    2024 CX-5 Turbo...Less Than Stellar MPG?

    It is really interesting the varying MPG's people post. It seemed the predominant figures were much higher on 22+ 2.5T vs our 21 but the more threads I see, the more it seems my 23.5 on the cluster is pretty spot on for the type of driving I do (mostly in town). I have never seen 30mpg in my...

    Anyone get an SD card for the CX-70/90 from Amazon?

    Out of curiosity for the CX-70 buyers. Why did you choose the 70 over the 90? They cost the same, but the 70 lacks the 3rd row seat. I am considering an upgrade as well, but can't think of a reason one would buy a 70 over a 90. You can always put the 3rd row seat down for the same cargo...

    Creaking/Groaning Noise during low speed braking

    I guess my local dealer could be a Mickey Mouse shop but they are the only ones who took the front wheels on and off as I had oil changes and rotations done there while it was under warranty. Just finished my last oil change there.

    Creaking/Groaning Noise during low speed braking

    I had a shimmy in my 21 almost from the start when purchased new. The dealer resurfaced the rotors which helped for a short while then it returned (it was really bad when stopping at highway speeds). I purchased OEM rotors and pads online (I don't know if the pads are what I had originally or...

    Anyone bothered by the poor front LED lights?

    I just did a little googling and while it seems matrix headlights were approved in the USA in 2022, there are special stipulations which keep them away from the market unless they are specifically designed for US cars. I don't think Mazda sells any cars in the US with matrix lighting. If they...

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    Did I say I was exclusively in my CX-5? I also have a Frontier and BMW Z4 which is much lower to the ground than a sedan.

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    I know as there are literaly hundreds of current gen CX-5's in my area and I have been head on with many of them over the years with their fog lights on. Not blinding at all in any weather conditions.

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    Not getting the arguments. The fog lights on the CX-5 don't blind oncoming traffic at all. They do give better lighting close to the car, as others have pointed out. This is not a detriment in any way I could imagine. While I agree folks should be looking down the road, they could benefit...

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    But wouldn't it be even better with fog lights as well as the improved headlights? I was not aware Mazda did anything functionally to the headlights. I thought it was mainly the DRL portion that was changed. Don't remember reading anything about an improvement in the changes for 22. This...

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    I can't understand why anyone would think taking the fog lights away (as they did from 22 on) would be a benefit. Why wouldn't you want to have extra light available at night or in inclement conditions?

    Infotainment Freezing / Firmware Fix?

    There should definitely be an update if you have had the car since new. Look and see what version you have then look for the newest one to download.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    If they just rebadged the CX-60 as the new US market CX-5 and brought it over we would have the larger size, I6 and hybrid options available immediately. Just saying....

    The Endless Mirror Issue

    One would think Mazda could have come up with a more robust mechanism, since it seems to be a common failure point.

    Guide Mazda Firmware Update Information

    It is really sad how folks communicate in the world today. They want answers "stat" no matter if it's free, or paid. So quick to criticize someone who is doing something for nothing in return. They seem to think you are waiting by your computer looking for requests and will respond...

    2025 CX-5 vs New 2026 model!?

    I like the CX-90. If I were getting one, it would be a CX-90 Turbo S Premium so I would have the second row bench and have 8 person capability if needed. The issue I have is, the CX-90 is too long for my taste. I wanted a CX-70 which cut 10" off the length of the 90. Alas, no dice. It makes...

    No transmission maintenance interval recommended in owner's manual?

    When I asked my dealer about a transmission fluid change, they told me the interval was over 100k. I got a price anyway, which was insanely high (600 or so), and went elsewhere as they didn't seem to want to do it. The indie shop was about 250. I had mine done at 30k. What my dealer said...
