    Cylinder deactivation reliability, issues and how it works?

    Just bought a 2025 CX-5 S-preferred with Cylinder Deactivation. Concerned with long term reliability of CD. I know this topic has been discussed quite a bit on forum. Hopefully Mazda has perfected their CD system since 2018 roll out. Would like to hear from owners with high mileage ( over 50K )...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I did not want a 26 due to the large touch screen dash display and lack of manual controls for almost everything. I believe it's a safety issue having to look at screen to adjust audio, temp, fan, etc. while driving. Other than that and a price increase, I'm sure the 26 is still a high quality...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Matt, You are correct, I did not factor in the $1,500 customer cash. So I did pay $31,500 total OTD. I will make correction on my original post. Oh well, I thought I got a super deal, I guess not so much.

    Electronic Parking Break Malfunction 2021 CX-5

    Thank you "whoolian05" for your in depth reply. The EPB warning on my vehicle has gone away(for now). I have stopped using the EPB. My battery is original, over 3 yrs.old. I am going to replace the battery as you did. Probably should replace it anyway due to age . Thanks to all who replied to my OP.

    Racing Beat Exhaust on 2024 CX-5 AWD?

    I went ahead and installed the Racing Beat Power Pulse exhaust on my 2024 CX5 Carbon NA. No surprises as I had same exhaust on my 2021 Carbon. Nice tone, no obnoxious drone. 4" tips look great. Also installed Red Line hood struts and K&N drop in air filter. Only difference from 2021 is this one...

    Has anyone put a Racing Beat Power Pulse axle back exhaust on a 2024 CX-5 AWD NA? If so, can you post pics. I would like to see how far the exhaust tips stick out through cut outs in the bumper. Thank You.

    Same thing here, I scraped up outer mirror cover on my 2021 CX5 Carbon. Searching for replacement cover in jet black.

    DIY CX-5 Battery Installation

    Installed Walmart Everstart Maxx Group 35 N, 640 CCA yesterday on my 2021 CX 5 Carbon. After removing cables, I removed the insulation sleeve which made it easier to tip up & lift out battery. I also used a 14" battery strap ( Amazon) that made it much easier to lift out battery. Wire brushed...

    DIY CX-5 Battery Installation

    Went to Costco today (SW Florida). Service tech said Interstate does not have a battery specified for a 2021 Mazda CX5 NA. Same thing at Sams Club, No Duracell listed for my vehicle. They both had Group 35 batteries for 2018, 19, 20 and 22 model years but not 2021. Seems a bit odd. Anyone else...
