Just saying, windchill factor has no effect on inanimate objects (so CX-5 will be @ -26c, not -44) :)

First world problems... :)

It is expensive... Since your conditions are not so bad, I would get a second tier winter tire (not top tier like the Gislaved or Nokian). I would go GoodYear WRT or General Altimax Arctic (both are good and will last 4-5 winters, especially the WRT). If you buy them at your dealer, don't...

Ok great sorry! Just trying to rule things out...

Isn't Castrol synthetic oil (like the EDGE sold at CT) sold in 5.0L containers? Most other oils come in 4.4L, but IIRC not Castrol...

+1... Maybe a 2015 preview for what's coming for us North American buyers? I always found it weird that in the 6 you could get memory seats, but not CX-5... Why not deliver a trim (Sport, GT, etc.) with same options on different models?

The fact that you reset your TPMS in the garage and exit in the cold morning air might be your problem. From what I've seen here, the CX-5s TPMS seems very precise and sensible, so if your garage is heated to 20c (68F) and you exit at temps around 0c (32F, maybe even less), just the temperature...

I tested it in a Mazda3 2014 at a mazda promotional event a week ago. The test consisted of a small incline with a balloon type object that would mimick a parked vehicle. The instructor was very clear in his instructions : SCBS will only work if the driver is not in control of the car (no brake...

I think demand will actually rise for an AWD 2.0L engine in the next few months... People looking for a 2-3 year used CX5 like yours will be plenty next fall... Especially in your area! Like many said here, I'd wait for the 2015.. Heck, that's what I'm doing before I change my m3! I test drove...

It's gorgeous!! All black like that though, in Florida, the title is about right... Miami Heat!! It's gonna be an oven in there :)

1. Yes 2. If the lease is already underway, you'd probably have to buy the wheel/tire combo seperately for the duration of the lease, then reinstall the old 17" kit when you give the CX-5 back. You can then sell the 19" wheels in the forum or on Craigslist. You can always check with your...

Lots of CX-5s here in Qubec City... Maybe not as much as Honda, but not too far behind either.

I think you're absolutely right... It all depends on driving conditions, driving style, temperature, etc etc. As I said in my last post : Of course, depending on your driving and your needs, the Michelin may be better suited for you... This list is based on mostly city driving (which sees the...

Hi all, Just to say I've been invited to a promotional Mazda Canada event in Quebec City to be the first (in Canada) to test drive the new Mazda3. It's supposed to be an hour long test drive, so hopefully I'll be able to play around with the car and post my review here. It's on October 12th...

Maybe a "squeaky-when-wet" suspension bushing?

The new IG51v has had great reviews from last winter... Definitely worth looking into!

I get you Switcher... I agree!! The Hakka 7 here is THE best tire you can get your hands on... Only thing though, it is pricey.. Too much for the average user!

You should get the same treadwear between the two... For the price, I would go with the Bridgestone... Good choice! The reason I don't like the Michelin is that nice empty bar at the middle... With properly inflated tires, that middle rib will be important... By eliminating all tread there, I...

As I don't have a CX-5, mind you, I'm in the works of changing my winter tires on my M3... I phoned a few places to get quotes and opinions, and I checked on different forums and comparos, and they get good reviews from everyone I spoke with. Moreover, based on different things to look for in a...
