    CX-5 Chrome Grill Lip

    The lip continues into the headlights, how are you going to put black tape in there? I wanted to blue pin stripe the lip like I did around the tail lights but the dealer claims that the headlight do not come apart. Sorry I couldn't open ebay at work and thought you were talking about the lower lip.

    performance upgrade

    The stock muffler's sound does leave some room for improvement BUT it's a 4 cyl and is never going to scare kids and puppies like a V-8 can. After market doesn't mean better made or even better performance. I used to sell these for a living and once put a big name exhaust system on my Mustang...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    We had a good rain last night and it washed all of the pollen off but I still needed to vacuum out the inside and wipe it down to get the yellow pollen off everything (black interior) from driving with the windows open :( Took the cabin filter out and banged it to get out the loose dirt and bugs.

    CX5 Air Conditioning and Hot Weather

    The A/C is definetly better in my CX-5 than it was my CX-7 but being black that would have put a bigger load on it.

    2013~2016 CX-5 Headlight low beams ineffective for distance lighting

    There is going to be a horizon no matter which brand halogen bulb you buy, the only real difference is life. On my CX-7 I settled on SilverStars. On LI you probably can aim those lights alittle higher because you won't be cresting many hills out there blinding oncoming drivers. My CX-5 has the...

    When the wheels spin to clean your doors will lock, I hope you have the keys handy :)

    Closing Windows Issues

    My 2007 CX-7 gave you 30 seconds to close the windows after shut down or until my wife opened her door :(, hate this on the CX-5 but I am learning. Yes hitting start twice works too.

    Are you getting the 430 miles range claimed by Mazda after filling up?

    I'm driving a 2.5L with AWD and the best I've done is 435 miles on a tank but then my wife can see the gauge on the CX-5 which she couldn't on the CX-7 and she doesn't like it getting that low. Plus I think that day we were heading across the Pinelands and the next station was probably 10 miles.

    New CX-5 Likes/Dislikes

    When I was a parts manager for a British/French/Italian car dealer in Princeton we had a sign behind the service desk; "$5.00 to explain anything covered in the owners manual" It was amazing how many paid it including machanics from other shops.

    New CX-5 Likes/Dislikes

    Dislikes, My CX-7 gave you 30 seconds to close the power windows after you turned off the car. The CX-7 told you what gear you were in, miss those.

    CX-5 Photos - Share your shots with us!

    Well the Mazda Furia probably used LED's or light tape, I just used 1/8" reflective blue tape around the taillights and across the lift gate. I was thinking of outlinning the grill like the red tape on a GTI, I had done that on my CX-7 but I seem to remember a state law against reflective tape...

    Tried a little Furai effect only on the rear. My wife thinks it looks like a Verizon vehicle, Can you see me now? Haven't decided weather to leave it on or peel it off.

    Introducing the All-New 2014 Mazda6

    When I totaled my CX-7 a Mazda6 wagon was what I wanted as a replacement but alas like some other fine Mazda toys they won't sell them stateside :( If they had ever made the RX-01 that would have been the replacement for my wifes car.
