    2017 CX5 named Digital Trends' best crossover

    I've never heard of Digital Trends, and I'm not sure why the CX5 is up against a Bentley Bentayga. The F-Pace is a bit more realistic... Anyone else seen this? https://www.digitaltrends.com/2017-car-awards/ I first noticed it here...

    Goodbye CX5

    Hello QX70. It was a sad day 6 weeks ago, when I traded in my CX5. I really wanted to love it, having bought it new and all, but too many trips back to the dealer for issues simply wore out my patience. I've been eyeing the QX for a while, and although its a bit long in the tooth, I've always...

    Electronic Parking Brake Usage

    Just curious to see people's use, or not, of the Electronic Parking Brake. The CX5 adopted an electronic parking brake with model year 2016. Non-CX5 owners are welcome to join. Now, I'm posting this mainly due to my own curiosity. I grew up under the term "emergency brake", and really only...

    Transmission Problems

    I'm only posting this because it's the main reason I plan on moving on from my CX5. Almost 2 out of every 3 cars I've owned over the years has had transmission problems, or symptoms pointing to transmission problems at some point. Mileage has ranged between 50k and 90k when the problems really...

    Paint - 2016 CX5 vs 2015 CRV - a simple observation

    I see a lot of folks on here commenting how the Mazda paint seems to be a bit on the thin side. Videos have been produced that showcase how Mazda has moved to a more environmentally positive painting process, which some believe has led to a poorer quality of paint. So after 2 years of...

    Lexus Lane Valet

    Anyone catch this commercial over the weekend? I thought it was pretty clever. I come across countless numbers of idiots on my daily commute and would pay big bucks for this! Ha! https://youtu.be/Tzqio8ig6Gk Edit- I can never get a damn video to embed on this forum... maybe one of you...

    Cabin Air Filter & Glove Box Removal

    Like a lot of you I've been changing my own cabin air filters for years. Its almost mind-numbingly simple. So... I figured after 23 months and 20k miles it was about time I at least checked its condition. I even watched a YouTube tutorial for s**** and giggles as a precaution. Is it just me...

    Rear brakes have started squeaking @ 20k miles

    Yup. The squeaking started just a few days ago. Right after I hit 20k miles. Seriously annoyed.

    Anyone else experiencing gaps between interior bits? I uploaded a few pics of my dash and c pillars. https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/album.php?albumid=2199

    Just when you thought they couldn't get any uglier....

    I'm so happy Mazda doesn't follow Toyota's godawful design language. Every new Toyota and Lexus seem to get uglier and uglier, and that gaping maw bigger and bigger. Then they come out with this monstrosity. Why the F can't one of the world's largest automakers, with billions at its disposal...

    Resistance Shifting out of Park

    Has anyone else experienced this? I've been dealing with this intermittently for a while now... finally brought it up during the last oil change. Now and then, you can feel resistance when shifting out of Park. This usually happens (or is noticed) when you shift from Drive to Park, and then...

    30 MPG.... Unicorn or Golden Retreiver?

    So, there's a lot of comments on here regarding the CX5 and what people are getting for real world gas mileage. Last weekend I drove from Maine down to Virginia, and back to Maine. I figured this would be a great opportunity to see how my vehicle would fare. Simple background info: My CX5 is...

    Who'd have thunk it

    My dash display for Ave MPG shot up 0.3 MPG while tooling around on some back roads using the manual shift feature this weekend. I found this odd as this was spirited driving, with me keeping the RPMs between 3k and 5k for about 60 miles worth of traveling at speeds between 35 and 55 MPH. (I...

    Engine Lurch during start-up?

    For the past few weeks, its seems as if my engine sometimes lurches towards the driver's side when it turns over upon start-up. It isn't consistent by any means (meaning it doesn't happen every time I start the vehicle), and it is not noticeable during driving. Everything else seems fine. Any...
