MSRP $44,135 (Machine Gray signature with some options) Dealer Discount $3000 Mazda Rebates $1750 0.9% financing over 60 months. Could have done better on rebates ($3250) on a cash purchase but I wanted the .9%. I did not shop around much.

It’s not OEM but functions just like it with auto lock/unlock. It even looks like the oem but no Mazda logo. I also opened it up and it’s by a a different manufacturer.

Turned out to be a bad purge valve. Ended up just selling the car to the dealer.

Google for Car Keys Express. It was a van parked in front of Costco when I overheard the rep talking to another customer. I had been having an annoying issue with the OEM where the signal is weak and the car would pick up my wife’s fob but not mine if she’s standing outside and I’m sitting in...

Now, I got a P0171. The engine is sputtering or racing. WTF? Time for that new Bimmer the wife keeps talking about.

I’ve had a P0456 on and off for several months now. Had it checked out by an independent mechanic and the dealer with no real root cause. The independent mechanic tried to do a smoke test which resulted in a bunch of fault codes which the dealer eventually reset. The dealer also did a pressure...

I got mine through Costco for $260 programmed. Non-oem but looks identical without the logo. Works great

I would still stop on a catastrophic tire failure though. The wheel was smoking by the time she got home.

Yeah…in hindsight, I prolly should have gone over some basic safety stuff with her. She was like… I can’t stop on an expressway. I had to keep going. 😩

My better half drove about 20 miles with a flat. She has never experienced a flat before so she thought she was being chased by a helicopter (these were her words, not mine). The sidewalls were completely shredded. I need to have the rear diff checked out once the tire has been replaced.

So Costco did re-imburse me for 80% of the 1 tire cost. They recommended I replace all 4 but CC2’s were on backorder. I knew Bridgestone Weatherpeak were a decent alternative but I really like the CC2’s as I weather tested them already up in Tahoe. The tech did mention I had 8/32 left. So I...

Apologize if this has been answered already…I searched but didnt find the answer. Got a flat and trying to decide whether I should replace all 4 or just the 2 rear. I have 20k miles on this set of 4 crossclimate2’s. The tires have been rotated every 7500 miles so the wear should be pretty even...

I think you need to move. :)

Yeah...this is the main concern. A lot of people complain about the exhaust touching the hitch with a lot of models. It appears it’s not a problem with the cx-5. Over the next couple of years, we will be adding a scamp trailer and whaly boat/trailer to our fleet. We can tow both in our crv but...

I’m looking at curt and draw-tite. Leaning towards draw-title at the moment.

anyone noticed excessive vibration after a hitch install? This happened with my 2013 cr-v. Trying to avoid it.

I actually liked the color. I still think the extras were worth the price difference. Clearly, majority of cx-5 owners do not agree though. But that also makes me feel exclusive like the Honda Crosstour owners. ;)

Ahh. That makes sense. I did notice GTR seems to be a lot more popular. @dougal, I’m in Northern California. Several salesmen told me Signatures are not moving as well as other trims. I checked local inventories for about a month before focusing on the Signature and all the dealers had several...

Interesting point. I do notice that there are some signs of lack of refinement for the one we have. Ticking sounds when idling (fuel pump). Ticking sound when adjusting the temperature. Easy staining of the leather. Lines of the car are more susceptible to door dings. Favorites getting wiped...

The local dealers had a lot of sigs in their inventories. I asked about it and most of them admitted they were having trouble selling them. We looked at the rdx and glc300 and it was a no brainer to go with the Cx-5 sig. I thought the rdx advanced was the better car but not $15k better. The...
