    What did you trade-in for your '17 or '18?

    Traded in a 2016 touring cx5 for a 2017 GT. Night and day difference between those two models. If I had a 2016 GT I would not have done the trade but Im completely in love with the 17

    If you could change one thing...

    Probably although Ive been driving cars with sunroofs for 13 years and I have never had a single issue with one be it mechanical or otherwise. The only time Ive had issues is when I forget to shut it

    Steering wheel peeling in 2016

    Soft of off topic but I knicked my steering wheel a bit with my nail, its really small but I can feel it sometimes when holding the wheel and Im wondering if theres some kind of product I can buy to fix it either by sanding it or applying some solution or whatever

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    i think it's mostly alcohol based, the packet doesn't specify. I'm actually convinced it's the wipes that caused it now. I'm guessing my previous cx5 used a different coating, and perhaps on this car it took a few wipes to finally cause the damage. i'm dumb for using alcohol on this screen, a...

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    that sucks. i was prepping it for a screen protector too. i know i should have just stuck with a microfiber. I'm guessing dealer won't fix it under warranty then, but I'm not sure why it just happened suddenly since I've been using these wipes for a while

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    This is very weird and I can't explain how it this happened because I only ever wipe my infotainment screen with legitimate screen/lens wipes that I've used on my last cx5 a bunch and a few times already on my new one. But somehow I looked at my car this morning (i didn't notice if it happened...

    Worth the upgrade?

    i haven't been in really windy situations with the gen2 cx5 but as an owner of gen 1 (2016) and gen 2 (2017), they made vast amounts of improvements to NVH that it's honestly the biggest change besides the design between the two gens. In gen2 they added seals everywhere, and even when there were...

    Worth the upgrade?

    OP I was literally in the same position you're in. I also have 2 kids in car seats (ages 4 and 2). I bought a 2016 Touring and liked it, but wasn't in love with it since all my other cars had leather, automatic climate control, moon roof, heated seats and such. Before I had the cx5, my last car...

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    I think you meant grand touring but the dealer should cover it under warranty. Contact your countries Mazda customer support and they will speak to dealer to cover cost. At most you should pay is $35. The dealer you work with sounds shady that sucks

    2014 CX-5 GT owner thinking of buying a new one -- anyone done that?

    I went from a 2016 Touring to a 2017 GT. The difference between these models is huge. For me it was worth it for the leather seats, automatic headlights and wipers, and the automatic dual climate control alone, not to mention the host of other features the 2017 offers. I dont know for sure but...

    lack of proper maintenane yet sold CPO, really???

    in order for a mazda dealership to sell a car as a "CPO" they have to have their master mechanic sign off on a 160 point inspection https://www.cstatic-images.com/image/upload/v1479143413/cpo/inspections/mazda-inspection.pdf I don't think they care about the service history--they look at the...

    2014 CX-5 GT owner thinking of buying a new one -- anyone done that?

    I went from not really enjoying my 2016 Touring to absolutely loving my 2017 grand touring. The differences between these two cars is staggering. I could drive 1,000 miles a day in this car and be happy Im absolutely in love with it Also OP theres no foot mechanic for opening the lift gate. You...

    2017~2025 Gen 2 Fang LEDs as DRL

    yea this is disappointing for me as well, especially when you look at the CX9 even in the US which has much brighter LED drls and the headlight doesn't run in conjunction with it. Not sure why they changed it for the CX5 when it worked so well for the CX9 the DRLs look amazing at night but in...

    2017~2025 Official Mazda Accessories Installation By A Mazda Technician

    very cool. didn't expect those trim pieces to make that much of a difference but they do. also lol @ 8:29 the mazda logo projected onto the ground xD. I do like the interior illumination kit as well.

    Survived a blizzard. Thank you, Mazda!

    lol a blizzard to 60 degree weather. that's pretty common here in MA too xD. There is definitely a huge comfort factor to owning an AWD vehicle in the snow and I think Mazda has one of the better AWD systems. I'm tempted to buy a nice set of snow tires for my cx5 next year. I bought my 17 cx5...

    Wax and clear coat

    only 6k miles on my 2017 cx5 (black) and there's one paint chip already on my hood. I definitely need to invest in some wax but I'm not good at doing anything to cars lol i'm afraid I'll **** it up, plus I'll need to buy a buffer so I wonder if I should just pay someone to do it for me

    CD Player

    good to know that works. i would imagine it won't work that well unless it's mounted though, given road bumps and whatnot. just curous as to why you didn't want to use a usb drive? flash memory--smaller profile.
