    2016 CX-5 Drive belt pricing

    My understanding is that the TSB is to make the dealers aware of common issues so they know how to diagnose and fix it efficiently. It doesn't necessarily extend warranty coverage beyond the original terms of the warranty. edit: I was posting at the same time as yrwei52. I didn't expect this...

    What is the purpose of a HUD?

    Difficult to search or input destination. Non-intuitive, slow, many-step process to initiate. Voice commands not interpreted correctly. With Android Auto I can say "navigate to (contact name)" and then accept and I'm on my way. Or do it on the go. I can also name any business, or say...

    What is the purpose of a HUD?

    Yeah, I wish it showed the street name and direction for Android Auto like it does for the built in Nav. Still not the slightest bit tempted to endure the built in Nav instead. It's interface in unusable.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    That's cyanoacrylate, Superglue - colored blue.

    CX-5 Turbo is the best AWD SUV for the money

    Hopefully with the next refresh or overhaul they'll offer top trim with something better looking than dark brown on black interior. That is a potential deal breaker for me, to pay extra for uglier interior.

    Which tire would you choose?

    Why do you need a new tire? Are your Dimax new? They can be ordered.

    I'm getting an oil change at Costco and I don't care

    The dealership is more expensive, takes more time, and gives less care than doing it myself. It's a hassle all around.

    OEM Future parts availability for Mazda 2.2L Skyactiv-D Engine

    I know you aren't entirely serious in your tone, but it rankles a little because I really wanted the torquey efficient diesel in 2017 and 2018. By 2019 Mazda was way late, tried to sell it for way too much, and had terrible EPA mileage numbers that were beyond underwhelming. The clincher is...

    CX-5 2022+ Nav Card Cloning for backup

    Ooh, I wasn't very interested in this thread until the part about loading faster. Does it make the Infotainment boot to ready faster, or just faster when switching to navigation? I never use the navigation, but would love for the system to boot faster, or switch between Android Auto and Mazda...

    2014 CX-5 2.5L Oil analysis shows coolant present

    I like your analysis, but I assume the .11% is of the oil mass and is remaining material that was introduced as antifreeze. In other words, .11% of the oil is not oil and came from antifreeze. I'd expect that would be the non-volatile components of antifreeze that remain after the water...

    There will be a new CX-5 in 2 years...Mazda said

    I recall that I've read that the CX-5 has smaller exterior but equal or larger interior than the CX-7. I also like the size of the CX-5. Maybe a couple more inches of cargo space would be welcome, but I don't want a substantially larger car. I'm very interested in seeing how the CX-70 turns...

    2022 CX-5 Carbon totaled by drunk driver

    I should have mentioned that I don't specifically vouch for the information, and may not have read it all. It seemed to give a plausible accounting of the various things that affect credit related to financing a car. I've been out of the credit score fray for a long time. In our house for...

    Next Gen CX-5

    Okay, this is delayed reaction but I'm not looking for a Hybrid to pay for itself. I'm looking for a plug-in hybrid. Ability to drive without needing gas when convenient, but unlimited range when needed. More power with smaller than otherwise gas engine. Better fuel economy. I'd be...

    Down to 3 tire options. Opinions Appreciated!

    Wait, what? Discount Tire owns Tirerack? Apparently happened last year. I guess they are tired of price matching :)
