Not sure. Bought the wheels and snows at Discount Tire and they verified fitment. Probably whatever wheel width was standard for a 17” rim on a 16.5 CX-5.

Got a new set of Blizzak DMV2 tires on cheap 17” alloy wheels on the other day. The CX-5 is an absolute beast in the snow.

Were you able to enter the dongle’s WiFi password from your phone settings WiFi connection dialog?

We ‘only’ got 8 winters out of our 17” Blizzaks. Got a new set this spring on clearance for ~$60 off per tire. The CX-5 is an absolute tank in the snow with them.

Nice presentation! Everything you need to know.

You have to install updated infotainment software. I forget the needed version for wired CarPlay support, but someone here can probably provide it. After the update, the cable and plug area can be installed

Yes, from wherever the offer is best. For older cars under $10k, I’ll sell them myself on Craig’s List for even more than the best dealer offer.

I never discuss my trade in with the dealer until AFTER I’ve established a satisfactory deal. That way I know what I’m really paying. Then I have them appraise my trade in to see what they are really offering for it. I also get other offers for the old ride to keep the dealer honest. If they...

If driver assistance features are important to you, the 16.5 Adaptive Cruise does not work below ~16 mph. The 17 has full range adaptive cruise. Neither has acceptable lane centering functionality.

Baby’s got new shoes! Put on a set of Continental Cross Contact LX25’s today. The previous set, Conti True Contacts, were great tires but wore down to 4/32nds in 38k miles. With the credit from 80k mile warranty, and $110 rebate from Continental, got a real sweet deal on the new set at...

Good choice. I also would like a 450h+, but it is sooo overpriced and hard to get. The 350h is a more practical and cost-effective choice.

I had Brakes Plus do my rears about 60k miles. Pads only for $235 on sale IIRC. Not a squeak.

At least they offer the feature on one model now. Perhaps it will be added to lower trims in future years. I just don’t get why they limit such an important feature IMHO to the top of the line trim. Other brands include lane centering in all but the lowest stripper trim. The lack of it on all...

Does it now do lane centering like almost every other brand, or does it still react late to line approach causing the ping pong effect?

I wouldn’t buy tires from a dealer, period. I did once and learned the hard way. The 60k warrantied tires were down below 4/32nds at 40k miles. The dealer said ‘oh, well, contact the manufacturer to see what they’ll do.’ No thanks, life is too short to wrangle that bum steer. Since then, I buy...

I had a similar issue on a RAV4. Sounded exactly the same. The solution was to get a shielded USB to lightning cable. Totally eliminated the annoying whine.

Don’t believe the haters overblown bs. My 16.5 GT is pushing 70k miles. We recently had our first repair- replacement of the power seat wire harness for < $100. We recently completed several ‘mid-life’ services adding up to ~$1k: Transmission flush and fill, fuel injector cleaning and rear...

The drivers seat motor started screeching last week. Yesterday the cable (TK81-88-0D1) was replaced and it resolved the issue. $22 for the part, $51 for the labor and $9 for shop supplies. Mazda Extended Confidence service plan covered all but the supplies. First claim since Factory warranty...

2016.5 did.

I’m hoping for: - a design as sharp looking as the CX-90, - a width between the CX-60 & -90, and - a foot or so longer than the -60. - PHEV pricing $5k less than the -90, - with a few more miles of all-electric range - and light interior color choices like parchment or that nice brown on the...
