    2017~2024 Canada Diesel CX-5 Delayed?

    While at the dealer getting the 60 month scheduled maintenance done on the '13 I requested a valuation be done on it. I was looking for ballpark trade-in/sell-for numbers on it, as my brother had expressed an interest in buying if from me in the event I replaced it. I thought fair the mid-point...

    Adding After Market CD PLayer/Changer to 2017 GT - Possible?

    I drive a '13 and am giving serious consideration to the '17/'18 in the fall when it comes available in diesel. I have noted with disappointment the lack of a CD player/changer even as an option in the '17 GT. I am wondering if anyone can write to whether a direct connect of an after market...

    16.5 CX-5 With Driver Seat Memory in Canada

    All: Got a Mazda drum-up-business email yesterday containing a link to the CX-5 16.5 specs. The GT will feature two setting memory for the driver's seat. Sure, there are other minor changes but this is the only one I wrote to Mazda requesting. It is the only niggle I have with my 2012 build...

    What the "Driving thru the Deep Snow to the Cliff Top" Commercial Never Mentions

    What the "Driving thru the Deep Snow to the Cliff Top" Commercial Never Mentions So, we get 20" of snow during Tuesday - a record for both the date and a single day record for the city. By Wednesday morning there is still no plow on my street but there are appointments to make so off I drive...

    Dask Speaker Upgrade for '13

    The old ears of this old fart could use a minor audio upgrade in my '13 GT with BOSE sound to improve the image and high frequency production - desirable as this aging body begins to turn on me. To this end I though replacing just the dash speakers would be a relatively inexpensive improvement...

    What Tire Pressure When Tires Resized?

    All: Allow me to display my ignorance for all to see. Being a "manual reader" I was surprised to see here that Mazda recommends 4lbs MORE pressure than that found on the door jam sticker when using winter tires. I went through all last winter missing those lbs. I first checked the manual - and...

    Winter Treads

    This is likely not the time you would be thinking of it, but as I was at my tire shop for the MX-5 yesterday anyway, I asked about winter rubber/steel rims for my CX-5 GT due for late August delivery. Here in the Great White North I have always driven three seasons on all-season and full winter...
