Try the CX-5 Running Gear section.

IIRC, RainX can interfere with windshield-mounted sensors. Therefore it is not recommended.

I’ve noticed a ticking when my fan starts up, but it disappears after a few minutes. Volume is fine, but I just changed the cabin air filter, which got it back to normal. 16.5, original fan, 5 years old.

It also simplifies dealer inventory management.

Buy a set of LX-25’s and return the Falken “loaner”.

Don’t you just hate it when someone points out a minor annoyance you hadn’t noticed, and then you just can’t unhear it? I say turn up the tunes and cover it up.

Bingo! Living on borrowed time lol. Mine lasted 4 on my 16.5.

Generally there is warranty coverage for any accessories included in the original new car purchase. Makes a dealer cost+ a little more bearable.

Auto hold! Great convenience at long lights.

Before going 63 miles(?), I did a diskcopy, which should create an exact dup of the original card, except it didn’t copy the unlocked license file (not yet locked to the vehicle).

Got a 4-pack at Walmart for $5. Not worth stressing over. Just change it. Takes a minute or two to swap out.

Passive not equal to Inattentive I am constantly scanning forward and rearward for other vehicles and hazards. Passive, but ready to react. Just want to not have to also tweak steering constantly.

I disagree. On a long drive, constantly adjusting to center your car takes effort and attention, and reduces your capacity to observe what else is going on around you. You only have so much attention, and I’d rather save mine for defensive driving rather than rote steering. Who said anything...

On a long drive, I’m looking to reduce fatigue the the lowest level possible. On a twisty road, I’m looking for sharp driving dynamics. Is there something wrong with wanting both in the same vehicle? Mazda is the only major manufacturer that doesn’t offer lane centering. Time to remedy that to...
