    Yokohama Geolander tires

    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.

    Yokohama Geolander tires

    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.

    Yokohama Geolander tires

    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...

    Adding a Turbo

    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...

Second tank of gas was a bad tank..engine running rough...

    mileage with weather

    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.

    Octane Rating

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

    New issue...wont start

    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...

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    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.

    New issue...wont start

    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...

    New issue...wont start

    We had the DVD played put in when we got the car an it took 2 weeks for the battery to die. The second time it died it took a week and was sent to the dealer. After a week of checking the DVD player was drawing almost an amp when the vehicle was off. They also stated that the CX5 ECU was staying...

    New issue...wont start

    So i go out to run some errands on my day off and the car wouldn't start. Now it has about 2000 miles on it now. After trying to start it, the electrical system stayed on on and I was able to take some video of what it was doing. It is now at the dealership to figure out the problem. Hopefully...

    black rims?

    It's a spray can similar to paint, but it's a rubberized type of plastic once it dries...it's similar to the grips used on hand tools. Once it's on, if you get a scratch on it or don't like it anymore you can peel it off with no damage to the wheel. Search for it on YouTube, there are plenty of...
