CXville says: "When coasting in gear, the engine shuts off all fuel to the engine." I kinda doubt that a running engine uses NO fuel.... I call that : Bull Sh*t. ( but you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how weak.... ) ..... but.... I didn't mention anything about coasting...

.... just adding my 2-cents.... Had my 2013 base Sport Model (Manual tranny ) for 22 months now.... 15,000 miles on vehicle. Highway: 36mpg (plus or minus 1 mpg) Commuting on non-highway: anywhere between 30.5 and 34 mpg. How I get 34 mpg? * Shift at 2000 rpm * If I'm sitting at a red...

Safe-Lite showed up yesterday.... and did a fine job. The paperwork showed the "list price" for the windshield of OVER $900, and a selling price (to Safe-Lite) of about $350. Glad that Fla. has a "no deductible" law for this kind of replacement work. .... waiting ....now, for one of the...

A rock came off a truck and put a small crack in my windshield. I was going to have a repair done (Safe-Lite), but the tech who showed up, told me that the crack would not become invisible, and there was a chance that the windshield would crack, as he applied his "fix". So.... I opted to have...

Raymie; Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't purchased anything yet.... wanted to research more.... first. My intention was to use the Torque app while driving, on a cross-country road trip. Now, I'm not so sure.

Kelseyx; Also own the (Base) Sport Model, and since I didn't need a back seat (just me and wife, now-a-days), I wanted the extra (usable) storage space, by getting the rear seats to lay flat. The rear seat cushion is easy to remove, .... just four bolts. (put the bolts back in place, after...

I traded my wifes crappy 2009 Hyundia Accent when I purchased the CX-5, and I was surprised, when my insurance cost actually went down by about $50. (Progressive Insurance) She now drives my VW Rabbit, and I have the Mazda.

Burger.... thanks for the youtube link ... now I have some more details to dig into.... there seems to be quite a few youtube videos' on the how the Torque app works.... Yes the tablet mentioned above, does have a camera / webcam, but I can't tell from the specs, if it is "rear facing". If...

http://bensoutlet.com/products/google-android-asus-nexus-tab << $160 for the tablet -- this refurbished unit showed up today on "Bens Outlet". http://www.ebay.com/itm/170993973127?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 << $14 for the bluetooth module (Android ) Burger: I'm...

Yes, the SnapShot device does plug into the OBDII port. I told the mechanic that I was (also) thinking about getting one of those Bluetooth diagnostic things (works w/ Android tablet ).... he didn't seemed concerned about that. (and showed me the one he owns (his, did not belong to the Mazda...

Thought some on here might find this interesting.... While driving today, all of a sudden, just about every warning light in the dash came on, some were flashing.... and the light in the push button start was also flashing.... I then noticed that I no longer had power steering..... the...

Thanks for that info..... I'm pretty sure that you are saying that this app, will only function w/ Android. ( and hence, I can't use it w/ my iPad ) ... if that is right, the cost is still OK, .... just need to pick up an Android based tablet ( relatively inexpensive) I've searched the "app...

Rear Badges (like Avenger says above), come off easy.... a little "Power Pro" fishing line works great. Cleans up well

Just adding a photo of the Rola organizer thing I ordered from Amazon (used... but I can't tell, only the box was distressed) Note: I removed my rear seat when I purchased the vehicle.... now the entire back will "lie flat". (just four easy bolts to remove) Those scuffs on the rear floor mat...

Thanks for the tip / info, about the Rola model 59001 organizer. I saw one (only one) "used" one on Amazon (likely a return, in very good shape.... I've had good luck w/ purchasing "used" items on Amazon ) Price was just under $40, including shipping / no sales tax. (so, I ordered it ) Link is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPoKc7QfH3A&feature=youtube_gdata_player Does the CX-5 have a powered antenna ? (which would require the adapter shown in the YouTube video -- link above) I needed an adapter when I installed an aftermarket head unit in my VW ( so that my radio would work )

Yep..... picked up the boat, about 2 months ago. It was located at a rich guys house, about 75 miles from home..... it happened to be on the same day as my grand daughters birthday, so I stopped there to give her a new bicycle (7 years old) and snapped this one pic.... (not a good pic, and...

I installed the Curt wiring kit on the CX-5 The "trick" to getting the rear panels loose, is the "hidden" bolt, located under the spring loaded tie down points,..... just pop open the bolt cover w/ a jewelers screwdriver. I used a sturdy jewelers screwdriver, and covered the tip w/ some...

.....nevermind...... Got the ground wire figured out...... The tricky part was removing the rear panels..... There are a few "hidden" bolts under the "tie down" points..... I took a few pics, which I'll post later.... Which should be helpful to others.

Lando....(or anyone else). I going to install the Curt wiring kit (for trailer lights ), later today..... Question: Was there a convient place to connect the ground wire (to the body metal) ? I figure that the total wieght I'll be hauling, to be less than a ton (2,200 lbs. ) boat (alone)...
