Well my wife is short so I only had to remove the left side and since we hardly ever have passengers I leave them both on the floor for a better rear view until I need them :) My CX-5 rides better, is quieter and gets 10 mpg better than my CX-7 but I sure miss that turbo!

But just think, in five years when the wrap starts to look like crap he can have a silver car :)

Did a 3k trip over Christmas, between the car being loaded down with gifts and scuba gear, cruising the Interstates at over 70 mph and the crappy winter gas the overall mileage fell to 29.1 Now with around town speeds and summer gas it's going back up :)

I used small sheet metal screws.

I read one of those aftermarket warranties once, all work had to be done by an ASC shop, no shade tree garage, all OEM parts, no upgrades like Rain-X wipers, LED's, etc. Considering my CX-7 went 150k without needing anything except what I had screwed up before it's violent death those...

Amber was mainly a French thing, test showed amber didn't cut the fog any better so now it's just a fashion statement. Aiming the fog lights higher will light up the fog in front of your eyes and make things worse just like putting your high beams on in fog.

This was done in the 60's on rally cars to make the speedo reading more accurate. When a dealer tried to sell me that I reminded him I'm a diver and have the equipment to test the gas mix % he moved on.

Chrysler build quality has always been an issue, I had a Dodge van I used at work and by 36k things were falling apart. The Jeep/FIAT/Alfa platform the Cherokee is built on is a big question mark. I've owned a few FIAT's in the past and worked for them six years but I think the Mazda is a...

I did blue as the carbon would still look black and my wife wouldn't go for the copper and brass steampunk look :(

I drive about double the average, my kids and grand kids are in Florida so 11 hours behind the wheel is normal. I'm 5'10" and 167 pounds. I've found raising the front all the way, lowering the rear and playing with the lumbar during the trip keeps me from getting stiff which isn't easy because...

I stuck my ezpass on the back of the sensors, no issues.

My CX-7 went over 150k with nothing happening that would have been covered by an extended warranty and would still be going if I hadn't hit a tree :( Read an extended warranty's fine print, no shade tree garage, only OEM parts which means no upgrades or you void the whole thing.

Did, the dealer replaced it with a new head but this one comes with the annoying two page legal notice, first asking if I want to share info and the second disclaimer.

Yes the brakes go full on triggering the ABS which makes them shudder, I pulled into a parking spot, the smart brake saw an overhanging tree limb and scared the crap out of my wife :)

Maybe changing it every two years but you'll want to take it out every season and bang it against a wall to get out the leaves and bugs. Easy to do!

I've noticed my front turn signal switchbacks stay on white too for awhile after I shut the car off but not the LED daylight running lights like on yours.

I didn't get a letter but when mine was in for the free oil change which cost $220 I asked if there was anyway to shut her up, every time I started up she said; "Voice control not available for the country selected" and then would say "stopping voice control" two or three times. They ordered a...

It's quieter than my CX-7 was and on that car when I switched at 50k to Nitto tires it became quieter but as the tires wore the noise returned until they were replaced again with Nitto's at 100k

Maybe they know there is another driver in the family, I would love to upgrade my wife to a MX-5 or an RX-7 but she see's right thru that :(

Normally I would prefer driving lights to fog lights but two weeks ago with snow still on the ground and with warm air rolling in viz dropped to about a 100'. Twas a dark and foggy night that the fog lights and the GPS that got me around some strange roads in the Pinelands trying to get around...
