    Fuel Economy

    Just about 4,700 miles averaging 27.5 mpg. Only about 1 mpg difference between "errand" and highway driving.

    Six states and 2600+ miles later ...

    g170gst - No worries, I'm enjoying your pics. Your mpg is much better than what we saw - 27.5, no complaints but more wouldn't hurt. You mentioned window tint and a front bra. We added side window tint and the windshield stripe. Looked at the clear bra option but chose the vinyl (?) mask and...

    Six states and 2600+ miles later ...

    We have family/friends in AZ, SoCal and Hawaii that we also try to visit every year. We have, over the years, driven to the West Coast, but these days we fly. Hawaiian "road trips" are taken in spirit - and airplanes, only. But build us a bridge ...

    I never thought about car pics until this moment. Could offer tons of kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews ... but none are Soul Red.

    Six states and 2600+ miles later ...

    We take as many "road" trips as possible every year including the "family circle drive" that includes stops in Florida (home) thru GA, TN, KY, IN and AL. We typically take my '02 Corvette that "kinda holds" our modest wardrobe requirements and a case of wine. But this year our plans were...

    Windshield washer fluid added to coolant

    Went thru the whole process with my son-in-law this afternoon. It appears there could be a small amount that remained in the r-tank ... less than a half pint of "mix" at the most. Leaving in the morning with hopes that my wife's new car isn't as sensitive as she.

    Windshield washer fluid added to coolant

    Appreciate the input. As near as we can tell, he added enough washer liquid to 'fill' the reservoir from the cold line to full. Maybe a half gallon? Realizing that, he syphoned off the same amount of material from the reservoir - the engine was not started. The car is new and we're leaving...

    Windshield washer fluid added to coolant

    With good intentions, our son-in-law accidently added about a third of a container of old windshield washer liquid to the coolant reservoir. We believe he syphoned the volume equivalent out of the overflow tank, but not sure he got it all. The washer fluid container ingredients listed...

    Candy Apple Red

    OldGinger - Us too! Same generation. Same memories of 'Candy Apple Red.' And ... maybe, the same generational 'anti everything sentiments' including now - in 2017, "Down with the fifty shades of gray!" worn by so many other cars. Candy Apple Souls ...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    finch204 - Appreciate the kind thoughts but even if I catch a little (unexpected) poo from a Honda fan, it will likely just end up in happy talk at the Shell station. My guess is no one except CX-5 owners will ever ask about it. Again, just having some fun and - full disclosure, I'm a member...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    It's all about getting "funny" looks from Honda followers, after all, they'll be following me. All just for fun and my wife says she likes it. May start a trend of emblem "swapping."

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Yep, the "Touring" emblem. About 5" x .75" chrome with black recessed lettering.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Saw a new Honda CR-V the other day that was - according to the emblem, a "Touring" model. Thought it looked cool. So, I sourced one thru Amazon and installed it today just beneath the CX-5. Our CX-5 Touring is now a custom. ;)

    Infotainment upgrade possible?

    Thanks all. I'll pass along to my "co-pilot" she'll need a bit more patience while we wait for the next upgrade.

    Infotainment upgrade possible?

    I'll try ... not sure what I "don't know," but several times when we've given the system a voice command it tells us we don't have those commands in our system. We have been under the impression that our Infotainment chip (system?) is not the most complete offering from Mazda ... doesn't...

    Infotainment upgrade possible?

    Can the Infotainment system on our 2016.5 Touring be upgraded to "max function" with a new chip? It would be nice to have the full voice comm. available ...
