So I traded in my 2013 cx-5 gt last week for a 2014 rav4 xle(middle of the road rav). My main concern was the stalling issue that mazda wouldn't help me with. But on top of that, I've just never gotten to like the throttle response of the cx-5. IMO, it had none. It seemed to either lug along in...

Thanks to everyone for all the help with my cx5 over the time I've been here. It really is a great car, but I could not get used to the anemic throttle response in my 13. It just seemed so unpredictable to me and bordered on unsafe in certain circumstances. It's had its issues here and there and...

Does anyone know off hand how to do a factory reset of the nav system and also if anything has to be done to unlink my tomtom account from the nav system?

Anyone else in in winter climates notice kind of a grinding sound when spinning on ice? I notice it only when accelerating on total glare ice and the traction control light flashes. I get this brief grinding sound.

Is anyone else finding that their tpms keeps going off after changing to winter wheels despite several correct attempts at a reset? It happened last year and this. I reset it in the garage this morning on flat level ground before driving and 5 km later it went off again. All tires are at 34 psi...

I park in a parkade at work. Often i go on road trips and set my gps while i have no signal in the parkade. I left today and drove for almost 10 km before pulling over, still searching for gps signal and still showed i was in the parkade. Turned the car of and back on and it locked on...

Its the one thing i really think should have been carried over from the concept cx5. I hate when people bling out with lots of chrome, or stainless in this case, but its subtle and blends well with the grill chrome. The all black plastic trim just looked cheap to me. They round out the front end...

Please, HOW? It doesn't matter how careful I am I always get some on the trim and it is almost impossible to get off. It's time for another polish/wax and there is still some residue from the last time. Any tips?

What is your cx-5 starting like, not plugged in, in temperatures colder than -20C? I started mine this morning on the first -30 day(-20 in the garage) and it started pretty slowly and rough. Kind of concerned it won't be that stellar of a winter starter. All the cars I've ever had prior started...

....other than hhaahahahahhahaaa, and they must be joking. "The first impression of this car was good. Front visibility! Nimble and quick, I had to check the specs to see it had no turbo." (uhm) http://www.greeleygazette.com/press/?p=21907

I got my first oil change at mazda and there was a gasket on the invoice. What is this gasket? I assume the filter comes with the gasket already on the filter like all other filters in existence. The reason I ask is, I got my oil change from another shop yesterday. They got the oil and filter...

Not much I like here but, some people might appreciate and get some ideas from these.... http://paultan.org/2013/01/02/mazda-cx-5-two-specials-for-the-tokyo-auto-salon/

So my dealer says to keep my car under warranty I have to follow schedule 2 for oil changes. This seems pretty excessive, and costly. Which is why they do it I am sure. Schedule 2 states oil change every 8,000km OR every 4 months, which ever comes first. For synthetic oil 4 months is nothing and...

Rear wheel caliper spacing... Front wheel spacing, best pic I could get with cell phone nearing dark....It's got about half an inch of room. Dirty car....

I was just wondering how the cx-5 gas/petrol has been starting for those who have been through a winter? What temps was it getting down to? It gets to -35C at times mid winter where I'm from and it already started kind of odd this morning with the idle loping at -1C. Thanks.

Does anyone else have their lock/unlock chirp work intermittently? Mine only seems to chirp when it wants to. It is set to high through the vehicle section of the info center and hasnt been changed. The lights will always flash but it only chirps half of the time at random. Does a lack of a...

Has anyone put any sort of bug screen behind the honeycomb grill to protect the rad fins? After just a few hiway trips i already have some damaged fins from bugs. Any tips on where or how to mount a screen between the grill and rad?

I just checked my oil and it smells like gas. Can someone please check your oil and tell me if it has a gassy smell? For your own good, and mine. Fortunately I have an appointment set up with mazda on saturday to just check that everything is ok. Something my dealer apparently does for every new...
