    2023 CX-9 Carbon Edition selling without hands free lift gate

    I saw a thread on the CX-5 regarding some features being left out of current models because of the chip shortage. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention because I discovered today that many of the the 2023 Carbon Editions that are selling are selling with a $50 Hands Free Lift Gate credit...

    Off Topic Car shopping experiences

    My wife and I have been holding off getting her a new ride for awhile, despite this not being a great time to buy I don't really see prices going back down. Inventory is improving and due to my mother in law needing reliable transportation we decided to go ahead and upgrade my wife's ride...

    Volume Button issue

    I've been a member here for awhile, but haven't really been active. I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5, it just passed 111,000 miles. I have had no major issues with it, though it is getting to the point where little things are going to start cropping up. The gear shifter lights have been out for...

    Fuel Injector Cleaning Service on 2014 CX-5 2.5L SkyActive-G

    I called to make my 25,000 mile service on my 2014 CX-5 Touring. The dealer asked me if I wanted to get their fuel injector service while i was there. In the past I have never actually done these cleaning services on my vehicles but in the past I owned used vehicles that I got used on the...

    Experiences with Galaxy S4 and Infotainment System

    This is a "public service" announcement so to speak. I am not sure if anyone here has brought up their experiences with the S4 before, but I thought having a thread might be helpful. For the most part I have been much happier with the S4 interacting with the Infotainment system compared to...

    Is Scotchguard safe on Mazda's Cloth Interior?

    I was going to Scotchguard my seats in the new CX-5, since they are sand cloth I want to try to protect them as much as possible but I had a friend tell me to check to make sure it was safe. I did some googling and couldn't find anything that answered for sure if it was safe. I have no idea...

    Meguiar's liqud wax -- looking for opinions and tips.

    This is my first time owning a brand new vehicle with no imperfections. I want to keep the paint looking good and I started looking at waxing options. I haven't decided yet if I want to try to wax it myself or pay someone. I have the opinions of two friends, one friend says to pay someone for...

    2014 CX-5, Pandora, and Galaxy S2. Not friends?

    Hello All: I am a down right geek, so one of the first things I did yesterday was test out the stereo. I synced my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.4). The Bluetooth streaming for audio works great, I know someone else mentioned having resume issues when they got back in the car...

    Test drove the 2014 CX-5 Touring FWD Today

    I had the day off for President's Day and decided I would go and test drive the new CX-5. They didn't have a 2014 AWD on the lot, the test drive car was FWD touring. I figured that from a driving perspective it wasn't going to matter since the AWD wouldn't kick in in the driving conditions...

    Is it better to find financing through the dealer or own your own?

    This isn't a Mazda specific question. I am just curious on the overall experience from the other people who who financed rather than paying in cash. I financed my current vehicle and left it in the hand of the dealer to find financing. At the time my credit wasn't too hot and I was naive and...

    Towing with the Mazda CX-5

    I am just curious if anyone else here has done any towing with the CX-5. Obviously there isn't much power, and I certainly wouldn't buy it if I was planning to want to really tow very much; however, I have considered over the years getting a Teardrop Travel Trailer (something like the "The...

    Bluetooth audio streaming

    I know this has been brought up on this forum, but I don't know how the moderators here feel about bumping old threads. I was watching a cnet tech video about the CX-5, and one issue that was brought up was with the Bluetooth audio streaming, in the video there was an issue when the reviewer...

    Newbie - seriously considering the CX-5

    Hello, I came across this forum while I was reading about the tech package offerings in the CX-5 and I thought I would join. I have never been a car guy, my first vehicle was a 94 Chevy Astro van that I bought from my dad and I drove it until it was not drivable and then I got a Hyundai...
