So when did CX-5 finally get lit glove boxes. I recall a lot of complaints on earlier models for not having light in there lol.

Hey guys for all you "lights" fans out there. Check out this Vid covering the 2021 Signature lights both interior and exterior. Kind of tough to review during a test drive during daylight. This video serves that purpose. Awesome design and layout by Mazda.

Found my bottle at Cabelas in the Boating section. If it protects leather and vinyl on boat interiors exposed to salt water and sun it's good for my garaged interior. I also use it on my genuine leather couches/sofas.

You can top off with whatever DOT fluid comes stock. Be sure to reach the Max fill line and not to the top of the maser cylinder. It would only cause leaks. Don't get it on paint. That said, the dealer should've made a curtesy top off.

I like the RDX as a current leader of its class. I think the next CX-5 (CX-50) with inline 6 engine and RWD layout would be very interesting to watch.

My wife's car was rear ended. The other "insurance" paid for it. The body shop did an excellent job and even installed replacement PPF for the rear bumper.

Still got the original 3M film for nearly 9 years. I also have the newer 3M Pro. Big difference between the two. PPF in general is really forgiving in that you can use a bug sponge and it won't harm it assuming you're not putting some muscle in your scrubbing. The real difference between PPF...

Returned my Jack Stands to HF only to find they were completely out. The recall replacements were also part of the recall.......I went with 6-ton Pro-Lift T-6906D with built-in safety pins and never looked back. The welds are solid and construction is actually really good.

Brake Fluid exchange. I recommend doing it every 30k miles myself. Its not so much the brake fluid but the air trapped in the system which will cause your brakes to not work as good. Since I have the tools and experience I can literally do a flush and air out the bubbles for $50. Too bad you're...

I actually placed # stickers in the engine bay because I can never remember the correct order. Step #4 is the most important. You have to connect to a ground with no painted surfaces otherwise the battery WILL not jump start.

Yes that what I meant....the interior seemed a but too dim while driving at night. No cars honked at me since my DRL's were on I guess. So I manually turned on Headlights and interior lights were bright again.

I actually did this with a Civic back in 2010. Drove it home and during normal work commute. Decided I wanted the Accord instead. Bad decision as the Accord sucked at the time (LX model) but I liked the option to decide on my own not on the spot.

My 2016 6 has no issues whatsoever. Bright. In fact the other night I drove for 1 mile in the city before noticing my interior infotainment screen was dim.....nope... headlights were just turned off hence interior daytime mode. No excuse for Mazda for 2016 CX-5 owners.

Do they work? Yes. Should I store in car? No!!!!! Mine died while stored in car in the summer. Heat kills them. Store it in your office, home, or other cool location.

Only thing I want to do is modulate the commander knob to input addresses in the navigation search entry while creeping through stop/go traffic with my eyes up.

I would call Rock Auto and complain the part not fitting correctly/not performing. Looks like the Gates tensioner is off my list.

I highly recommend changing the water pump at the same time if financially possible at that mileage. If not then no big deal.

Recently got Costco membership. When the time comes I'll get their Interstate Battery (U.S.). That's said, I topped off the existing battery with distilled water to prolong life. One good upgrade I keep forgetting to do is a the "Big 3 Upgrade". Essentially upgrading the tiny but sufficient...

120k miles report: Over the summer my 2013 CX-5 had its first real issue in 8 years of ownership. The AC wasn't blowing cold air. I had my mechanic change the 2 valves (similar as bike tire valves) in the engine bay and added new freon. $114 later and the AC has been good since. Today on my...

First time I attempted to jump start CX-5 it wouldn't do so.......I then placed the negative jumper cable to the passenger side on an unpainted metal block and it jump started right away.
