There are no sensors.... The pressure is calculated with the speed of the rotation of the wheels... Its another great thing about the cx5 and mazda

This: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=108 Imagine riding a bike that has 50 lbs wheels vs normal wheels.... You are the engine and will definitly need to work harder to het going and stop... Our muscles need energy, food in our case, fuel for an engine.

You also have to be the last one to close your door or at least to walk away from the car when you are not alone. With kids, it can get tricky because they can take a long time, or not close their doors completely. Basically its the reverse procedure of unlocking with the exception of pressing...

I'm didn't take a picture of my wheels yet, but I will be running the same blizzaks dmv1 as previous winters, but swapped out my rusted 8 year old winter steelies for new matte black rtx contour winter wheels: The wheels alone will be a big weight saving (about 10 pounds per wheel) and the...

had this issue, sounded like a tea kettle wistling, found out it was the window seal that had a gap. Dealer replaced it with a new one and its gone since

I wouldn't even trust myself with a gun, so even less anyone else... its just to much responsability for an individual, and specially now a days where people are more and more desensitized about violence. Hell I have to pay for insurance, if someone steals my car, I will get a new one, shooting...

my neighbour had one for 1 year and did not like it and complained that it was a real gas guzzler. he just traded it for a new vw tiguan

if you like sitting higher, but want better mileage and awd, get a cx3. I also have a 2014 mazda 3 2.0l manual transmission along with my GT awd 2.5l for the same commute to work I avergage 9.4L/100km in the cx5 and 6.4L/100km in the mazda 3. this is driving the same way, in my case I like...

2018 MY should be getting a real refresh, probably getting styling cues from what is seen in the current cx3 (grill, headlights, slim vertical fog lights have housing , floating roof..) They are supposed to release a second generation of the skyactiv engine that should be even more fuel...

I suppose battery life will also be affected by the lenght and regularity of drives. Short /less frequent driving should result in shorter battery life, as opposed to frequent long drives that charge the battery everytime.

In my almost 2 years of ownership, My average is 25mpg with the 2.5L. I drive it pretty much like I used to drive my mazdaspeed 3 (just proportionally slower because of the power/weight and center of gravity that is very different). So basically accelerating often as fast as this car will...

not a huge fan of the wheels or the front lip, but the rest is very clean. rolling pics are the best

reasons I would not trade mine for a 2016: Otherwise its a great update, just not enough to make me want to trade my 2014 for it. -not completely sold on the new grill/fog lamps style -still behind some competitors in terms of engine power output (lacking a diesel or turbo variant) -still no...

I suspect the same also. I can understand cost saving, but mazda should have made these options available with the tech package (even if that would mean making the package more expensive): -auto up/down on all windows (from drivers door) -auto close moonroof (or better yet panoramic sunroof)...

While its still not lighted, the 2016 may just bring a easy solution (and cheap swap possibility for older cx5) with aluminium tips on the switches. I am pretty sure that this will help a lot to make them easier to see in the dark. same with the side mirrors knob.
