    A Little More Power? 2015 CX-5

    I have a 2015 Touring with 84,000 miles on it, and I have not noticed anything like that. I believe that using premium gas gives you a few more horsepower, have you tried that? I am satisfied with the performance on regular, so I have not.

    Play songs from a USB thumb drive?

    I have used a thumb drive successfully on my 2015 Touring. There's around 1,000 songs on it. I also use a Apple Classic Ipod that has 10,600 some songs on it. It would not play if directly plugged into the port, but I got a blue tooth transmitter, and can play it that way.

    Wow! CX-5 Short Break Pad Life!

    A 2015 actually. From what I have read a number of people have had to get their rear brakes done somewhat early. I think it is due to most cars nowadays being adjusted so that the rears are applied earlier than the fronts to prevent front end brake dive.

    First new tires for my 2019 CX-5 Signature

    I became a Discount Tire customer after two visits for slow leaks. They fixed them for free, and I had never gotten anything from them at that time. That is one surefire way to attract a new customer.

    Turbo gas mileage on regular VS premium?

    I have tried premium, and alcohol free. I have noticed little difference between them, and regular. Therefore regular is my choice.

    Brake pads

    I always try to be conservative, letting up on gas when I see a light turning yellow, then braking gently. Coasting down Interstate hills, even downshifting. I had the same thing on a Honda Accord. I believe nowadays the rear brakes come on more than the fronts first when braking to avoid...

    Slow driving review

    Base limitations of the car. i don't know about that. I look back to Car & Drivers first test of the CX-5 in a comparison of CUV's, which it won.. They said, "It not only handles like a car, it handles like a good car". I have a first generation, 2015 Touring. Have they softened the...

    Manual Key

    I don't quite understand how holding a fob with a dead battery next to the start button would enable one to start up. I realize that is what the manual says, but how does it work? is there something in the fob that retains a bit of energy? I guess while the fob would not unlock the vehicle...

    Dealer Recommended Maintenance

    I usually go to a large independent garage that I have used for 20 years. This time I was in a hurry and went to the dealer who is a lot closer. My mistake.

    Dealer Recommended Maintenance

    I took my 2015 CX-5 Touring in for oil/filter/tire rotation. It has 62,908 miles. The dealer included a list of recommended services needed. I asked him if these were factory recommended services, his answer was, "yes". I hate being lied to, right to my face. What say you, people of the...

    Signature mpg

    After 200 fill ups my 2015 CX5 Touring at the pump average is 28.1, the dash average is 28.4. The difference is negligible. Averages are kind of high due to a lot of Interstate travel. I have tried Premium, and alcohol free tankfuls. They are not worth the extra money that they cost. Lowest...
