    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    You can’t get that kind of deal here in nj or eastern PA unless car was in an accident. Best I could find was a 2019 touring cpo, machine gray, preferred package with 22k miles $30,400 out the door. I’d say you did very well if the car is clean. Anything with lower miles, add $1000. there is...

    First oil change on 2020 CX-5 Signature: WTF Surprise?

    So is the conclusion that the Mazda oil filter tool should only be used with the Japanese made filter and not the Thai version?

    Oil consumption?

    Took the car to the dealer today, they claim 1.5 quarts over 7500 is within the normal range. Whatever, if that's normal, these cars are not being manufactured properly. My sequoia with 90k miles lost maybe 1/2 quart over 7500 miles and my current did, 2005 Acura rl, with 113k on the clock...

    Oil consumption?

    2014 cx-9 gt, 10k miles. Changed oil for the second time yesterday, went 7500 miles between the first change and burned 1.5 quarts using Mobil 1 5w-20. This seemed like a high burn rate as my Acura burns less than a half quart over 7500 miles, and it has 113k miles on it. In fact, this is the...

    2015 Touring 1,000 mile review

    We've had our 2014 gt since March, 6500 miles. It's been great, not a single issue. Gas mileage isnt great, though. I'd say we average 16-17 in suburban driving, maybe 20-21 hwy on 20" wheels. The body metal is very soft. Had a sequoia for 11 years, not a dent on it, the Mazda has a few...

    Home link buttons

    2011 CX-9 First Time Oil Change FAIL?

    Mazda must hav been reading this thread. I just changed the oil in my 14 cx-9 for the first time at 3k miles. The filter came right off, barely hand tight. Oil plug also came right off. I used Mobil 1 5w-20 and will now go every 7500 miles.

    Warranty repairs and loaner/rental question

    Varies by dealer. My Mazda dealer gives loaners on all service work. I have an 05 Acura RL, Acura dealer gives me a loaner for any service repair, always, and I didn't buy the car from them. My Toyota dealer also gives loaners. When I took my Acura to my local Honda dealer for timing belt...

    New 2015 cx9 (and Mazda) owner

    What do you mean sunroof takes up too much headroom? GT comes pretty much loaded. Try to get a 14, same exact car, thousands cheaper.

    Trade 20s for 18s

    The ride can be a little harsher, but not that much different. They get just a little worse gas mileage and are more expensive to replace. I don't need 20s, 18s are just fine, but can't seem to find a trade.

    Hi guys, I am picking up a new 2014 this Saturday. I'd prefer to have the 18s instead of the 20s. If someone wants to trade, contact me via pm.

    New 2015 cx9 (and Mazda) owner

    Gotta love car salesman. Second dealer calls me yesterday morning after I originally posted here and says he can give me a great deal. Well, he was right, $35k out the door on a 2014 with 177 miles on it, a little over $2200 cheaper than the 2015 gt w/tech we were going to buy, same exact car...

    New 2015 cx9 (and Mazda) owner

    Hi guys, We just put a deposit down on a 2015 cx9 gt with tech package. IVE never owned a Mazda before. Coming from a 2004 sequoia with 90k miles, original owner. I hope the Mazda treats me as well as the sequoia did (it never had a single mechanical issue!). We were comparing the cx9...
