    $1,300 Repair on a 2010 Mazda3

    For more than a month now, the ABS and Traction Control lights have been coming on and off on my 2010 Mazda3 hatch. They might stay off for a week or so but then they will come back on again for several days. The car has just under 60k and is in very good condition. Today, I had the dealership...

    My 2016 just averaged 31 mpg on a 500 mile trip---and that was with a cargo box on the roof. Around town is usually 26 or 27.

    Cargo Box Conundrum

    I've been searching but not really finding any solid answers. Hoping someone has an updated answer or knows of a new model cargo box that will fit.

    Cargo Box Conundrum

    i'm wondering if anyone found a cargo box that will work with oem cross bars? I bought a Thule Force L and was greatly disappointed that it wouldn't fit on my 2016 CX-5 (the hatch was hitting the box and the antenna was rubbing against the underside of the box). I tried a few different...

    CX-5 Roof Rails/Rack

    Thanks for the info, Max. How difficult was it to install the crossbars? I have the oem rails and purchased the oem crossbars but have yet to install them.

    CX5 vs Forester XT

    I agree. I don't find the cabin to be all that noisy either. I also cross shopped the Forester (non turbo) and the CX-5. I was very close to buying the Forester, mostly because my wife liked the visibility and what felt like a little extra room. The giant sunroof was a nice plus too. It's a...

    Dealer wants to buy back my '13 cx-5 and put me into a '16.5...Thoughts?

    I used to get the "Due to a higher than expected demand for _________ we're interestd in your vehicle." The best was when i got one of those letters from VW for my 1998 Jetta....in 2008.

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    I didn't trade in anything when I bought my CX-5 this year. We decided to keep our Miata and Mazda3 so we're now a three Mazda family. When my girlfriend (now wife) and I met, I had the Miata but once we got married we needed a little more space for longer trips, bringing home groceries, etc...

    New owner (maybe?) + Recall Notice!?

    Consumer Reports is reporting that the 2013s aren't part of the recall. Apparently "a production change that contributed to this problem was made in summer 2013, affecting 2014 models." http://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/stop-sale-issued-for-mazda-cx-5-suv

    New CX-5 Owner Problems Pairing iPhone

    Thanks again. I tried your tips and it paired within about 10 seconds. Very easy setup once I had the ignition in ON and not ACC. Now if I can just figure out this recall over potential fuel leaks......

    New CX-5 Owner Problems Pairing iPhone

    Ahh, that must be the problem. I think I tried it once with the engine running and another time in ACC mode. I will give this a shot. Thanks! P.S. the phone has never been paired to the CX-5, just the Mazda3

    New CX-5 Owner Problems Pairing iPhone

    New CX-5 Owner Problems Pairing iPhone I finally pulled the trigger on a Crystal Blue Mica 2016 AWD Touring. I'm really loving the car so far. For some reason, my iPhone won't pair with the CX-5's Bluetooth. My iPhone menu is recognizing "Mazda" on the Bluetooth menu, but it won't connect. I...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Is it an AWD? Any other accessories or packages? Doesn't seem too bad. Most dealers are really willing to negotiate on 2016s right now since the 2016.5's are coming out this month. I'm sure you can trim it down a bit.

    CX-5 over a Forester?

    Thanks. I'm looking at the same trim level you purchased (Touring). Did you end up with FWD or AWD?

    CX-5 over a Forester?

    I've actually been going back and forth with the same dilemma. I tried to convince myself to like the Forester more. It's a sensible AWD with great visibility, more interior space, and an awesome gigantic moonroof. I actually started to find it appealing. But the CX-5 is just a really nice...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    They have this CX-5 listed for $28,475. They gave me the $500 Mazda loyalty incentive and I negotiated the out-the-door price down to $29,100 out the door.
