    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Had PPF installed on the front bumper, top trim in front of hood, headlights and outside mirrors. I also had the front windows tinted with 30% ceramic film. Oh, and I bought and installed a cell phone holder that fits between the two a/c vents. It actually looks fairly decent and it works great.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Thanks AD! Just bought it today after looking at the Tiguan, CRV, and new Escape. I think it was simply the best value of what I looked at, and I couldn’t see spending more for less...simply to be getting a “premium” nameplate.

    Tow hook cover fell off bumper

    I had the rear cover plate on my GTI *come off*. I bought a new unpainted replacement cover and then painted it myself with paint purchased from a company called Automotive Touchup paint. It came out fine and wasn*t too expensive...although much cheaper than having a body shop paint it.

    CX-5 New (OEM) Tires Question

    Please explain how stating that a mediocre Toyo tire is sub-par insults you. I*m sorry that you did not know that Toyo (A23, A36) tires consistently receive ratings/scores below average...but they do.

    CX-5 New (OEM) Tires Question

    Hi Folks...I have been reading all that I can about the CX-5s as I will be buying a new small SUV soon. As a self confessed tire snob, I have no desire to drive a vehicle with Toyo tires.

    Coolant Boiling Normal?

    And what happens when the car overheats is that the seal inside the radiator cap gets pushed up. Once it gets pushed up higher than the overflow outlet coolant escapes and travels into the overflow tank. When the car cools back down the rubber seal extends back down into the radiator neck and...
