They wouldn’t know if it’s necessary or not without checking. The road force machine will help determine if a tire or wheel is out of round.

No way to fit an adult snowboard without folding the seats down.

Anyone figure this out? I installed the Fortin in my wife’s 20 GT last week(was previously installed in the 16 we traded) and I’m seeing the TPMS light and Radar cruise below 20 warning. It is on the latest firmware. I did a quick test this morning and the radar cruise warning won’t show if...

If you want to be able to just drive the car and not spend a lot of time keeping it clean but still have it look good in a few years, avoid black. I’d also suggest avoiding black if you don’t have much experience washing and detailing cars. Even following the best of practices will leave...

I had to argue with my dealer about this as well. Turns out there is a VIN range and the latest 16.5s (what I had at the time)were not included in the TSB. My issues(overhearing passenger brakes) were a result of mileage and corrosion. I replaced the pads and rotors and didn’t have any issues...

After a year and 20k miles, Raybestos rotors with the silver E3 coating and Akebono Pro ACT pads were looking and working great on the 16 GT I traded in August. I just put the same combination (Different part numbers because of the bigger dual piston calipers) on my GTR. Both times I used...

The dealer put Michelins on my 2019 gtr to remove the vibrations. I drove 3 other cx5s with the same issue that day. My 16.5 also had an issue until I had Michelin’s installed at 40k. Recently traded the 16.5 GT for a 20 GT. I was shocked to find the 20 had no vibration issues. I took it on the...

Just curious if anyone has replaced their front pads on a gen 2 with Akebonos. I’m looking to install these on a 19 cx-5 reserve, which has the same calipers, pads and rotors. The Akebono site only lists pads for cx-9s up to 2017 and nothing for a 19 cx-5 reserve. Did anything change in 2018...

Something you just noticed one day or was it always there and got worse over time? Would be interesting to see the build dates for everyone who has had this issue.

Those are for the NA models. What’s interesting is that the Akebono catalog only lists Cx-9s up to 2017.

CD and coasting when no load and minimal fuel spray are 2 different things. All 4 cylinders are not truly deactivated(changing the valves) when coasting.

This Is not true. I had the cruise set to 70mph and watched the display drop to 2 cylinders.

For now. Some time with a tuner and I’m sure they can figure out a way. It’s just a computer program.

Changed the oil in my reserve today. Old filter was the original (not to the car) part made in Japan. The new one was the Thailand 1WPY. There are a few visible differences... - Japan filter is bigger as noted in this thread - Japan filter has circle holes on the End cap, Thailand has ovals -...

Confirmed, sport mode does not disable CD on 2020s.

I would hope not considering it was manufactured in July 2020 and I purchased it 2-3 weeks ago. For me, the vibration that can be felt when running on 2 cylinders isn’t bad at all, it’s the transition from 4 to 2 that bugs me. I’m sure it isn’t easy to disable, but who knows, maybe it could...

I know the short answer is that it’s not possible to do this but I wanted to start a thread to get some ideas floating around and hopefully one day come up with a real solution. I also know there are already a few threads out there about CD in general but none focus on disabling it. This is my...

19 Reserve and a 20 GT

Wow, well this doesn’t make me feel good about my recent purchase of a 2020 GT. The lack of VIN specification indicates 2020s did not get the new head. Such a dumb move by Mazda, just for the small percentage in fleet mileage.

Anyone else notice the difference between 19 and 20 doors opening and closing ? The 20 sounds like there is some level of suction when opening. And when closing it just feels more solid, less of A hollow thud. I‘Ve confirmed this on 3 20s. I suppose there could be an issue with my 19 GTR. I...
