    Window Rattle?

    i had this issue on both front driver and passenger windows. if it was open 1-2" it would rattle. tech contacted mazda and i think he put some type of felt or weatherstrip along the window track in the door. afterwards the windows would go up and down a little slower than usual but no rattle...

    CX-5 Trunk Area Rattle

    yeah, cover is fine. flimsy. it's just plastic with no sort of foam or cushion behind it. it just hovers over the metal part of the frame. there's a gap but not the most practical design because if you get hit in the back, I can see alot of damage being done. Usually see some thick foam on the...

    CX-5 Trunk Area Rattle

    turned out to be the bumper. there's two brackets holding the bumper and one fastener was loose. I guess when I was loading something i must have pushed it in to the point where it loosened the bracket and fastener. bent it away from the vehicle and adjusted the fastener so it doesn't wiggle and...

    CX-5 Trunk Area Rattle

    I cannot get a fix for my trunk rattle. I removed all the interior panels and applied a ton of foam tape where there is metal to plastic contact, I adjusted the lift gate latch as shown on the tsb, checked the license plate, removed all items from the trunk, checked the spare and spare tire...

    Trading my 2013 For a 2014?

    definitely shop around for your trade in price. i was appraised about 1k below kbb at 2 dealers and went to another and they went 900 above kbb to get the deal done.

    What MPG are you getting???

    22-24 on my commute to work (all local roads 7-10miles max). on the highway 27-31. combined 25-28. '14 Touring awd. I drive pretty conservative. When I push it, all those will drop a few mpgs.

    New CX-5 Headunit Master Thread

    DO NOT buy those junk units from china. I was dumb enough to buy one years ago on another CUV and it sucked. screen was dim as hell, map updates are a joke, and so unreliable. plus if you have issues, you'll have a few months of waiting/shipping it back. Go to crutchfield and spend the extra $.

    The best add on styling for CX-5 (by far)

    I like it and I would have probably bought it 15 years ago but not now. Most cx5 owners are not low 20 year olds looking to rice up their ride. Rims and leds is as far as I'd go.

    GT worth the extra cost? Having a hard time justifying it

    For me, i was stuck on a touring only because I hate leather because they suck in the summer and the 19" rims have a rougher ride than the 17s. In the end you'll have to sacrifice something whether it be the cash or added features, just like any relationship. ;) Is a GT worth 31k? Not so much...

    interior courtesy/step light install - need assistance

    I was toying with the idea of installing some footwell lighting to light up the interior and possibly running an extra light into the cargo area. Anyone have any ideas of the best way to tap into the wiring so they come on when the doors are opened? I attached the wiring diagrams but I can't...

    Edmunds.com CX-5 Long Term Review

    I find it hard getting an accurate reading on mpg mainly because the avg drops so much when the car sits idle on startup. On the highway I was getting high 20's and sometimes low 30's and low to mid 20's in the city on my awd '14. Right now on half a tank it says 21 which is kind of low on 50/50...

    Car won't start

    My radio/ground issue didn't happen until a few thousand miles into owning it. I would mention the parasitic draw to them and see if they can find it. It's a pain in the ass to do so they'll probably talk around it but worth a try.

    Improvements that are needed on CX-5

    Reclining rear seats, more lit buttons, courtesy lights/better cargo light and a rear camera that doesn't get blurred from rain would be great. Other than that, it's a solid attractive CUV.
