    Best place to list a used car?

    I*ve had no luck with CL in the DC area. Get dozens of *still available?* emails and no one ever continues the conversation. Also seems consumed with foreign-born people who struggle to communicate or lazily ask *for your best price* without even seeing the car, which I assume must be a...

    Best place to list a used car?

    Facebook marketplace, CarGurus, or CARFAX. I sold a car a couple years ago and found autotrader and cars.com to be inactive. Also, dont forget the good old fashioned FOR SALE sign in the window.

    Next Gen CX-5 Design and Content Suggestions

    My wish list: 1. Give the car a slightly wider stance and slightly wider tires. 2. Add slightly more rear legroom and cargo space - not much, just a couple inches to make more car seat friendly. 3. Add Mazda3 infotainment, obviously. 4. Add ambient lighting and external lighting (puddle...

    302hp RAV4

    Will the Rav4 Prime still look like a toy on the inside?

    Mazda Ranked Highly by CR

    I know what you*re saying, but I was referring more to the substance of their complaints, not the quantity. Regardless, even though Honda sells more cars, their CRV buyers aren*t really the type to post on car enthusiast forums. Case in point, the CRV and Honda communities on a Reddit are...

    Winter is here and my CX-5 Turbo is now a 2.0L!

    That kind of a nanny feature would be unprecedented, I*d think. Also, it would be ridiculous considering were talking about a car that doesn*t even have 300 HP.

    Mazda Ranked Highly by CR

    What makes you think those rankings are out of whack? Porsche makes nearly flawless cars, they just have expensive maintenance schedules. And it ain*t 2003 anymore - Honda is in a free fall in terms of reliability and several publications have taken notice. Go browse a Passport or CRV forum...

    2020 CX5 Press Release

    Why remove it? Was the sound that offensive? Hard to believe Mazda went to those lengths for a bad sound.

    Mazda Ranked Highly by CR

    Yep, they*re pretty well dropping the ball on advertising. They should be touting the CR ranking as shamelessly as Chevy touts those worthless JD Power awards, haha.

    Car washes - safe or not?

    Not just cult luxury. Anyone who fancies car detailing views auto washes with horror. It definitely will swirl up the paint faster than hand washing, but it*s not irreparable. You can help by waxing regularly, but that quickly negates the time savings of an automatic wash.

    Winter is here and my CX-5 Turbo is now a 2.0L!

    Im kinda surprised you havent raised a bigger stink - I sure would. Heres what Id do: 1. Take car in again and get the corporate and dealer acknowledgements in writing. Spoken words mean nothing. 2. Post a good quality comparison video on YouTube 3. Post on Mazdas social media platforms 4...

    2020 CX-9 gets a 10 ft lb bump in torque with 93 octane

    Disagree. The auto industry is trending this way and finds ACP/AA to be a better selling point with customers. So its no stranger than when Apple killed the headphone jack. I think its a good sign that Mazda is ahead of the curve on this one.

    Potential 2020 CX-5 Spotted in Mazda Hofu

    I*m cross shopping the two. With all of the crossovers in this class being a bum in at least one of the popular buying factors (CX-5 in cargo, RAV4 in driving experience, etc.), I think a lot of shoppers like myself end up struggling to decide where they want to compromise. It*s really a shame...

    2020 model year changes

    It*s still in there, just early instead of at the end.

    2020 model year changes

    Yep, its gotta be one of the most unused premium features on cars these days. Fake sportiness.

    2018 CX-5 Anyone worried about the Unintended Acceleration/Service Brakes problem?

    Btw a lot of you in this thread could be more welcoming. Theres no reason for the just sell it or CARMAX critiques. The OP had a legit question, so why are you treating him like crap?

    2018 CX-5 Anyone worried about the Unintended Acceleration/Service Brakes problem?

    Totally agree. Hes basically spamming the boards by bringing this up in every single thread. Tired of it.

    Interior Materials

    Just use Aerospace 303 protectant on all the non-gloss surfaces. No need to treat them each differently. Anything that is truly dirty can just be wiped with a wet rag before applying 303.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Just another example of the poor execution of Mazda USA. The service department used to do the same thing to me. The corporate suits need to realize that people want genuine customer service, not overtly forced customer service. This survey scheme is ultra tacky.

    Blown away by our new CX-5 Signature.

    Woah, where do you even get that plate?
