    2020 CX-5 observations and reviews

    And an "Engine Harmonics Enhancer"...probably something like the sound tube they used in the Miata, which piped intake noise into the cabin.

    2020 CX-5 observations and reviews

    My post and reaction to price hike was based on reading this: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-mazda-cx5-price-msrp-safety/ "Jumping into the fancier Grand Touring trim reveals a $31,255 price tag, which comes with paddle shifters now. That's also $1,210 more than last year, mind you...

    2020 CX-5 observations and reviews

    There was a window when 2019 deals were to be had, but the limited availability of GT-Rs and Sigs made that brief around here...so here we are: 2020. So far it looks to me like a pretty significant price hike with limited content changes, including some (like the key fob and nav) for the worse...

    2017 CX-5 GT wipers suck

    I'm going to try to get through the winter on my OEMs, but I just test fit the Bosch A 398 S driver's side on my 2017. Too dark to take a pic, but it fit fine. Super easy to change.

    Calling on 2017 CX-5 Owners - Reliability

    I'm at 35K and two years ownership of a '17 GS. Mechanically, the only issue has been the A/C "whoop" issue a couple others have had (expansion valve related). From my owner perspective, the big miss in my 2017 (other than the 2.5T--it is underpowered, IMHO) is memory seats, which I think were...

    2017 CX-5 GT wipers suck

    Set of the Aerotwin delivered today, also a few days earlier than expected. Box says: Mazda 6 (GL) CX-5 (KF) If I'm reading the icons correctly, not for right hand drive vehicles. Made in Serbia Connector is marked with a "6"

    2017+ CX-5 OEM cabin air filter?

    Apologies if I missed something previously posted, but I'm looking for an OEM (or better) cabin air filter for my 2017 CX-5. A couple of the online vendors are showing KD45-61-J6X-9U as the replacement, but I want to make sure this is not a value line part. From what I saw, apparently even the...

    2017 CX-5 GT wipers suck

    FWIW, it looks like Amazon UK has the Bosch AeroTwin 3397014398 for $25.58 and ships to US for $7.04.

    JDM rear low profile headrests

    I just came inside from re-uninstalling my rear headrests. I've ended up carrying adult rear seat passengers quite a bit over the past few months, and have ended up sticking them back in frequently. They definitely are a vision problem in the dense urban traffic I drive in daily. Is there a...

    2018 CX-5 Siren/Whoop noise

    Thank you--going to see if I can get them to go straight to valve replacement.

    JDM rear low profile headrests

    This doesn't help with the Sig issue, but FWIW parts-sale provided me with the PN for the 2017-2019 black leather JDM headrests: K157-88-240 02. Quote was $57.67 each.

    If you buy a new CX-5 don't forget to ask the dealer for ...

    OP, can you drop in a picture and/or part number for the unit you are talking about, please?

    2018 CX-5 Siren/Whoop noise

    Thank you, OP. I have exactly the same issue in my 2017. Was able to record it and played it for dealer, who also thought A/C system. I haven't done anything about it, but will suggest this fix when I next talk to them.

    Air vent reflection in driver's side mirror (2019 CX-5)

    It is very prominent in my 2017. Given the attention it got in the previous generation, I'm surprised it hasn't mentioned here before. I've wondered about the location of the mirror further back on the door rather than at the front corner is a factor--I've never noticed it in previous cars I...

    2017 - 2019 wheels

    Have to admit that my pizza cutters have grown on me a bit...maybe the brake dust has subdued the two tone look some. :-) I believe someone on here got a weight on the 2017-2018 19 inch wheels of @31 pounds...out of curiosity, does anyone know the weight of the 2019 Sig/GT-R wheels?
