    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    Approaching 60k miles on my 14 Touring AWD. Haven't had a single issue. I bought it in Feb of 2014 as a CPO with 9900 miles and it's been completely trouble free so for. My daily commute is about 40 miles round trip and a combination of city & highway driving.

    In the market - How are the 2014's holding up?

    55k miles on my 2014 Touring and absolutely no problems. I'm OK with the Bose sound system and the factory nav is OK (I use Waze most of the time). Bluetooth works well enough. The only thing I've done is put Conti Truecontacts on at 48k miles. That made a huge difference! My only issue is...

    New tire suggestions for 17" 2013 CX-5

    I got the TrueContacts this past winter an have been very happy with them. I'll probably put the same thing on my wife's 2015 Pilot this fall.

    Sounds crazy, but anyone have this issue? Seat moves itself...

    My 2014 Touring does the same thing. It's my only real gripe with the car. Just been living with it since the dealer can't reproduce phantom events.

    Impressions after 50K in my '14 Touring!

    That's the only other real complaint I have. I'd like to be able to adjust the thigh height independent of the butt height. Otherwise I really enjoy the car. The AWD is nice in the winter. It's not quite up to Subaru's AWD, but it gets the job done.

    Impressions after 50K in my '14 Touring!

    Yeah... it's been suggested before. But I am very careful because of how much it p*sses me off! I've read about this (possibly in this forum?) occurring with others.

    Impressions after 50K in my '14 Touring!

    So in Feb of 2014 I bought a CPO 2014 CX-5 Touring in that electric blue. It had 9900 miles and after market Katzkin leather. I asked the dealer - Suburban Mazda of Farmington Hills, MI - to add heated seats and the nav option. I paid $24500 for the car. The CPO warranty extended the...

    Piston tool?

    I just bought one like the Lisle 28600 Disc Brake Piston Tool from Autozone and it was $12. Well worth the money. I wish I had one of these years ago. Just snap it on a ratchet extension and "turny, turny, turny"!

    Continental True Contact Review

    I put the Conti Truecontacts on my '14 CX-5 Touring AWD in March. We got one or 2 decent snowfalls and they performed great! I think the ride is quieter, smoother, and better grip everywhere. My mileage hasn't really changed much. I'm probably going to put these on my wife's Pilot this fall.

    Tires for skier living in warm climate?

    I put Continental Tru Contacts on my 2014 Touring CX-5 this winter and have been very pleased with them. I'm in Michigan so the snow grip is great and the ride, handling, and low noise are excellent on the dry (or wet).

    How long do OEM tires last?

    Follow-up: With only our 2nd snow storm of the year, the new Conti's handled the snow and slush beautifully! I'm very happy with my purchase!

    How long do OEM tires last?

    I just replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2014 with the Continental True Contacts at 45k miles. I was down to the wear bars. So far with about 1000 miles on the Conti's I'm really happy. Ride is noticeably smoother and quieter.

    2016 Seat Heaters

    I have aftermarket heaters from the same place that did the Katzkin leather and they have 2 settings - hot and flame! Plus, they heat up fast! The aftermarket works so much better than my previous Subaru's, and my wife's 2015 Pilot. They also heat up your lower back.

    Trailer hitch and bike carrier

    Go with the 2" receiver. You'll have more 2" bike mount options than 1.25".

    new bluetooth audio playback options just appeared on screen

    I have a 2014 CX5 Touring with the Nav and Bose. My phone is a Galaxy S5 with 5.0 Lollipop, and my carrier is Verizon. I am able to use the Pandora function without issue over bluetooth.

    Shift indicator lights?

    It's the bulb. Had the dealer fix it while getting oil changed.

    Shift indicator lights?

    That's what I thought! Thanks for the confirmation.. It's going to the dealer for an oil change on Thursday, so I'll let them fix the light.

    Shift indicator lights?

    So here's an odd question: Are the gear shift indicator letters supposed to be illuminated? I've got a 2014 Touring with an auto trans. I looked down at the shift gate the other night and thought "shouldn't those letters light up?" Are they illuminated, or am I just noticing now?

    Katzkin Leather Seats

    My 2014 CX-5 Touring has the Katzkin leather along with after market heaters. I love them! The leather is really nice, and the heaters work faster then any I've had before. My wife's 2015 Pilot don't heat as hot or quick! My car was a CPO that the previous owner had the leather put in. I...

    Drivers seat not holding position?

    Hi everybody! Big Noob here! I've got a 2014 CX-5 Touring that has had the Katskin leather added (I love it!) and aftermarket seat heaters (great right now!). This was all performed through the dealer. Now I've got the power drivers seat - 6 way I believe - and the setting seems to "slip"...
