    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    I'm wondering the same. The weight difference between the new model and the outgoing model is less than 200 lbs. I do recall seeing a quoted 0-60 time of over 10s, but that was for an EU spec 2026 CX-5 with less power.

    Strange 2.5T Engine misfire problem w/multiple choice answer game. Come play.

    Lol I'm only as knowledgeable as the community, everything I learned comes from you guys :LOL: I think I would trust the process and raise your concerns with the dealer. Have them verify the symptoms and see what they do next. If they try to send you away, explain your concerns about...

    Strange 2.5T Engine misfire problem w/multiple choice answer game. Come play.

    Also, on the topic of no codes thrown for a issue like this.. I'm reminded of the time my rear differential took a s*** and I also didn't get any stored codes. I had a Honda dealership (who did an unrelated collision repair) tell me that if there was a problem with the AWD system, I'd see a...

    Strange 2.5T Engine misfire problem w/multiple choice answer game. Come play.

    You raaang? :LOL: I've actually been watching this thread to see what the solution was and to offer help where possible. Unfortunately I've never run into this problem, and I've never seen any other reports on the forum about this. I was planning to try checking idle RPMs in Drive to check...

    New 2025 CX-5 Broken Key Fob

    Very uncommon failure if it just happened out of the blue. Salespeople seem to be getting more and more useless as time goes on.

    Grounding Cylinder Head Test Results (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

    The comment was made at 7:51pm (local time) last night. You posted this comment at 10:19pm (and reported it at 10:21pm). It was not ignored, we simply had not seen it in the 2.5 hours since it had been posted. Additionally, moderators are not bots who are "working" 24/7. We are real people with...

    CX-5 Transmission service cost?

    It would be a good idea to get prices on OEM fluid only, and getting a quote for the same service done at a local reputable shop to compare with the dealer's pricing. As far as I know, there is nothing unique about the process to drop the pan, replace the filter, and refill with new fluid.

    Oil change schedules at low mileage

    I'm in the habit of doing an "early" first oil change. After that I'd do it yearly, or twice a year depending on mileage.

    Seat position for long drives

    I'd highly recommend starting with Mazda's driver seat adjustment process, found here: https://owners-manual.mazda.com/gen/en/cx-5/cx-5_8hd5ee18k/contents/03010207.html It's a bit tedious to go through the motions, but I did this when I got my first CX-9 in 2018 and it worked wonders for me. I...

    Mazda App - What it can and can't do?

    Wish I could answer these questions for you but I have not subscribed to Connected Services and don't plan to. I have the MyMazda app though, and while going through it I found that there is a tire pressure section. On the "Service" tab, scroll up to open the Health Report. Under the Health...

    Exterior wheel arch molding/trim fell off on highway

    Most cost-effective way to get a replacement is probably going to be removing it from a wrecked CX-5 at an auto parts recycler or a junkyard "Pick 'n Pull". Outside of that I would consider getting the part brand new from a dealership so that you can avoid any potential headaches with shipping...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Keep in mind that some people prefer not to deal with the hassles of tire kickers, serial test drivers, hard negotiators, waiting for credit applications to go through, scam artists, and so on. In the right circumstances, it may be worth missing out on a couple grand to avoid all of that and...

    2026 Mazda CX-5: Who’s actually getting one?

    Jeez that's annoying. That's the first thing I usually do as well. With my current car, they plastered a vinyl decal of their dealership name across the rear windshield. Thankfully it was easy to remove myself.
