I used this http://www.chemicalguys.com/Leather_Serum_16_oz_p/spi_111_16.htm on my parchment seats in late June and my seats haven't gotten blued up by my jeans considering I haven't cleaned them since I applied this stuff on them. This reminds me it is time for my CX-5 to get a good cleaning...

I will have to check but I pretty sure this is what I used on my car: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FGYSF9W/?tag=m20b7-20 I looked at CarPro's CQuartz as well, but the Micro Detailer product was cheaper at the time. Today CQuartz is cheaper at $75 USD. It wasn't a difficult process to do the...

I hear the same things when turning and driving slowly when there is a bump like into a parking lot or driveway. I only have about 2700 miles on the car so far. Usually I just think it is the retractable cargo cover making noise for some reason.

I can't say I've noticed this yet on mine. Hopefully, it doesn't sound like the rear differential whine I had my old 2013 Golf R. They flew an engineer out from Germany to inspect my car and replaced the rear diff twice. I ended up trading the car in after 18 months. Other than a slight...

I'm pretty sure mine has trajectory lines or something to that effect. If I think of it, I will take a picture next time I am in reverse.

I'm in Wisconsin too and my last car had 30% tint on all windows and no front license plate, both of which are technically illegal in Wisconsin (except the rear windows would be considered legal). I never had any issues with getting pulled over by the police. Granted my last car was an...

I recline the seat more to compensate for the weak lumbar support, but I still struggle to find the perfect driving position. Luckily my commute is only ~15 minutes so I don't notice any discomfort. A longer trip for a few hours will be the true test. Regardless, my previous Infiniti Q50 had...

How close are you to the wall? The chrome part of the grill could be reflecting some of that light.

I think the cutoff on my headlights are essentially even if memory serves. I'll have to double check mine tonight. The jagged cutoff on yours seems a little odd indeed.

I agree some determined person could easily remove those sensor caps, even with those anti-theft "locks." But I imagine at some point they will have replacement sensors that would be available for purchase. The only time I would worry about the sensors is when I take the car in for service...

I came across this today and thought tire safety monitor would be a good add-on to our TPMS system since we don't get actual tire pressure readings or other data that might be useful. Early bird price currently $99. Will retail for $119. This may be one crowd funded project that I actually...

I vaguely remember being concerned about voiding my warranty when I looked into this before I got my CX-5. But I don't remember if installing a third party system like this would void the warranty or not. I must have decided to wait until Mazda came out with a non-app based remote start option...

I am more interested in seeing how Hydrogen fuel cell technology develops.

My 2017 AWD average on the cars first tank of gas was like around 31 mpg. Right now my car says my average is 27.1 mpg and I've driven 112 miles so far on the first quarter tank of gas. Most of my commute is between 40-60 mph, so that probably helps.

How is overall seat comfort for people? I have only had my CX-5 for about a week, so I am still trying to find the sweat spot. Lumbar support seems a little weak to me so far though.

I have those on mine as well. I like how the truck guard stands out against the dark blue paint on mine. It really adds a nice touch.

How do these work with the Blind Spot Monitoring?

I noticed the scratches on mine before I signed the paperwork last Friday. I even noticed scratches in the clear coat on the paint. I definitely plan on adding the 3M film on the shinny black plastic door trim like I did on my last car.

I have a morbid curiosity about what the difference is between people who find Mazda's system complicated versus those of us who consider it easy and intuitive.

Hopefully the residual on the Mazda tracks over its lifetime better than my previous Infiniti. With the Infiniti the residual at signing was 60%. At the end of my lease the real residual was 40%. The difference between market value and my lease buyout on the Infiniti was like $10K.
