    Are my seats leather and how to clean?

    I like Gyeon cleaner , a foam product which is especially good for perforated leather and, or leatherette seats. Next, Gyeon Leather Coat protects the seating and adds a bit of slippery to the touch feel so that the seats are easier to clean. Here is a link to a set that includes bnoth the...

    I believe that for the USA market Mazda could have good sales from a compact model 2 door hatchback. For example a car a bit larger than the Mazda 2 and a bit smaller than the Mazda 3.

    Source for 2016 CX-5 Cargo Tray with "wings"?

    For my 2016 I had the rubber cargo tray. I also had the Cargo Liner: https://www.mymazdapart.com/p/Mazda_2016_CX-5/Cargo-Liner/94313417/00008KR05.html I used the cargo liner more than the rubber tray because the liner protected not only the cargo floor but also the backs of the rear seats, and...

    Suppose the dealer marked the sale price for the new 2025 Premium Plus as $32K including taxes and fees, and the trade-in value for my 2021 GT W/PP as $15K, leaving me a balance due of $17K. Is that helpful information?

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I disagree because for a trade--in-preowned-for-a-new-vehicle transaction the dealer can raise or lower the sales price, raise or lower the trade-in-value for the vehicle they are receiving etc...to meet the buyers target OTD price. The last time I bought a car without at the same time trading...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    This time around, some factors I considered meant paying a bit more than my usual trade-in-deal: 1) It was December 24th 2021 that I purchased the 2021 GT w/PP. Due to Covid there were no 22's at US dealers until I believe at least Feb-March of 2022. 2) the 2021 GT w/PP I traded-in last week as...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    When I trade in a car I am interested in the OTD price I must pay to receive the new car. So, I don't know the numbers you request, such as what the dealer assigned to my trade-in and, or MSRP, discount or not etc... In the last ten years my family and I have bought seven CX-5's and always...
