    30 MPG.... Unicorn or Golden Retreiver?

    With 44k miles on the clock, I can still easily average 35+ MPG highway at constant 55 MPH limit for a 60 mile round trip. That is without traffic. For s**** and giggles, my highest MPG for the same route is some where around 39 MPG, but that required heavy concentration which is more stress...

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    Wow, they look really nice (assuming they're real Buddy Clubs). What's the offset?

    BT/iPhone audio = boomy?

    I notice the difference between my Galaxy S5 and S6 versus iPhone (5S and 6S) work phones. My iPhones definitely have a more prominent low end in comparison to the S6 and S5. This isn't only noticeable on my CX-5, but also via the headphone jack and any other Bluetooth playback. The difference...

    Defective or Vandalized? My poor emblem.

    I debadged my CX-5. If you want my (perfect) badges, let me know. I'll send it over for cost of shipping.

    If you are willing to separate, I'll take the rears.

    Rear end rusting out...

    Then sell it ASAP since it's not a "long term" vehicle.

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    Yeah, that looks horrible and is unsafe. Just as horrid as douche bags wearing sunglasses at night. I remember back in the late 90's, random stickers was the ricer fad. Nowadays, it's tinted lights beyond visibility.

    2016 Tech Package Fog lights swap into 2015 Tech?

    You're better off with the Morimoto XB LED projectors. The light output simply outperforms any foglights i've seen- even OEM LED's. *Not trying to market Morimoto, just a consumer speaking the truth*

    A/C Vent Trim Removal

    Pre-2016 CX-5's vents are not chromed. I'm more than willing to trade.

    What should I paint my chrome vents with?

    The pre-2016 did not have the chrome vents. With that said, would you like to trade for my matte black factory vents?

    cx-5 great handling and ride vs. mazda6

    I would beg to differ as I had a 2015 Mazda 6 GT loaner for a week. The ride is definitely quieter and and smoother. I would say it's because of the lower surface area (wind noise), separated trunk instead of a hatch, and the long wheel base versus the CX-5's shorter wheelbase.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    If it's anything like the Series 1 CX-5's, which it should be. You need to pry off the plastic covers in the hatch area behind the taillights, disconnect the taillights, and undo the 10mm nuts. Pull the taillight unit towards you as you stand directly behind the car. It may take a bit of force.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    Forgot about VLED's. Another great place for LED drop-ins. I have some of their 194's I purchased years ago and they still work like new. Back then they were the only manufacturer that supplied reliable LED's that is equal or brighter than their incandescent counter parts.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    Negative, though the single CREE diode looks promising enough to provide equal if not better light compared to incandescent. Personally, I'm done with Amazon and eBay crap (especially the iJDMtoy "brand"). They have all been either too dim, color is too blue (6000+k), and/or...

    AutoGuide's 1st. LEMON list.... Mazda way down but not that bad!

    Might want to adjust the ratio and see how fairly each of those stack up. Remember that Mazda produces a very low volume of cars.

    Mazda CX-4 / 6 possibly?

    The CUV market is predicted to rise 5% in 2016 and exponentially more after. It's just a strategic move by Mazda and practically every other manufacturer.

    Rear Privacy Glass - can it be made darker?

    I have gotten pulled over with 20% tint for the front windows (matched rear) in NYC. I wasn't violating any traffic laws either. If they want to hunt you, they'll hunt you (luckily I got out of that ticket). Nowadays, I have 10% front tints and rear overlaid with 20%. A bit of a hassle to open...

    Is your driver side rear tire rotating the wrong way? They seem to be direction tires.

    Is parchment leather tough to keep clean?

    Just wipe down with a soft microfiber towel dampened in clean water every week. The leather will WITHOUT a doubt stained (especially with dark jeans), but can be easily removed if wiped down frequently.

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    The H11 Halogen projectors in the non-tech packages are more than sufficient. No where close to OEM bi-xenon's, but far better than the typical halogen reflectors and even most projectors with turd HID plug and play kits.
