did no one read the OP? "absolutely NO heat comes out of the footwell when the dial is switched to floor. All other positions seem to work ok."

They have the worst selection. I couldn't find a single winter tire that fit the cx5 in 17s

My experience has been the opposite. I found better prices and a far more polished website with tirerack. The "free shipping" sites only do so with higher overall costs. When I was in the market for Michelin xice3 winter tires and steel wheels the TR price was very competitive. Some of these...

I have the same issue but we were experiencing it over the summer months as well. My car sat at the dealer overnight and they couldn't figure it out.

Google tire rack. Enjoy. Come back with questions.

The side mirrors are heated in your trim.

It's BS. Car is rated to tow 2000lbs. Regardless of the hitch class.

That is a short enough duration that nothing special is needed. My only suggestion would be to inflate the tires to 40 psi to compensate for the cold and essentially prevent flat spots on the tire.

I realize comparing average mpg isn't saying much as we are all subject to varying road, environmental and traffic conditions. Our cx5 just turned 10k and we are consistently averaging 31.5 to 33 mpg. We are out in the country so no real "city" driving to contend with.

I mean H9 halogen bulbs. Why would you want to downgrade to LED high beams? The reflective housing for the high beams on the cx5 were designed specifically for halogen bulbs that offer omnidirectional light. You are suggesting that downgrading to a unidirectional setup will afford you more...

Is there an autobahn around you that affords legal speeds excess of three digits?

Your CX5 comes with H11 low beams. A much better and relatively no glare to oncoming driver option would be to upgrade to H9 bulbs. OEM H11 is 1,350 lumens; the replacement H9 bulb is 2,100 lumens. Here is more info https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrbdQmck7E

All it does is hold lower gear longer. And I mean longer. It generally likes to cruise at 3000 rpm as the 2.5 reaches peak torque at 3250 rpm. This helps with rolling acceleration as you are within the power band and no time is spent down shifting. The other thing it does is increase the...

Agreed. The small CUVs out of GM look a decade behind in styling and refinement compared to the industry.

Practically all the synthetics have moly in them. Here is virgin Mobil 1 0w20 http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=475190

Ill play devils advocate since apparently a single tank is enough time. I switched to the Mazda 0w20 last week and the first tank was no different than the last tank which had pennzoil 0w20.

The posted advisory speed limit. The ones in yellow and black. Cause I'm not interested in experiments on highway ramps in an suv.

Nice tip. But how does it look? Is the blade hanging out or is the wiper arm long enough to cover it?

Yep, per Mazda sports mode does increase accelerator pedal sensitivity and thus response.

I've tried it in short burts. Also works great for additional engine braking since it always downshifts a gear. It stays too long at high revs so driving in sports mode in a straight line is just a waste of fuel.
