    Parking - How Close is Too Close?

    Apologies if this is too much of a tangent. No harm no foul? Or, what the #@&! was he thinking? Mazda parked first, and the trucks bumper wasn't close to the back of its space.

    Where to hide spare key?

    I had a scare end of last year, my wife used my spare key, and then left it in her jacket. I couldn't find the spare and didn't like the notion of having just 1 key, even for a little while. So I bought a 3rd key, then of course immediately found the spare. Today, I finally got the 3rd key...

    Speed Bleeder Valve - does one fit the CX-5?

    I've had good experiences using speed bleeder nipples, with built in check valve, to blead brakes on Honda / Acura. I'm getting close to doing the brakes on my 2018 CX-5 and will want to at least bleed them, if not replace most of the fluid. For some reason there don't seem to be speed bleeder...

    Voice Commands Ignored

    In the last week or so, my 2018 CX-5 GT has begun ignoring voice commands. At first I thought it was an Android Auto problem, but I confirmed this morning that it also ignores commands while in the Mazda Navigation. I get the prompt, I don't recall if it acknowledges hearing sound, and then...

    What's the least expensive way to get a working spare key fob?

    I've got a 2018 GT. The battery for my key was getting low, so I ordered 2 new ones. I put the one in my key, then went to put one in the spare. Where's the spare? I can't find it. My wife probably cleaned it up and it will turn up in a couple of years. In the meantime, I need a spare...

    Tow hook cover fell off bumper

    Yesterday, after enduring Frozen II with the family, I came back to my car to discover that the left rear tow hook cover was gone from my 2018 GT Soul Red. I see that Mazda sells an unpainted replacement part, and there are sites that sell painted replacements for a Mazda 6. Has this happened...

    Scheduled Maintenence - What needs to be lubed.

    I plan to do my own oil changes and maintenance. I've done the first change. What all needs to be lubed and what do you use? All hinges, what else? Are there any old style grease zerks anywhere?

    2017 19" wheels, has anybody painted, coated, or dipped theirs?

    I'd like to see some pictures if you painted or dipped your 19" stock wheels. I don't like the look of them, and think they might be better if they were just all black. If the diesel ever comes out, and has those same wheels, I'll need to decide if I want to try and sell them, and replace...

    CX-5 Diesel inquiry - Response From Mazda

    I about lost it yesterday. Months ago I'd signed up to receive updates about the CX-5 diesel on the Mazda USA website and haven't heard a single damned thing from them as 2nd half 2017 comes to a close. So when they sent me an unsolicited email about the Mazda 6 and how it is getting the 2.5T...
