What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Great, we have broken pavement hell in our city. My CX-5 will probably be shaken to bits prematurely.

haha I hope not. My city’s roads are on top ten worst and I use them lol.

My local dealer sent me a coupon for a thirty dollar oil change with a 56 point inspection. Of course he found 5k worth of work I needed done. I couldn't get over the fact they charge 43 dollars for one spark plug. The trouble with dealerships is the overhead they have to pay for.

I used mazda swag to buy my spark plugs... https://www.mazdaswag.com/spark-plugs looks like they have gone up since I ordered back in April.. very simple job..literally no more than 45 minutes..

Finally took my wife's 2019 CX-5 (26k miles) in for the TSB 01-001/23 repair. We'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, they put me 2025 CX-50 2.5 S Premium loaner. I don't know how I feel about the CX-50. I like the panoramic moonroof. Not a fan of the split center console cover. Nice to see the hood struts comes with it but almost feels like driving my 2023 CX-30.

Anyway they left the sticker in the car so here it is for those of you interested. Also, you would think they would hide or secure the GPS fleet tracking module.

Hard to imagine anyone would mistake a CX-50 for a Cx-30 since the former is much closer in size to the CX-5 and the latter is absolutely dinky inside. Last time I took my CX-5 in for service, they gave me a Cx-30 to run an errand in and every time I went to look over my shoulder to the left I kept hitting my head on the top of the door frame!

It's probably because the 50 is similar to the 30 in design and build, whereas the CX-5 is different.

IMO, the inside is more of the CX-30 but I do like the "aggressive" look/body style outside more than the CX-5.

If it wasn't for the outside, it sure feel like I'm driving my daily driver, which is the CX-30. Plus even the placement of the cupholder on this is better than the CX-5.

A lot of people complain that they can't put their giant Stanley/Yeti/etc there or it will block the climate controls.

did driver side control arm so now both fronts are done. I forgot how much of a pain it is to torque the bolt next to the transmission pan.
