    Mazda 2.5 gasoline engine and high octane fuel

    Let me preface this post by saying that I was a skeptic when people posted that the CX-5 performed "better" with high octane fuel when used in a non-modified engine. So I sent a message to Mazda North America regarding the use of high octane fuel in the North American 2.5l 13:1 compression...

    LED Lowbeam headlights

    Now that the nights are getting longer I have had more time to get accustomed to the LED low beams on the CX-5 and I cant help but feel that the beam distance doesnt go as far as other vehicles weve owned. I can see much further with my 2010 Accord, running standard halogen bulbs, than I can...

    Winter tires acquired

    After doing about 2 months of research on a set of winter tires, I decided to go with the Michelin X-ice xi3. I went with size 215/65/17 mounted on steel wheels. Going for function over style. These tires score high on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports testing, coupled with the experience of...
