    What are your favorite aspects of your CX-5?

    TBH.. 0-30 MPH cruise or whatever manufacturers call stop and go… is of only real interest to me these days. I’m either in gridlock or wide open roads. I have old school over 25 MPH radar cruise in my old ‘07 G35x and rarely use it

    No..absolutely do not rely on anything OEM… I even see some rust on my CX-5 in area of the US (Pacific Northwest) not part of the salt belt. Look to Krown or Ziebart https://www.krown.com/en/ https://www.ziebart.com/auto-care-services/rust-protection/rust-protection-services Washington...

    2019 CX-5 Need tips on taking over maintenance after 50K miles

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Per the spark plug posts a few back… I used this socket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXJ3X7P/ Incorporates a unique leaf spring retainer system to hold the spark plugs firmly in the socket. Does not slip like magnet grip systems, and does not grip too tightly like o-ring systems.

    Advice on this stunning light display (2015 CX-5)

    Do you have a device that plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash? You said you cleared codes so I assumed you had a device or are you just pulling the battery terminal off.
