it got less air and increased the suction on the gas. The same principle as a choke on most cars with carbs where a plate would block off a large portion of...
