    I've seen quite a few in my area in just about every color. Some dude down the street bought one about a week after we got ours. lol

    Need your opinion: 22" vossen cv3 on CX-5

    My experience with aftermarket wheels and tires, especially staggered, is they're more trouble than they're worth. If you have something that comes with staggered low-pro tires that are already crazy expensive, then you might as well go with an aftermarket wheel. But when you go from running...

    I'd go a step above that and say most people in the world are clueless and should be clubbed like baby seals.

    Upgrading existing Bose System speakers

    The best way to sound deaden a door, is to deaden the door skin and also the inside sheet metal of the door. All of the holes that are in the sheet metal should be filled in and deadened over to provide a sealed enclosure for the speakers. It does help, but if all you are doing is replacing the...

    i'm surprised ne one is buyin CX

    Its simple. Most people don't even know what kind of car they drive. Mazda is so far off of their radar, they never even consider it. They hear about honda and toyota reliability, and resale value and stop looking. They could care less if it drives like a cardboard box. To them, a vehicle is a...

    First CX-5 Field Trip

    I thought you were driving through FL and actually hit an alligator. I was picturing an alligator flipping all down the side of your car. LOL

    Washing your CX-5

    Its a weight saving measure. LOL BTW, the Ferrari F40's paint was so thin you could see the carbon fiber weave through the paint.

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    I had the same tires on my TL and ended up not liking them. After a while they got real loud even though they were wearing fine. Went with michelins and it was like driving a different car. The difference was amazing... so was the difference in the price of the tire. LOL

    Anybody get extended warranty?

    Yeah, I know. So its not backed by mazda. Once you're out of the basic warranty, its between you and Easycare, or whoever. (who've had pretty bad reviews) Also, by purchasing the extended warranty from the start, you're giving them $1600 or whatever to hold until you hit 3/36k with no interest...

    That looks awesome! the 235/60's look perfect. Do those wheels fit the hubs, or do you need rings?

    Octane Rating

    using a higher octane does nothing for performance and is a waste of money if your car doesn't need it. You're better off using quality gas than higher octane.

    Anybody get extended warranty?

    I don't see how its a mazda backed plan when a 3rd party is involved in any way.

    2014 CX-5 2.5 Liter Option

    He never said it did. He said it was a metaphor for what it felt like, for anyone who's ever had a car with boost. I haven't felt any difference after break in. IMO the car is slow as hell, but if I wanted a fast car, I wouldn't have bought a CUV in the first place. The MPG it delivers is...

    Mazda survey - pricing insight on future changes to the cx5

    Thanks for the explanation. It seems like a lot of expensive parts, plus an upfront expense for not much payoff.

    Anybody get extended warranty?

    It's a gamble; just like Vegas. And also like Vegas, the house usually comes out ahead. From my understanding, if its a factory backed warranty, you have the whole time of the factory warranty to purchase an extended warranty. But Mazda doesn't offer a factory extended warranty, they use a 3rd...
