    Dr ColorChip touch-up paint.

    Touched-up a few chips on my CX-5 today. I used it on my last car as well. I highly recommend it. drcolorchip.com

    Fuel economy example

    My 2017 CX-5 GT AWD gets pretty good MPG..if I'm careful with it. This was from a round trip I made yesterday. Mostly highway. I tried to not go over 65 mph. (There was some road construction that limited me to 55 mph for about 12 miles.) I've actually gotten a little better than this before...

    What did you trade-in for your '17 or '18?

    Mazda is supposedly going after a new demographic with the new CX-5. (Especially in Grand Touring trim) Just curious what others traded in for their CX-5. I traded in a '13 Volvo S60 Platinum.

    Something I noticed while using Adaptive Cruise.

    I've had my '17 CX-5 GT for a year but just recently experienced something while using Adaptive Cruise. I had the ACC set at 70 mph and was exiting onto a turnpike. The exit is a right-inclined turn with an embankment wall that- at one point in the exit- is straight ahead about 125 feet. At...

    Is the current CX-5 a "stop-gap" generation?

    As we all know, the current CX-5 isn't all new. It's on the same platform as the '13-'16 models, although heavily modified. I'm guessing the current generation will be '17-'20 with an all new CX-5 for '21 on the new Mazda 3 platform. I'm sure there's many examples of this being done in the auto...

    Anyone added aftermarket ambient lighting to '17 or '18?

    I've been thinking about this for a while but would like to see if anyone else has added anything yet. The lack of ambient lighting is one of my few complaints about the CX5.

    2017 Cx-5 and Lexus NX.

    Had the opportunity today to take a few pictures after parking next to an NX. Just comparing by appearance, the CX5 is cleaner. The designers knew when to put down the pen. Styling aside, I cross- stopped the NX before buying my CX5. Sure, the NX has more power and a better warranty, but a...

    2017 CX-5 rear bumper guard.

    I found this rear bumper guard: https://www.sportwing.com/RBP-005-Mazda-CX5-Rear-Bumper-Protector?language=en&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZHPBRClARIsAC-VMPB64PoSTcPes-wGOf-WkG8S3t3vv3Eam4ILv6HpPtIgnNL_C6Uzx9QaAmauEALw_wcB The strange thing is, the website says it fits 2013 to 2017. I can't...

    2017 Clunky suspension.

    Have right at 6,700 miles and I'm hearing "click" and "clunk" noises from the suspension. Seems to be both front and rear and mostly when making turns and especially when making a turn and going up hill simultaneously. Anyone else?

    Dealer experience. Are my expectations too high?

    Just got my car back from the dealership after my first oil change and tire rotation. Now, I have scratches on my rims. Should this be something I should just expect or should I raise holy hell? I should also mention the dealership put dents in my roof (just above both driver's side doors) when...

    2017: Made my own Dead pedal cover.

    I used some old diamond plate, pattern anti-slip material I had laying around the garage. Cut it to shape, applied a few strips the "hook" side of Velcro to it and it sticks to the carpet (loop) just fine. No more dirty carpet and it's removable. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    2017 owners: trouble with Pandora?

    I've noticed that if I leave my radio tuned to Pandora, then come back and start the car later it doesn't like to load Pandora. Sometimes it'll load but only plays for a few seconds, then nothing. But, if I start the car with it already tuned to the radio, wait for phone contacts to load (1-2...

    Separate pages for 1st and 2nd gen CX-5?

    Is it possible to have separate pages for 1st and 2nd generation CX-5? Now that there's a 1st and 2nd generation, it would make it much easier to keep up with information that's relevant to your vehicle. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Anyone install a rear bumper guard on their '17 CX5?

    Would like to find something that's not quite as flashy as these. Also want to find something that goes over the lip of the rear bumper where you're likely to have damage. I've looked around online but I don't trust sites that day it will fit "2013-2017". Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Ambient lighting to door panels and overhead console

    I bought my '17 CX5 Grand Touring with Premium Package about six weeks ago. As all North American buyers know, only the driver's window switch illuminates. In other world markets ALL the switches illuminate on all the doors. To remedy this, I was thinking about finding a shop that might...
