    They do here in Canada. I got mine for almost 50% off too.

    Windshield Washer Fluid recommendation?

    I don't know if the washer fluid comes factory filled from Japan or if my dealer filled the tank once it got here (logic says it's likely filled here at the dealer as I know the vehicles are delivered with just enough gas to get them from the factory to the ship from the ship to the car-carrier...

    Mirror folding failure

    Every single car extended warranty I have purchased has NEVER paid for itself, with the exception of assurance in my own brain. Not once across 3 vehicles I've bought new from a dealer. My Mazda6, I had a 400$ repair done after factory warranty that was covered, but that left me with about...

    2019 CX-5 low, rear red reflectors: Replace w/ lighted brake/tail units?

    Just be forewarned - I know here in Ontario Canada, there is a minimum and maximum # of headlamps and colouration when dealing with stuff like this. In some jurisdictions, this could be illegal and could net you a ticket, despite the fact that it is, indeed, much safer!

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    80.7 billion dollar bailouts from 2008 to 2014. Money well spent on companies making boring uninnovative cars, filling dealership lots full of product that doesn*t move fast. Only NOW are the domestic mfgrs innovating. And people are concerned about incentives to buy vehicles that will...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    How is it possible that Edmunds didn*t mention Tesla once in that entire article you pointed to and my post has Consumer Reports reporting exactly what I said? Lmao Again, there*s a bias out there.

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    To be fair, that video is from 2017 - A LOT has changed at Tesla in 2 years. Have there been MAJOR issues with warranty and parts shortages? Yes, but the bloody company is still a start-up, trying to survive in a market that has been rescued OVER and OVER by our governments, through bail-out's...

    Brake Fluid Drain/Fill, Mazda dealer says NO

    I just had my first service at my dealer (car only has 9000km on it), and it blew me away when I asked the guy to have them check my transmission fluid level because several people here on this forum reported lower-than-normal levels in their transmissions. I was told "its a sealed unit, there...

    Siri always brings up Apple maps instead of Google maps

    That's because you're in the "Apple Ecosphere" when using Carplay on iOS. If you ask Siri for directions on your iPhone separately, she'll pass you through to Apple Maps as well. No way around it my friend.

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    They did - My experience was hideous to say the least. The oil change and tire rotation ended up costing 104$ Canadian which is just unbelievably expensive. I'm going to do my 2 first-year oil changes there to establish that I'm regularly changing the oil, and then bail and go to the...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    The more I look at it, it looks like a CX30???

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    that's funny, cuz that's counter to almost every single Tesla owner I've come across. I haven't met a single one that doesn't love their car. All of them say it has completely reinvigorated their driving experience, so.. that's odd you feel that way! But, alas, to each his own.

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    Saw an article today you all might be interested in. https://electrek.co/2019/08/16/mazda-electric-car-spotted-testing-cx-5/ I'm just waiting for Tesla prices to reach a more manageable level here in Canada. I was hoping the CX5 I just got would be my last gas vehicle. Thoughts? PS, I hope...

    2018 CX-5 Low Speed Transmission Hesitation/Jerk/Lurch

    Took my Sig in for its first oil change this past Thursday. Had the conversation with the Service Advisor about my experiences with the herky-jerky low-speed issue. Asked him (based on other people's suggestions here on this forum) to have them check the fluid level, and he straight up told me...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    My dealer straight up did NOTHING for me when I suggested there might be an issue with the antenna/Sirius XM module in the car on Thursday. Anyone know of a GOOD reliable dealership in Toronto?

    Turbo Logo?

    IN Canada, the SG badge doesn't exist at all. In fact, if someone in the US was willing to look into how much it would cost to get one from a Mazda dealer down there, I'd be more than willing to send the cash for it + postage!

    2019 CX-5 Signature, Seat discomfort?

    I don't find my Signature seats to be terribly uncomfortable - they're not 'plush' like some people might like, but I'm a fairly big guy, so firmer seats are better for me.

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I can report that since updating to the latest version of the software I have had only 1 occurrences of this again. And.. lo and behold, it was after a rain. We haven't had much rain here this summer, so it's been hard to diagnose. My car goes in for its first oil change this week, so I'm...

    Center armrest too short

    I most certainly do NOT have that. I'm almost 90% sure that that isn't on my vehicle. There's a few things disappointedly NOT on the Canadian model, including: - Rear backup sensors - 3D Camera (I know, it sucks, but when our neighbours to the south get it and we don't, I just don't...
