    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    Yeah, but cmon city mileage is city mileage. It's short trips and stop and go. 15l per 100km is to much of a difference. My cx9 was older and got the advertised mileage for the most part.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    That's the issue as well as the car doesn't get to operating temp I think. What should the thermostat reading be at full operating temp? 100 degrees celsius?

    hey guys, need the experts to chime in! single digit mileage!!

    Just want to let you guys know it looks like the mileage is getting worse. I think i will be in the 7s this tank if thats possible. I feel like mazda should call me and tell me how its truck can get 7mpg driving like an old lady. I don't smell a rich condition and obviously it can't be good...

    hey guys, need the experts to chime in! single digit mileage!!

    Hey guys, well went through another tank and almost the same mileage, 248kms on 67 liters, so 27liters/100 kms. Dead on at 8.7mpg, last tank was 8.8mpg. Even if i did the plugs/filter, i might and i say MIGHT get maybe 10-20% better mileage which would maybe put me at alittle above 10mpg. No...

    hey guys, need the experts to chime in! single digit mileage!!

    Yeah it has 10% ethanol, but the gas here is pretty crappy compared to the gas i get when i visit my family back in Philly. Im going to change the filter, last change was around 20,000 miles ago. Tire pressure is good all around. It just seems for such a drastic fuel consumption, it would...

    Hey guys, getting my winter tire package together? i see some guys run 18s or 17s?

    I am planning on 17s since they are cheaper and usually smaller wheel, better snow traction. Im getting them studded as well. It will be a 17.7x5 rim, is there any problems with brake clearing? I would think Tirerack would say its a nonfit if true, but i want to hear from the owners. Thanks...

    Saving fuel on CX9

    This time i put 14.9 gallons in, however it wasn't topped off and i probably could have put in another 2-3 gallons. Ill know next tank when i fill it to the top and then see after a full tank. I do not let it idle before i drive it. I coast to the stop signs and lights. It was 80 bucks worth...

    Saving fuel on CX9

    Well, the problem is. My job is only 4km(little over 2 miles). It is all stop signs and lights and i never get out of 4th maybe 5th gear. It is basically the worst case scenario. However i got the car back in July i was getting around 218 miles per tank. This tank i can almost watch the...

    Hey guys, picked up 2008 cx9 GT. Having issue with the power tailgate and smart key?

    Basically the smart key card opens and locks the doors normally with the press of a button. The problem is the stupid Tailgate doesn't want to open no matter what. It might open maybe once in 20 tries. The truck came with two smart keys, but the other i think has a dead battery since it...

    Advice on windows going down automatically when shutting the door randomly?

    I'm looking at a 2008 GT and as i took it for a test drive and parked the car the front windows went down half way after i closed and locked the car. The next time they went down all the way and no i didn't hit the unlock and hold it. Also the mazda remote starter would turn the car on and...

    Looking at buying a 2008 CX-9 GT, in a few days. Car has 73k miles (116k kms).

    It is pre certified, but the only warranty they are offering is a 5 year industrial alliance warranty for 2500. I am taking the car tomorrow to a mechanic i trust to look the truck over. Now the only thing i saw visually was rusted brake calipers, but it isn't a deal breaker. I am a bit...
