RE: age..Battery life; I know I rechecked my maintenance rcpts to be sure! It's why i initially asked if I should go w/a maza battery. miles; I work from home so no commute & COVID played a part in low miles too. I've been very happy with this rig., first MAZDA.

Thanks for all the recs! I went with walmart Everstart Maxx they installed today. I have noticed some of my settings went awry or back to factory setting: headlights; auto setting, my dash lights now dim to darkness when headlights are turned on...and likely other stuff I haven't noticed yet...

Thx, but I am not a member..

I need a new battery for my 2016.5 GT AWD CX5. I am replacing the original battery, so this is my first new battery experience. Should I go with the "Mazda" battery @ my dealer 2yr replacement warranty / 84MO (prorated) warranty $250, includes labor. If I buy on my own, what brands & specs...

I have a 2016.5 GT, 2.5 months old. I've noticed the fuel filler neck is slightly loose/wiggly when I fuel up/ insert the fuel nozzle. Seems a bit 'flimsy'. By comparison, none of my other cars' filler necks moved at all. Is this normal with newer/modern cars? Or should I have this checked...

Whoo Hoo! Just did an epic solo trip I90 Seattle to New England & Back with many Nat'l Park stops. Super happy with my new ride, early days aside! I had zero issues with the car, as one would hope in a new vehicle. I bought this CUV (my first) for its utility & I like to drive...

Just returned from a Xcountry trip, and I used your sleeping platform design. It was perfect!, thank you for sharing this great design & idea!

Yup, "breaking wind" (haha) by opening other windows/sunroof did the trick. Thanks everyone.

I have a GT with factory Rails. I'm looking for crossbars. I've never had a roof rack before, so this is new to me. Will the OEM bars suffice, or are there better but not crazy $$$ alternative options? It's just me & my boyfriend, no kiddo stuff:) Here's what I anticipate common usage for...

Is there really no option to enter a place name on this Nav system? Example: Bud's Burger, Tyler Park, Etc.. I rarely know a St Address or "Home" #. POI / Nearby/Search doesn't seem to work for this either - but I'm still green. Manual wasn't much help. Seems bassackwards to me; if you're...

Thanks Everyone, I'll fiddle with various window adjustments.

(unamused) The one 'thing' I did not test drive. Is it me, my sensitive hearing or that I have not had a new car since 1999? The shuddering, high pitched noise the wind makes when one/both rear windows are down. This is such a drive drag (excuse the pun), for me. I noticed this bcz I have a...

Thanks! I didn't know IGN mode was different than ACC, and what you explained about IGN mode vs ACC. Really Good to know! I searched the manual for a specific cause and do not recall seeing a IGN mode referred to there. Def. new to pushbutton start operator error.

Hmm. Here's what occurred: Let me know if I may have a weak new battery or if you still think this is 'strange' & I should have it checked out. thx. 1) Car in driveway, I turned on ACC mode to roll down the windows - to air the new car smell out a bit. I do not remember if I turned acc off...

LOL. On day 7 of new ownership, I unknowingly left the cx5 in ACC mode; all day! Glad to have roadside assist - to my driveway, for a jump. (My car was parked nose in so my cables were not long enough). Roadside assist got to me in 20 minutes - nice! Did I break a newbie record? My...

Not yet. Judging from the pic of your vehicle (if that's yours) we're on opposite ends of the mod spectrum, ha! For the next month or so, I'll ride to get used to it as is - break it in, figure out what I like & what I don't. I'm not one to modify my cars, but for this one I may dabble down...

The research I did from this forum really helped me decide on the CX5 and with negotiating on price! This is my first 'new' car. The last car I bought ('97 Nissan Altima, manual GXE) was in 1999!!. Bought it for 9K, sold it yesterday for $1800K. (the car was a maintenance free TANK!) Suffice...
