    Can We Still Trust Japanese Car Manufactures Especially on Safety and Reliability?

    I've only read quickly, but apparently Deutsch Welle claims it only affects Japanese Domestic market: https://www.dw.com/en/toyota-apologizes-as-japanese-car-testing-scandal-widens/a-69258367

    Unsettling Experience with Stealership: Transmission and spark plug service

    I think, at least in the past, that Amazon sometimes pools inventory for fulfillment. When fulfilled by Amazon, it may not be the vendor's fault.

    Downgrade firmware?

    In my experience with Android Auto, I believe that sometimes it is updates to Android Auto and/or my phone that cause problems for one to many weeks until they quietly get resolved with future updates. It may be coincidence that the problems are occurring after your update (assuming they...

    2013~2016 What size are CX-5 Lug Nuts?

    That number is 94. I'm baffled that people have a problem with Mazda's spec. The spec is 94. You might ask, how important is it to get almost exactly 94? Well, anything between 80 and 108 is fine according to Mazda. Giving a a spec range of 80-108 answers both questions at once. I suspect...

    Do you prefer 94 with a 15% tolerance?

    Possible Damaged Caliper - Brakes/Rotors Change By NuBrakes

    Good eye. It looks to me that the clip is meant to be inside the channel and bias the pad upwards in the picture. The OPs clip is hung up on the outside of the channel which would prevent the pad from sliding in towards the rotor, probably causing it to get cockeyed. Looks like it was done...

    The Next-Generation Mazda CX-5 Will Be Hybrid

    That's almost exactly my situation. And my wife has an electric car so we already have the charger. I was hoping the CX-70 would fit the bill, but its just a configuration of the CX-90. I parked by a CX-90 at Costco and it is huge compared to the CX-5.

    Wheel question for 2018 CX-5

    I did a lot of searching when I bought wheels for my 2018. I replaced the 19s for summer and also bought a set of 17s for Winter. You can get a larger hub bore and use hub centric rings, you just don't want to go smaller. Generally Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda all use the 67.1 I got a very...

    Extra brake job steps…

    I do those things, although not removing all of the grease with brake cleaner, that's a good idea. I replace the brake fluid before any of this, then don't open bleeder while compressing caliper. Its new fluid in there before I start. It takes me a long time, but I only do it once or twice a...

    Mazda is advertising CX-5 models without Cylinder Deactivation and i-stop

    Where's the 10% worse claim. Maybe I'll regret it, but I have a hard time mustering concern over the CD on my 2018. I enjoy watching the real time MPG go into coast mode. It's possible that if I were planning on keeping this car for 20+ years like my Acura, I'd feel a little differently.

    Now with the CX-70 "revealed", what is everyone buying?

    That's what I'm hoping for. I don't care what they call it. CX-5, 50, 60, 70 or whatever else.

    Replaced CX-5 OEM Toyo Tires

    Still have mine on my 2018, not driving enough since Covid. Maybe 55K total miles on the car but only on 2/3 of the time with original tires since I also have winter tires.

    The Never-ending Question...What happens to the CX-5 Next Year (2025)?

    I'm waiting for a Plugin Hybrid with about the size and elegance of the 2nd gen CX-5. I was hoping the CX-70 would be close enough, but its way too big. Unfortunately rumor is that the CX-5 will just get a conventional hybrid :(. It would be great if the reason they made the CX-70 just a trim...

    SOS: Rear passenger brake on, CX-5 stuck

    Did you take the actuator off and adjust it? How did it resolve? Sorry you had to go through that, sounds like a big hassle. I have to admit, when I read the title my first thought was, why does the rear passenger have a brake.

    Reason #1 and #2 why it's better to change your own oil Vs a dealer

    that filter isn't anywhere close to having a restriction or bypass.

    Reason #1 and #2 why it's better to change your own oil Vs a dealer

    Don't you still need a pan for the oil filter? I have a Fumoto, but don't use jack or ramps, and I drain the oil into a pan.
