    POLL: How many miles a year do you average on your CX-5?

    Used to have a 30 mile round trip commute and was on track to do about 13-14k miles a year (with some typical longer road trips). Then we moved in May and my commute is now 6 miles round trip. Since moving, I haven't even put a full 2,000 miles on it. On track to do probably 5-6k a year now.

    Question about driver side window on a brand new vehicle

    Another CX-5 owner had this problem on the Mazda Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1541413606071616/?ref=br_tf I can't figure out how to link to the specific posts but here are the copied and pasted posts, you can search for them on the FB page using CTRL+F if you want to read...

    All about CX-5 longevity

    I also use exclusively Mazda Moly oil. Never put anything else in. Zero oil consumption. Only at 15 months and 12k miles though. I'll never understand why dealers do what OP described. The service manager at the dealer I bought my car from back in Alexandria, VA (Brown's Alexandria Mazda) tried...

    Mazda Customer Service success

    I contacted Mazda Customer Service today via chat on their website as I wanted to find out where the heck my dealership survey went. I never received it and it's been nearly a full year since I took delivery of my CX-5. The representative was very receptive although he said that the dealer...

    How long for cold a/c?

    My A/C gets cold within 30 seconds to 1 minute of turning the car on, even if it was sitting in the hot sun. Granted, it doesn't get much above 90 degrees here.

    Who is still loving their CX-5?

    Yes! I look forward to driving it every day to work and actually wish my new commute was a bit longer (it is just shy of 3 miles one-way!).

    2016 Grill vs. 2013-2015

    That's not bad. I'm going to wait a few months and ask my local body shop guy (who did my recent repair) if he can do it.

    CX-5 Photos - Share your shots with us!

    Unfortunately, I'm in West Virginia and definitely can't do a 6,000 mile road trip for a new grill. Looks great, though! Very jealous.

    Thanks, I checked out the website but am concerned about self-installation. What did you have to pay for the custom grill?

    Please Check your Cabin Air Filter

    +1 my Mazda Tribute did not have a cabin air filter at all. So I'm less worried about the cabin air filter in the CX-5, lol. The lack thereof never got past the cheap oil change places.. they were ALWAYS trying to sell me one.

    Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioner

    Well, it is listed on the window sticker that was on the car. I don't remember what exactly it said (window sticker is at home in a file cabinet), but it definitely has something regarding emissions.

    Congrats! I see you're in DC - I recently left it! Be careful with those crazy drivers! I had a lady in a Honda Pilot swipe my driver's side mirror on 18th St NW turning onto Penn Ave back in January.

    Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioner

    Wrong. I bought my car in Northern Virginia but the configuration/color I wanted meant that they had to get it from a dealer in nearby southern Maryland. The car is CARB compliant whereas if I had bought one off of my Virginia dealer's lot, it would not have been.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    So, back in March I got into a bit of a fender bender when I thought I had space but definitely did not. Swiped an older silver Toyota Camry on the way to work one morning while both of our lanes were turning right onto a busy downtown DC street. The other driver (much older lady) pulled up next...

    RDX vs CX-5?

    I agree. The Outback just doesn't do it for me. If anything, I had briefly looked at the XV Crosstrek. The styling is much better, I think.

    Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV vs Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 for dedicated winter tire?

    I'm leaning toward the Blizzak DM-V1s as they're a great price on Tire Rack right now. Apparently they're doing a close out sale as the DM-V2s roll in. Can anyone compare these over the Blizzak WS80s and/or Nokians?
