    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I'm starting to have more and more issues with mine. Now, if I'm on the highway in stop and go traffic, and I come to a stop under an overpass or whatever, the signal will (rightfully) go out for a second or two. When it comes back on.. the radio will constantly cut out for a split second...

    6 month Review of my 2019 CX-5 Signature

    Hey guys - this post is probably more for those of you out there who are on the fence, or wondering how owners feel about their new vehicles after half a year of driving. Overview I picked my new car up at the beginning of April. I chose the 2019 Signature in Soul Red Crystal Metallic...

    New Signature Minor Nit

    Both of my parents drive a Mazda 6 (dad's since passed) and I've attempted to tell them that they don't need to set a fan speed- the car will automatically do it depending on the temp, JUST LIKE THE HOUSE. Every time I get in thier car, the auto mode is off and "I can't understand why thi car...

    Blown away by our new CX-5 Signature.

    Take my advise as a fellow '19 signature soul red crystal owner... when u get some time, apply some really good wax to the car. I had a bird s*** on mine, washed it off IMMEDIATELY, and it has left some ghosting on the pain. :(

    Mirror folding failure

    Wow.. its so weird how these things are different everywhere. It may have been the way I negotiated. I countered their initial offer with a very specific # (I had done a s*** ton of research on what the lowest possible price I could get would be) and told them it had to include an extended...

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    If you can afford the extra couple grand, get the GT REserve or the Signature as they have the Turbo - the Turbo has no Cylinder Deactivation in it.

    Windshield Washer Fluid recommendation?

    I don't know if the washer fluid comes factory filled from Japan or if my dealer filled the tank once it got here (logic says it's likely filled here at the dealer as I know the vehicles are delivered with just enough gas to get them from the factory to the ship from the ship to the car-carrier...

    Mirror folding failure

    Every single car extended warranty I have purchased has NEVER paid for itself, with the exception of assurance in my own brain. Not once across 3 vehicles I've bought new from a dealer. My Mazda6, I had a 400$ repair done after factory warranty that was covered, but that left me with about...

    2019 CX-5 low, rear red reflectors: Replace w/ lighted brake/tail units?

    Just be forewarned - I know here in Ontario Canada, there is a minimum and maximum # of headlamps and colouration when dealing with stuff like this. In some jurisdictions, this could be illegal and could net you a ticket, despite the fact that it is, indeed, much safer!

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    80.7 billion dollar bailouts from 2008 to 2014. Money well spent on companies making boring uninnovative cars, filling dealership lots full of product that doesn*t move fast. Only NOW are the domestic mfgrs innovating. And people are concerned about incentives to buy vehicles that will...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    How is it possible that Edmunds didn*t mention Tesla once in that entire article you pointed to and my post has Consumer Reports reporting exactly what I said? Lmao Again, there*s a bias out there.

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    To be fair, that video is from 2017 - A LOT has changed at Tesla in 2 years. Have there been MAJOR issues with warranty and parts shortages? Yes, but the bloody company is still a start-up, trying to survive in a market that has been rescued OVER and OVER by our governments, through bail-out's...

    Brake Fluid Drain/Fill, Mazda dealer says NO

    I just had my first service at my dealer (car only has 9000km on it), and it blew me away when I asked the guy to have them check my transmission fluid level because several people here on this forum reported lower-than-normal levels in their transmissions. I was told "its a sealed unit, there...

    Siri always brings up Apple maps instead of Google maps

    That's because you're in the "Apple Ecosphere" when using Carplay on iOS. If you ask Siri for directions on your iPhone separately, she'll pass you through to Apple Maps as well. No way around it my friend.

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

    They did - My experience was hideous to say the least. The oil change and tire rotation ended up costing 104$ Canadian which is just unbelievably expensive. I'm going to do my 2 first-year oil changes there to establish that I'm regularly changing the oil, and then bail and go to the...
