Handwashed it for the first time as I discovered that there is a hose in my underground parking lot. I used the Mazda-branded Wash&Wax solution (was a part of this kit, costs around $15 Canadian)

Also bought some trim covers from Aliexpress. Really liked the ones for the rear vents and the cup holders. (If you decide to get one for the rear vents make sure it doesn't block the armrest.) At first I didn't love the one for the glove box but it's growing on me. I had to use an extra piece of double-sided tape for the handle (the rest was fine) as the one it comes with wasn't strong enough.
So I ordered more trim covers for the gear panel and window switches (also the air vents and the speaker grilles on the A-pillar) If you order from the same seller they tend to give you discounts.

May be because the hose is at the underground garage?Wow! That's a nice surprise, eh?
The hose wasn't frozen?
May be because the house is at the underground garage?
Unclog a/c drain and remove musty smell easilyAfter it rains, if I have the heat or AC on I am getting a musty smell. Is it time to change the cabin filter or is there anyway else I can freshen up the smell?
Or may be that underground garage is heated? I’ve seen such underground garage before in other country for the luxury high-rise apartment and it even has marble floor in some walking area.I've been in an underground parking garage a time or two in my life during the winter months. It sure felt like it was freezing down there!
Thank you! Unfortunately they didn’t have insurance but they did run from the scene so they are being charged with a hit and run. So a REALLY good lesson for them, and boo-hoo for Progressive.Glad you both are okay, new CX-5 for you and a good lesson for them lol
Progressive is a good insurance company, and they paid me a big money (and very reasonable amount) twice to fix two hail damages suffered by my 2016 CX-5.Thank you!

Wow. Glad your ok. Looks like the doors held up well and didn't push into the passenger seat area. Good to know for any family members that ride in that passenger side. I dont know about the doors, but the hoods are solid steel.Well, I experienced my first car accident. Teenager ran a stop sign at a blind intersection and T-boned me (and I had no stop sign). Thankfully, neither parties suffered injuries.Progressive is getting me taken care of as swiftly as they can. Once I get the check I'm going to get another CX-5. Impressive how well it handled that impact! 161K miles on it and it still cranked over on the -25 F days without a whimper.

Glad to hear you had a good experience. That makes me feel a lot better about the whole situation. Unlike this Kona I’m in. The 4 stage heat… only stages 1, 2, and 4 work. 3 is dead. The CarPlay cuts out after about 5 minutes of use, and unplugging the phone hasn’t remedied it, nor has removing it from my iPhone and trying to set it up again. Fuel economy hasn’t surpassed 25 yet on the 2L naturally aspirated plant. One feature I like is the AWD display on the center cluster. They, like Mazda, preload torque to the rear axle from a complete stop.Progressive is a good insurance company, and they paid me a big money (and very reasonable amount) twice to fix two hail damages suffered by my 2016 CX-5.

Normally the hitting noise is very loud. The right rear wheel tilted out badly on your 2015 CX-5 was the most surprising damage to me.Glad to hear you had a good experience.

Luckily I was just commuting to work, so no passengers with me. The doors from the inside didn’t look damaged at all. I didn’t realize how bad the accident was until I stepped outside of the vehicle!
Toyota vehicles have 10 airbags including a driver knee airbag. A scratch on her knee could be caused by the explosion of the knee airbag?⋯
All airbags deployed. She walked out with a scratch on her knee.
