    Best LED DRL's for a 2014 GT w/tech?

    Hi All - When I bought my car, shortly thereafter I bought a set of the LED DRL's off of ebay that replaced the low wattage incandescents that were there when I bought it. Well just recently all but a few LEDs have given up on one of the lights, so I figured I should replace them. It's been...

    Replacing the passenger side mirror - possible to DIY?

    So the other day I was backing out of my garage, which is a tight fit with all the crap we have shoved in there, and I managed to break the mirror frame on the garage door rail (weeps). So all the components still work - the glass isn't broken, the BSM still lights up, the turn signal light...

    Neither KBB or Edmunds have the '14 CX-5 listed for values

    So I was curious what the FMV for my '14 GT is after a year of driving it, and 16,000 miles. Unfortunately on both these "blue book" type sites Mazda isn't listed under the manufacturers once you select "2014". I kind of have to wonder how major sites can make mistakes like this. Mazda has...

    The message app stopped working in my '14

    So this morning I received a text, and got the prompt on my screen to download it, but when it was complete it wouldn't read out like it normally does. When I got to work, I played with it a bit more - turned off the car and back on, etc. If I push the name, or the icon to read the message...

    VIN Tag oddity

    So when I was registering my car on the MyMazda App the other day it mentioned scanning the bar code on the VIN tag. Well I wasn't able to get the camera to read it properly, but what I noticed while looking at it is that the Gross vehicular weight, and the car type seem to be wrong. The...

    Xenon shutters misaligned?

    So I love the Xenon headlights with the tech package, but have noticed one really odd thing - apparently the shutter on the left headlight comes down further than the one on the right. I took a picture of this which I've attached below. When the ground is flat, this difference is magnified...

    Joined the Club officially today :-)

    Proud owner of a '14 GT w/Tech FWD in Meteor Grey! I had negotiated an out the door price before I got there, so all told it took about 2 hours, including a test drive and waiting for them to detail the car. Absolutely the easiest car buying process I could have imagined, with absolutely no...

    So when can we expect the official 2014 EPA numbers?

    I'm having a small crisis here - my wife has been pushing me to get a new car (still rockin' the '98 Corolla), and I was really drawn to the CX-5 for mileage first, then driveability, handling, cargo room, etc. I had been planning on pulling the trigger on a FWD GT w/Tech as soon as I could get...

    A 21,000 Mile CX-5 Report at Edmunds

    Just saw this review after 21,000 miles. Pretty much the whole thing is complaining about the navigation system, and that she would rebuy the car otherwise. Thought some of you might like to read it...

    Dealer purchase addendum...

    So I went test driving a GT yesterday, and found that my local dealership adds an addendum to the main sticker with two additional charges added to the selling price of the car - the first is tinted windows at $399 and the second is their "Desert protection package" which includes lifetime...

    Seat comfort - Touring vs GT

    So I test drove a Touring yesterday and I was disappointed to find that the same issue I had with the Mazda3 affects me with the CX-5 too. The left bolster on the seat hits me on the left hip and is extremely uncomfortable to me. Yes, this is due to my own butt being a bit too wide, but it...
