    Beware of prepaid maintenance packages

    I learned at the ripe old age of 21 when I bought my first new car that "lifetime oil changes" for 300$ on the purchase of a new car would turn into them trying to rip me off at EVERY.SINGLE.OILCHANGE. I'd go in for a simple oil change, and they'd ALWAYS be pushing SUPER hard on unneeded...

    Folding Mirror Issue

    I live in the great white north, and I don't hear of rampant luxury cars that have had this feature for years complaining about it across the board. if it IS an issue with our car, its a design issue. keep in mind, most of these cars are designed and tested in super cold climates and even...

    Folding Mirror Issue

    Totally agree with you. As I said in the other Extended Warranty post, Cars and iPhone's are the only two things I buy extended warranties on. It's a no-brainer, ESPECIALLY if you can get it for 1/2 price like I did.

    Extended Warranty

    Because on my last car, out-of-warranty repairs BEFORE 100,000km would have cost me well over what I paid for for the warranty. Cars and my iPhone are the only two things I buy Extended warranties on. I agree with Paulzooms - I paid 50% off their price for the extended warranty on my car. I...

    Automatic Emergency Breaking Front/Rear

    3-4 weeks after I got my '19 signature, this feature of our car saved my ass, and likely prevented the car from being written off. I had a video of it, but can't find it. Essentailly, someone made a blind-left turn in front of me just as someone in the lane beside me to the left decided to...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    It will HELP lessen it. When I picked up my Sig in April, I had this happen at least a couple times a week. Some tips: 1) Get it updated to 335. WHY the dealer delivered it without updating it bewilders me. 2) Let the system load completely. Don't plug you phone in to the Carplay/Android...

    2019 GX (Canada) - cylinder decativation

    Yeah, thanks to everyone who pointed it out - I had looked at the PDF brochure online and noticed the difference. This is for a co-worker's Dad, so I wanted to be sure. I'm very surprised. Musta had a bunch of 2.5L non-CD engines left over from the previous year and decided to bundle them...

    Dealer Extras

    Pass on them all. For paint protection, go see a local tint shop (do your research - they aren't all the same!) and get paint protection film applied to at LEAST the front of your bumper and at least 18-20" (more if u can afford it) of your hood. I got mine done for about 450$. As for the...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I bet this guy you talk of also thinks the Door Close button on elevators ACTUALLY closes the door earlier than it normally would. I have a friend who works in the elevator business, and he said some of them do have door close buttons but most of the older ones its just a button with no real...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    Thanks for sharing this! I'm glad there's a TSB open for it because it's one of the only things I am not really happy about in my car. Appreciate it!

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I've had that probably 4-5 times since I got the car in April. Sometimes turning the car off for an hour or so seems to fix it too. Yeah, they won't have a resolution. I can almost guarantee you. Mazda points at SXM, SXM points at Mazda. lol

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    It probably doesn't cost them out of their own pocket, but you be sure that there are incentives from Corporate to reduce or prevent warranty work from occuring if it is not a safety issue. Companies are always looking to reduce cost, and one of those ways is through what THEY deem unnecessary...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    Its important to know that Mazda does NOT manufacture the SiriusXM module. That is proprietary hardware manufactured by SiriusXM. I believe the issue is more on the SiriusXM side. I think when they update their hardware remotely sometimes it messes with the Mazda Infotainment system...

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    Yeah, I should have gone over his head. Unfortunately,it was after their regular business hours and I could see the Service Managers' office was dark and they were gone for the day. I'm going to give them one more chance. If I don't feel satisfied, I'll go back to the local shop I used...
