Out CX5 hit the 7500 mile mark a few days ago. I thought I'd report on what I think so far about the purchase. The complaints: 1. The rear head restraints are too large and interfere with vision. We've removed them and placed them on the rear floorboard. In the cases where we have rear...

We're at the 4000mile mark and our overall mileage is now hitting 30 MPG. I've noticed it improving as we put more and more miles on the car. Although the exact driving scenario is not exactly the same every week, the routine is for the most part the same.. back and forth to work 5 days a week...

If by chance something happens to the SD card for the navigation, wouldn't it be covered by the basic warranty? I ask because they can fail and become unreadable for one reason or another.

Wow.. I read a few posts on testing out stereos and I've read mmore than one post where a good CD to use is Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" CD. (not a MP3 copy, but the original CD in /wav format) I happen to have this CD (don't ask) and put it in the CD player in the car and was blown away...

We have a black interior in our CX-5 Touring. I'm thinking the armrest on the drivers door will not hold up well after a few years. I can't imagine how you guys with the lighter color will have any chance of keeping this spot nice and clean. To me, the main problem is at the very edges of...

Anyone here have the Crystal White Pearl model? We have this color and it seems like a "thicker" paint over the other colors. I noticed it was a 200 upgrade and thought it may have to do with the extra coats applied. I noticed the other colors seem to chip very easy from what I've seen on...

If you have the rain sensing wipers, what is the sensitivity level you use? My wife was coming home yesrerday and a few drops hit the windshield causing the wipers to turn on. With only a few drops on the glass there was a big smear as the wipers came into contact with mostly dry glass, bugs...

How much are you guys paying at the dealer for the 7500 mile service? If not the service, what does your dealer charge for just an oil change for the CX-5? I ask because of the synthetic oil, and I know dealers usually charge a lot more for a synthetic oil change. I'm fully capable of doing...

I've had my new CX5 for a couple days and we didn't get the all weather mats. I saw them at the dealer and really like them. Is there a mail order place to buy them at less than retail? I think the dealer wants about 90 bucks. Was hoping to find them somewhere for 50 to 60. thanks! David

If I gain access to the amp for the Bose system (under front seat?), are there any adjustments I can make on the unit? Is there a subwoofer output I can plug into? Maybe I'm asking for too much from a factory amp ? :)

We were about to buy a 3i Grand Touring 5door yesterday. I had researched the 3, Focus, and Elantra. We decided the Mazda 3 would be for us. Anyway, while at the dealer working out some details on the 3, my wife was bugging the girl to show her the CX5 while waiting for some paper work. Once...

My wife has her phone charger plugged into this spot and I noticed it stays on after shutting off the car (this is the place under the center armrest ). If it stays on all the time will it drain the battery or cause excessive draw? She said her 07 Altima did the same thing. The 12v plug...

Does the cx5 Bose system have a subwoofer someplace? Where is the amp? What is "audio pilot" and "centerpoint" ? HD radio is great... but I could have sworn my radio had sat radio too... I have a little "shark fin" antenna on the roof so I assumed I did. Don't see it enabled on receiver.

Does the owner's manual show where the SD slot is located? I can't find it. The NAV manual mentions it, but does not show where it is either. I bought my cx5 last night... so far love the car but voice recognition stinks for bluetooth and Nav. Maybe more practice on my part. I use Linux...
