    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Took it to a wand wash to get most of the muddy junk off the car, then finished with a waterless wash in the driveway. Wheels still need a good scrub but I'll be swapping them over soon anyway.

    Rolled Lucky 7s as I pulled into my driveway this weekend.

    CX-5 Owner ages?

    I'll contribute to the minor offtopic banter.. the "bad apple" that many of you are familiar with from other forums also had a very brief stint here. I think he only made it a couple of weeks before he was banned for the same behaviour he has on the other forum (where I believe he's actually a...

    It's a good thing your vehicle use meets the criteria for severe driving conditions ;)

    Adding gauges

    I think you'd be limited to mounting the gauges in the center console area, just below the HVAC controls, in the din where the 12v socket is. Not sure if you'll have enough room for 4 gauges there, but it's pretty much the only spot that wouldn't involve drilling into the dashboard or...

    Very interesting conversation, but it deserves it's own thread instead of cluttering up this one. Please feel free to create a new thread in the Lounge for further discussions. In the meantime, let's circle back to the thread topic.

    Amazon/eBay Viscous Coupler (for Rear Differential)

    Found this video doing a quick Google search. Looks like it can be done at home, but I don't know how much the tool costs. Depending on the cost of the tool/software, and the amount of time it might take to get everything up and running, it may be easier to just have the dealer do the...

    Bye CX-50, Hello CX-70!

    Congrats on the new car! I like the colour. Paint-matched fender and door trim really elevates the look of the car IMO

    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...
