    91 vs. 93 octane and GT-R/Sg trim CX5's

    When gas switched to the "winter" blend here in Austin (~ October 1?) my performance (both feel and MPG) using regular dropped off. So I've been using premium from Costco, currently $2.29 which is $0.40 more than regular. Many gas stations have a higher delta between regular and premium. I...

    2017~2024 INFO tainment

    Interesting. I've had 3 spontaneous reboots in the last two days on my '19 Signature. Two times using CarPlay. One time without.

    What Kind Of Wood?

    I wish Mazda would have also used wood on the center console instead of Piano Black plastic.

    Carbon or Ceramic tint on machine gray?

    Maximum tint on the front windows is 25% in Texas. I recently had llumar Formula One Ceramic 30% installed on just the front windows. Very happy with it. Now the fronts are barely lighter than the rear, if I had gone with 25% the fronts would have been darker than the rear. The shop I went...

    2019 2.5T Whining Type of Noise

    I get the same thing at one specific part of my commute - under heavy acceleration going uphill (essentially a power merge). At first I thought it was tire squeal. If I back off a bit the noise goes away.

    GT-R vs. BMW x3 comparison

    As a former BMW owner, I had lots of loaners from the dealer while my car was being serviced. Most of these were 3-series or X3's. I think I got a 4-series once. To me, the 3's were "Meh", lacking any soul. All of the 4-cyl BMWs I've driven had lots of lag when not in Sport mode. In Sport...

    Zaino'd the CX-5

    I'm in the same boat. Zaino is good stuff. Due to drought conditions washing cars with hose and bucket is often prohibited in the summer. On my last vehicle (Black BMW Z4) I gave Optimum products a try, particularly Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax. Nice gloss, long lasting, never a single swirl...

    2019 GT-Reserve or Signature?

    I wanted the 360 Camera + Parking sensors so that pointed me to the Signature. The test drive sold it. Coming from a BMW, I'd say it compares favorably to a 3-series or X3.

    Signature mpg

    My mistake. I meant to say I*m running 87 octane. I did try a tank of 91 but didn*t notice a difference in performance.

    Signature mpg

    3000 miles. Right at 23 MPG. My daily commute is a combination of stop/go and 65MPH+ stretches. I think the stop/go is what is keeping the MPG down. I was able to get ~27MPG with my previous vehicle, a BMW Z4 28I, but that required 91 Octane. With the CX-5 I'm using 87 Octane which is...

    2017~2024 Just bought a 2019 Signature

    Yeah, sounds familiar. I was driving a BMW Z-4. While under CPO warranty LOTS of expensive repairs were done (retractable roof, differential, etc). Trusted mechanic told me all the things that would be needed in the next 12 months, on my dime. Liked having a roadster but needed something more...

    Has anyone gotten a door ding yet?

    Same here, @ 3 weeks old. Haven't talked to a PDR place yet. Luckily it's on the passenger side so I don't have to see it every time I take the car out.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Touring Accessory

    I have the Mazda rubber cargo mat. While I've only had it for a few weeks it seems okay. It fits perfectly and works with the Mazda cargo net. My Signature has Fog Lights and Auto-Dimming mirror. I haven't driven in fog yet, so I don't know how effective the lights are. I suspect they're...

    Sync Average with Trip A - greyed out

    Were you moving at the time? I've noticed that a lot of functions are disabled when moving, even some of the setting fields.

    What features do you miss from the car you traded for the CX5?

    I came from a 2012 BMW Z4. It had auto-tilt mirrors, which I miss but I'm getting used to the 360 view on my Signature. I also miss the traffic report feature of the Nav system which allowed you to get the report while moving (Sirius Traffic Plus is disabled on the Mazda when moving). I...
