    My Thoughts Driving a 2019 GT

    I haven't driven the Turbo yet, but am looking at upgrade to the 2020 when it comes out. Around Boston, its pretty much traffic from 6AM to 7PM 7 days a week. I don't think I have ever been in a situation where my '16 GT hasn't been enough. We don't really have passing around here.

    CX-5 Refresh

    I hope the 2020 model brings with it the new mazda3 infotainment. It looks faster and the screen looks sharper. The new gen connected needs to add some other stuff too. I would also like to see HUD support with CarPlay, because built in navigation is useless for me because of traffic. I also...

    June Sales - USA

    I don't think just extending the warranty is enough, but I think it could help. Mitsubishi has longer warranties like Kia/Hyundai and its not helping them. But Kia/Hyunda spend a lot of money on marketing and marketing that warranty specifically, and it completely changed their trajectory. I...

    Mazda want more CX-5 sales in the USA?. Make it a bit wider and longer

    Which depending on the area leads to less traffic, less wear and tare on the roads, less pollution, etc.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    I called Mazda this morning and now I am waiting to hear the resolution. The representative made it seem like this wasn't their first run in with this issue. I appreciate their honesty, but with 26 pages in this thread, 70 exterior lighting complains on the NHSTA website, anything less than...

    First service scheduled for 2019 CX-5

    I think technically the schedule 2 oil changes are 6 months or 5k miles, whichever comes first. I honestly ignore the months limit, unless I am approaching a year.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    I agree 100%. It at least it provides some good documentation and my only hope is that it would make it more likely for Mazda to provide voluntary relief.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    There is probably a zero percent chance this does anything, but it seems like a bunch of people have filed complaints with the NHTSA https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2016/MAZDA/CX-5/SUV/AWD#complaints There are 66 exterior lighting complaints currently.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Well, both my DRL are flickering and dealership quoted me about 2 grand to fix both. I didnt buy the car from them but have gotten it serviced there for all 7 oil changes/ tire rotations but I dont blame them for not picking up the tab right away. The women wasnt surprised though, and...

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Well, count me in as another 16 GT with this issue. My wife noticed our passenger side DRL went out. Not looking forward to dealing with this. Is it even worth contacting Mazda?

    Rotors in pretty bad shape, normal?

    Well, I should have noted that I am careful for a Massachusetts driver. That 8 mile drive is 30-35 minutes... so not easiest drive.

    Rotors in pretty bad shape, normal?

    I have a 2016 Cx-5 w/ 23k miles. I drive about 16 miles a day to get to work and back. I am a pretty careful driver, got a maximum discount from one of those insurance ODB sensors. I have gone to a dealer for all my standard service. I do live in MA, so crappy salty roads and winters. I have...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    When I was testing it, I used the tap pictured in this guide which is a low profile mini fuse tap http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123829094-Hardwiring-a-Valentine-1. However, it didn't seem to fit right although I didn't really try and force it, so I think I actually need one of...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    I will definitely write something up unless someone else gets to it first. My initial impressions were mixed, but it was good enough that I figured what the heck. Well, I will be using a 10A fuse on the tap, tapped into a fuse terminal that is supposed to be able to handle 15A. This...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    That isn't true. The sw11 is one of at least two models that crutchfield carries that supports powering from the fuse box as a supported configuration. The CX-5 has an open 15A fuse that powers on/off with the car, so you just need a fuse tap and you can ground anywhere. Pioneer TS-WH500A...
