    Window switches on 2018

    yeah the 17 only has the driver, maybe passenger too not sure, definitely not the rear windows though.

    The unreliable Mazda ?

    agree, and miles aren't 1:1 even with the same make/year vehicle. owner A could be highway traveling 90% of the time and put 200k on their vehicle and owner B could be traveling on hilly terrain in stop and go traffic and put 200k on their vehicle and which one do you think will make it to 300k?

    Can you remove LED DRL fuse on 2016 CX5 GT - Very disappointed in Mazda

    damn unlucky repairs, that's not normal. the DRL failing is. Mazda canada might be able to help you, it's a known issue. A lot of the 16cx5 GTs I see on the road have the new dot matrix LEDs because of how unreliable the DRLs on the 16s are. The new versions are much more reliable, but output...

    How useful are the 2017 GT fogs?

    I really have to wonder what goes into the reason different markets have sometimes widely different variations of features or specs I know in this case it's regulations that caused it but what about power folding mirrors? xd

    Saw this on a CX-5 today at Costco

    This gives Mazda owners a bad name. I absolute hate these things. My wife agrees even. Anyone who uses these things needs serious mental help. You see these posts all the time on bad car mods subreddit.

    Updating... a few questions.

    Make sure you enable the 1touch blinker option. I think its disabled by default but its so useful

    The unreliable Mazda ?

    exactly the reason I bought the cx5, because of the way it drove. To me, it was the most important aspect of the vehicle I wanted to drive. The fact that it has great handling in a CUV with ample room is the best of both worlds that other CUVs can't nail down. If my job required me to haul a...

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

    i never drove the MDX but it's like 500lb heavier than the CX5. I too hate driving pick up trucks. I test drove most of the CUVs--all of the popular ones here anyway--and was close to getting a rav4 but there was a mazda dealership only a couple minutes from my work so on break I drove the cx5...

    Off Topic I thought it was a joke when I first heard. It's not. I present the Rolls Royce SUV

    can I get a little SUV with that wood please? honestly though, that's nice. the white leather here makes my CX5 feel more premium lol

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

    I tried to get my cx5 stuck in the snow and couldn't. also had trouble doing donuts in the snow even since it was still getting a good grip lol. snow is a joke with AWD as long as the tires are proper. I went from a sedan to a CX5 too and it wasn't at all much different in terms of how it feels...

    Just bought 2018 CX-5 GT w/premiu pkg - Beware of dealer installed hitch!

    sorry all this happened to you but can I ask why you requested a class 2? cx5 can only tow 2k lbs and a class 1 is rated to tow 2k lbs

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    i know with my 2017 the transmission is completely sealed and it would have to be "unsealed" (broken) to do a transmission flush. I thought the 2016 was the same so I'm wondering if that guy just had no idea what he was talking about. maybe an intern or he thought you were in a different...

    Mazda CX-5 front USB not for charging phones

    found an article about this actually: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/why-your-usb-car-charger-hardly-works-at-all/ found this to be odd: "Valbuena also noted that when an Apple device is connected, the USB port will provide 1A of current (as required by Apple certification – weird, right?)."

    Saint's Build Thread

    yea i know looks are subjective, but personally this is the best looking CUV on the road, although one could put up an argument for the F Pace as well. I also love mine in Black especially in the sun. I know a lot of people don't like the chrome accents but against the black it does look nice

    Mazda CX-5 front USB not for charging phones

    so it's my understanding that the usb ports inside the center console are accessory ports, not meant for charging. Think of it like you're plugging your phone into your computer's front usb ports. It will trickle charge but it's not designed to put out the amps to charge it sufficiently. If you...

    Dropping weight!

    Why anyone would mod their Cx5 to shave off 0.2 seconds of time from a 0-60 is beyond me. Its a cuv....are you taking this thing on the track?

    How come everytime CR-V is mentioned the thread gets yanked?

    I like the separation of models but not so much the sub forums within the models.
