    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    Hi all, My 2016 GT AWD is just past 30k miles and I was wondering how many miles did you get out of your original set of tires? I'm assuming I should get about another 10k, but wasn't sure if you could go further. Bonus points if you have 19" rims and AWD for comparison purposes. Thanks!

    What did you trade-in for your '17 or '18?

    2003 Acura RSX Type S. Got $2,200 I think?

    Curb = damage!

    I hit a curb with my wife's CX-5 and made a very loud BANG. But as everyone else mentioned - no real lasting damage. Didn't even mess with the alignment. The CX-5 is a resilient car

    What is this Sorcery?

    My opinion is as long as you change your oil regularly, you won't have any problems with crud or build up. I'm not 100% sure about the second part of your question CX-5um, but I believe the initial start up idle is higher to warm up the catalytic converter. It has the side benefit of warming...

    What is this Sorcery?

    It is snake oil. I love my dealer's service department but every oil change they try to sell me this crap for like $200. Tell them NO time and time again. Think about this for a second - if gas isn't "washing" over the valves in a direct injection why would there be crud build up on the valve...

    Chipped Windshield

    I can commiserate with you. I got whacked with a rock yesterday. My poor baby, less than 2k miles, has a huge "bug splatter" on the passenger side windshield. Ever worse, I can't repair it since it wasn't a crack but a scuff that made the outside glass rough. However, for those who can repair...

    CX-5 & Child Car Seats

    First, congratulations on the twins! While owning a CX 5 is a joy, I know the pain of trying to squeeze a baby seat in the back. I would recommend looking into Britax car seats. However, to be safe if you have a baby store near you (Like buy buy baby) they will let you try the seats out before...

    2018 CX-5 Grand Touring Leather Seat Issue

    Oh man I'm sorry to hear that. I'm getting mine fixed in April. I'll report back if the bubble comes back as well.

    2018 CX-5 Grand Touring Leather Seat Issue

    I have this same issue with my 2017 GT as well. The good news is that the dealer is covering under warranty. The bad news is that I don't know if is the passenger seat as well since I haven't had anyone really ride with me consistently yet.

    Not your typical door lock question

    Just a quick update: One day after the original post it appears it has reverted back to the normal preset of locking the doors after driving away. In the end, I did not have to do a factory reset nor change the auto lock settings. I guess the old "turn it off and then back on again" works...

    You know, that is a very good thought. Thank you for that. I really appreciate it.

    Not your typical door lock question

    My hope was that maybe someone had something similar (or me just being an idiot and accidentally hitting a setting or something) before I had to go to the dealer. But if that is my only option... c'est la vie.

    Not your typical door lock question

    Thank you for the response. I thought the same when I checked it is set for 60 seconds as the auto re-lock. In my initial post, this was about 10 seconds AFTER opening the door.

    Not your typical door lock question

    No, it is just me driving. There is no other passenger. And yes, this afternoon I plan on doing the factory reset for lock settings. Otherwise, got to take a day off to go the dealer.

    Not your typical door lock question

    Hello all, I was hoping to enlist your help in figuring what is going on with my auto lock feature. If it helps a little background: the CX-5 in question in a 2017 GT bought this December. Doesn't have a thousand miles on it yet and this problem just started happening over the last 3-4 days...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I fear I may not have made a great deal - but if it helps anyone I recently bought a 2017 CX-5 GT AWD (Eternal Blue) with the premium package on 12/16/17. My breakdown is as follows: For the car itself w/o package: $30,453 (Including destination charge) +$1629 for the premium package + $25...
