    Fog light install

    So since the foglight taps into the housing, could you actually attach them to each other before attaching the surround to the bumper? This would in theory allow me to install them without bumper removal

    I checked out several threads on fog light installs. However, I was wondering if anyone has installed OEM style fog lights that come with a switch like these...

    Alignment with H&R sport springs

    Are the stock springs on the CX-5's equipped with the 19" wheels shorter than the springs on the stock 17" wheels? I read somewhere they were. Wondering if getting my hands on those (if they are shorter) would improve handling.

    Alignment with H&R sport springs

    After installing this lowering spring kit, will any alignment facility be able to align the CX-5 properly without any additional hardware(i.e. adjustable cam bolts, etc.)? Considering this mod when I replace the tires in 2 months and if I bite on it I want to make sure I know the total cost...

    New tire suggestions for 17" 2013 CX-5

    I have a 2015 sport 6spd manual and I am about 5k away from needing tires. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how their replacement tires bought have affected mpg. I drive all highway for work and average 33mpg driving mostly highway. Upon reading reviews on tirerack many point out almost...

    Issues driving at slow speed in traffic

    I going to throw a wrench in this thread's findings. I have a 2015 cx-5 sport(6spd manual) and I have the same lurching problem. It lurches in low speed driving situations(crawling at about 1k-2k rpm range in first gear. I assume it has to do with the electronic throttle of the CX-5. I had a...

    cx-5 sport manual grinding noise under hard acceleration in high gear

    I have noticed for the last several weeks that when on the highway in 6th and I acceleration hard there is a grinding noise coming from the engine bay. If I downshift and get the engine into higher rpms there is no noise. Its now happens at any speed when in a high gear. It doesn't happen...

    Couple questions: Oil level on the dipstick and MPG's during cold/warm weather

    Yes. I actually wiped it twice just to make sure. I will be visiting the dealer. I also remember that I upped the tire pressure to 36, and the dealer put it back down to the factory 34. Thanks for all the replies.

    Couple questions: Oil level on the dipstick and MPG's during cold/warm weather

    I had my oil changed by a local Mazda dealership a few weeks ago. Since I got my car back I have felt like the throttle response is a bit slower, and it seems to idle a bit rougher. It may be in just in my head. It could also be because it recently got colder during the day and night around...

    Adding short ram intake for increased mpg's

    Thanks everyone. I assumed it wouldn't add mpg but I just wanted to ask. In regards to why Mazda left it out if it did increase mpg, the reasoning would be simply sound. If the engine is as loud as my last two vehicles that had short ram intakes, many buyers would be turned off of the vehicle.

    Adding short ram intake for increased mpg's

    I am interested in adding a short ram intake to my 2015 CX-5 sport 6spd manual. Corksport claims gas mileage increases with their intake...bias I assume. Has anyone installed an SRI such as the corksport model and noticed better mpg's(after break in period of enjoying the sound)? I drive...

    How to access service schedule within instrument panel

    I already read this part of the manual. Where I am confused is it refers to a type a and type b cluster. Not sure which trim levels/packages have which. pressing my info switch only allows access to current mpg, average mpg, average speed, and miles remaining on tank. I realize I have a base...

    How to access service schedule within instrument panel

    I bought my 2015 CX-5 S 6spd manual with 10k miles. I'm unsure if the dealership changed the oil before I bought the car, so I am getting the oil changed at another dealer at 16k. I realize the service interval is 7500 miles. I'm just getting it done because I have a 600 mile road trip coming...

    cx-5 sport manual acheiving 35mpg or better

    I forgot to mention I bought the car certified pre owned, with 10k miles on it already. Its already broken in. Got it for $20k, which is its value if I traded it in right now. Certified pre owned mazdas extend the factory bumper to bumper warranty to 48 month, 48k. The powertrain warranty...

    cx-5 sport manual acheiving 35mpg or better

    i will check tire pressure, drive a few more tanks and see if there's any improvement. If not, I may consider raising tire pressure to 38psi. Is your wife's car a manual? How does she feel about the ride with 4psi higher than factory recommendation? How did you get a GT? I thought only...

    I just purchased a 2015 cx-5 sport, with a 6spd manual transmission. I have noticed on fuelly.com that some drivers can acheive 35mpg+ on the highway. Also, autotrader.com review this vehicle and claimed averaging 32 city/38 hwy during testing. I do about 95% highway driving, where the speed...
