    CX-5 Air conditioning performance in hot weather

    I'm trying to figure this out myself. The a/c in my 2019 works so much worse than my 2005 Subaru! I've decided to take it in to have it checked. When starting in a hot car in auto, shouldn't the a/c blow max to try and cool the car down? Mine just kind of limps along...

    2017~2024 CX-5 Warranty after purchase

    Yes, in an ideal world, this would work. But for the vast majority of us, it doesn't. So we buy insurance 🤷.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Warranty after purchase

    I had the same thought you did about all the electronics! It's unbelievable. I did buy the Mazda warranty at time of purchase and I'd recommend using your best negotiation skills. I also plan to keep my CX-5 for the long haul so I got it for 100k miles. Have fun as you get the price as far...

    Trim or option regrets after purchasing

    I've had my 2019 GT with preferred package for a year today. Zero regrets and concur with Hal above, the vented seats & HUD display are amazing...worth it. Also, the mirrors folding in are a great convenience...if they fail, oh well.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Trailer Hitch recommendations?

    That's why I chose the Curt, no cut! This picture is a bit distorted but the hitch is actually even with the bumper, it doesn't stick out at all.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Trailer Hitch recommendations?

    Hi, I just had the Curt class III hitch installed on my 2019. It's part #13315 and the best price I found by far was through U-haul. You can buy and schedule install online too. Total out the door was $223 - hitch $135, install $72, lifetime warranty $5. It looks great too

    2019 CX-5 Hood Chip (Machine Grey Metallic)

    Oh no, that's bad, I'm so sorry! From everything I've read, Dr. Colorchip is the best (https://drcolorchip.com/). If there's a dent though, you might want to take it to be professionally fixed.

    Help me off the forum ledge

    I also keep my cars at least ten years. I have just come off of a 2005 Subaru Outback, which I loved. But every day for the past 11mos. I get excited driving my CX-5! It is so much fun to drive, I just love it. I have the Soul Red, the paint color most known for chipping. So far, it has...

    Smartphone USB Port Doesn't Charge Phone

    Try the highest quality cable you can find. I thought it was my car, but it was the cable.

    Unexplained noise while driving...Wind noise, squealing?

    Well, that is weird! I'd definitely stay on your dealer and continue recording evidence. Perhaps elevate to corporate if your dealer won't pursue? Good luck.

    Side cargo nets?

    I had side cargo nets in my Subaru Outback and they were so handy! I agree, I'd love to see them for the CX-5.

    Anyone get the metal pedal covers?

    Yes, I got something similar and I love them, they look great! The brake pedal takes a lot of work to get on but it fits snugly. Remember to remove the existing cover on the brake first. And I agree with the previous reply, use Velcro for the footrest pedal.
