    I think the gloss black lip makes the tire look extra phat

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    All in, I don't think Mazda went above and beyond. However, some help is better than no help at all. At this rate, the OEM route is definitely a better choice. They do need to program the new diff in so I'm not sure if outside shops have this capability.

    Buying Advice for 2014 CX-5 254K Miles?

    I would get something with lower miles if budget isn't the main factor. Lots can go wrong (mechanically and physically) as parts will deteriorate due to age. Have a mechanic that you trust go over the condition but at that age and miles, it's a gamble imo

    Help! Dropped engagement ring into 2024 CX-5 Defroster vent

    It'll be tough. I think #1 can be seen at 10:30 which is a bit tucked away. But it does seem to me that there's a way to pop the bottom open and that maybe your saving grace

    2018 CX-5 AirPlay Retrofit Before Software Update

    I don't think I have seen anyone update after the fact therefore I would highly suggest you unplug the new kit before the update to avoid the possibility of bricking.

    2021 CX-5 Turbo feels slow after TSB fix

    Roll down your window, punch the gas and let off. If the turbo is working, you should hear the wastegate letting the excess boost out. If you don't hear anything then likely the turbo is not making boost

    2021 CX-5 Turbo feels slow after TSB fix

    When I got engine replaced, something was not installed properly. No engine light, no warning of any sort. My turbo somehow was not spooling at all and it was worst than the NA cx-5 loaner. So my guess is they messed up somewhere and your turbo isn't working.

    2022 CX-9 Lease Ending...What to expect?

    I thought all these numbers would have been pre negotiate with the lease agreement? I think the 22 is solid and good car to keep long term

    Mazda CEO says American drivers want ICE vehicles

    Owning short terms makes no sense because ev will depreciate really quick. Owning long term will run into potential battery issue where it'll be cheaper to get a new car than battery replacement. Insurance rates are high, reg fee (CA) is high, non tesla charging infrastructure is a joke. I'm...
