No off road driving on them at all and the manufacture date was 03/12. I'm just guessing it was a bad set because I've never had tires look like that after a short time.

Yup it gets parked outside, but my other car gets parked outside and only gets driven 3 days a week where the CX5 is driven everyday and my other car has no cracking.

Here is a pic on one of the tires unmounted with no pressure in it.

Well I haven't been on here in a while and figured I'd post this. Bought the CX5 march last year and its still great and we have 18,4xx miles on it. I got in it yesterday and noticed a tire was low, began to check and I found a screw in it. While I was looking I noticed severe weather...

wifes CX5 my new FR-S...bought it yesterday 1977 Celica (current project) 1926 Model T(other project)

Bought it March 12th, currently has 9,634 miles on it...went on a 3,500 mile road trip from Texas to Wisconsin and no complaints.

Any news or more information on this? It's been over a month...maybe some pics or sound clips?!

Nitrous...cheap and easy 30-50 hp...

It is possible with high compression engines. Here is the new FR-S that is turbocharged By the aftermarket (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9942)...granted they run 12.5:1 ratio which isn't as high as ours. I just don't see the aftermarket making any kind of turbo application...

So we just drove from Dallas,TX to northern Wisconsin. Total trip was just over 1300 miles. First tank took us from our house to the first gas station off of the Kansas turnpike with an average MPG of 37.7...cruise control set at 73 mph. Second tank of gas was a bad tank..engine running rough...

I'm in Texas and with mixed driving were averaging 30+ MPGs on a fwd touring. We're taking it to Wisconsin in a month, so we will really get to see what this thing does.

Just 87 for me. That's what the engine was designed to run with, so that's what I use.

What I did with mine (only because it happened on my days off) is I called roadside assistance and had them tow it to the dealer the way it was so they could address the issue with the way the car sat. I had it jumped the first time and the dealer wasn't able to determine anything from it. So...

08 CX-9 GT. was getting 17/20 MPGs and it needed brakes, tune up, leather was cracking from previous owners not caring for it, and didn't need the third row.

They removed the headrests, and so far no issues but we've only ha it back for 5 days now. So I'm interested to see if this dead battery issue continues with it. On a side note though I did get a call from Mazda America asking about the issue and they were very apologetic about the problem and...
