    This Forum Lacks Excitement and That is WONDERFUL!

    No complaints here. Our 2025 CX70 PP Plus S just turned over 3700 miles. What I'm really happy about is I'm averaging 30 mpg on regular gas. I started out with premium 93 but then tried 87 octane. No difference.

    First Transmission Drain and Fill on 2016 CX-5

    If it was a very dark red color I guess it's possible that it's the old original very dirty FZ fluid. If it's a bright red then no way.

    Question about stop/start and different trim levels

    Our 2023 CX5 Turbo doesn't have it. However, our 2025 CX70 does.

    2013~2016 CX-5 misfiring After replacing spark plugs

    It's possible the ceramic insulator on the spark plug cracked during installation too. That could cause the misfire. Switch up the suspect plug with a good one or an old one and see if the misfire goes away. You can move it to another cylinder to and see if the misfire follows. If it does you...

    Synthetic engine oil not being used..?

    I believe where you live comes into play too. Down here in Houston we're typically mid 90's or higher al summer. Our 2023 CX5 Turbo recommends 5W30 all year round while the owner's manual on our 2025 CX70 Turbo S states 0W20. If you're in Mexico it's 5W30 too on the CX70. This summer I'm...

    Wheel bearing issues (2016 CX-5)

    2016 CX5 GT with 160K miles no wheel bearing issues. We did replace the front A arms recently as the bushings wore out. Previously, five years ago also had to replace the belt tensioner. Other than that, the car has been a gem.

    Got a Recall letter for the CX-70

    I just picked up our CX-70 two days ago. The dealership said they did the update. Apparently, the recall was announced in November.

    Now with the CX-70 "revealed", what is everyone buying?

    From what I can read from the Mazda literature quilted tan nappa leather seats, extra interior lighting, two toned steering wheel, suede dash and 150 accessory outlet in the back. Not sure if I'm missing anything else for a cost differential of $3,300.

    Now with the CX-70 "revealed", what is everyone buying?

    I'm very close to pulling the plug on a 2025 CX-70. Right now I'm trying to decide between the S Premium or the S Premium Plus. There is a price differential of $3,300 between the two. Any thoughts? With the current rebates of $3500 (we have a 2023 CX5 Turbo) and the dealer discount of $2600 on...

    Thinking of giving my CX-5 with 105K miles to daughter

    My son drives our old 2016 GT. It now has 160,000 miles. Other than replacing the lower control arms a few weeks ago (the bushings were worn out) I'm shocked at how well it still drives. It's been a rock solid car.

    1st to 2nd Gen CX-5 Front control arm upgrade

    We put the 2017 lower control arms on my son's 2016 a few weeks ago. Same fit with no installation issues. No more clunk or mushy steering. The ride was back to oem. FYI, the car has 160K miles on it now. The old bushing were shot.

    New to Forum and seeking advice (looking into purchasing a 2024 CX-5)

    Our old now our son's 2016 CX5 GT has over 150K miles on it. We did a transmission drain and fill at 50K, 75K and most recently 143K. I also did did a drain and tranny filter replacement at 105K miles. The transmission shifts great with no slippage. Actually, the entire car still drives...

    Choices and thoughts on a 2024 CX-5 purchase

    We've had a 2014 - got totaled in an accident but we were fine. 2016 GT- only issue ever was the belt tensioner. My son still drives it with zero issues and 140K miles now. It still drives great too. Finally, we have a 2023 Turbo but with only 5,700 miles it's still pretty much brand new...
