    Lube those caliper bolt pins!

    You don't put it on the pad that makes contact with the rotor. It's applied to the pins and where the pad contacts the caliper.

    So long CX5...

    I never understood this. It is perfectly fair in the eye of the purchaser. What, there is some morality cause in play when someone cross shops vehicle segments? Who are you to determine what is a fair comparison if you aren't the one making the purchase. People cross shop segments all the time...

    So long CX5...

    Congrats on the new truck. Seems like a much better fit for your needs. Our cx5 is my wife's DD and while it is plenty adequate as a commuter vehicle, I always get a slight grin driving my v6 accord.

    I almost rear ended someone with tinted rear lights once. An easy case to argue in court.

    Will adding 91 octane gas improve horse power?

    Your first paragraph is not accurate. Higher octane fuel has no more or less energy than low octane. Higher octane fuel simply better resists premature detonation which can damage an engine. This misinformation is everywhere. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/gasoline-octane-myths.html

    Out of Control Traction Control??

    The scary part begun with your second paragraph, using cruise control in the rain. The frightening part is that we have to share the road with you.

    Do other CX-5 Owners have these?

    How about retrofitting the H9 halogen bulb for more light, rather than a hid kit in a vehicle designed for halogen bulbs. These kits are full of glare to oncoming drivers.

    CX-9 fuel economy released

    I'm tempted to trade in the cx5 for this cx9. Though I will definitely sit out the first year. With a newborn, the cx5 feels cramped. Two things, first the mpg numbers are in line with the likes of Honda, Toyota and Ford, I was expecting Mazda to beat them and hit that 30mpg highway number...

    Mobil 1 0W-20: Performance or Fuel Economy?

    At $2-3 a quart, the PP is a no brainer. Ordered two jugs. My dealer uses Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 on all their Mazda's. Its what the dealer put in for our free oil change. I switched to the Mazda moly oil at $6.69 a quart to see what the fuss is about. One thing I can confirm, there is no...

    Sitting in Toyota dealership

    Regardless of your opinion, factually speaking, it changes the feel and throttle response of the vehicle. In fact, the Mazda manual states this is exactly what it does. It makes rolling acceleration much more enjoyable as the car is always revving in the power band.

    Thumping noise when braking. Sounds like a flat

    How cold is it where you are. Somethings the water vapor in the tire could freeze, causing an imbalance.

    Sitting in Toyota dealership

    what he means is, most cars don't require "quick and deliberate throttle" to initiate a downshift. The CX-5 does. It takes some getting used to. All other vehicles I owned are happy to downshift, the CX-5 holds on till the 11th hour. This is however remedied with the "sport" mode on the 2016...
