    2014 GT Lost Base on factory head unit with Polk speakers

    I think v8toilet is correct or close to being so. One might not want to drop. Money on the power pack plus a wiring kit but if I read their specs right, Alpine says it will support 2 ohms for 4 channels

    CX-5 Resale?

    Carmax is selling a used 2013 GT AWD for $29,998. It has 20,000 miles and has had two owners. This seems like a steep price. One could get a new one for that I think...

    Impressions and comparison after a week with my rav4.

    I just wish the Rav4 was not lowered to 6.5 inches. I know some people like the lowered look, but in Colorado we have snow and dirt roads in the forest. The extra two inches in the Forester or Mazda are important to me for getting around in the snow and light-duty trail-head access.

    For those of you at work, using a work computer, you might not want to click on that link if having nude silicon-enhanced women in ads on your machine could get you fired.

    CX-5 Stuck in the Snow Adventure - Winter Driving in Colorado

    Max, the same thing happened to me when I had my Tacoma. I am not sure what the Tacoma had for clearance, but it more than the CX-5. I was fortunate to have it happen in my own yard. I wonder what the best snow shovel to carry is. I am thinking one of the plastic "grain" shovels. -...

    USA Mazda Diesel Engine Delayed Again

    Wasn't the 0-60 time about 10.1 seconds? I think I read that somewhere regarding the overseas models. 0-60 in that time is not fast enough for many. Maybe some here are fine with it, but I would want 8.5 seconds or so, as I lose a lot of horsepower living at 6.600 feet above sea level.

    Zoom Zoom or Putt Putt

    Does anyone have a graph of HP and Torque against RPM? I would guess there is not a whole lot there at 1,500 RPM. I know most 4 cylinders reach peak HP around 4,400 RPM and up. I know there are a few people over at the Subaru forum who don't want to rev their engine past 3,000 RPM for reasons...

    Repainting Soul Red Metallic after an accident

    Hi I searched but did not find anything about repainting the Soul Red Metallic after an accident, should one be involved in one. After reading this,http://www.mazda-news.eu/2013/03/13/about-the-soul-red-metallic-color/ , it seems as though there is a special process to apply the paint. I am...

    2014 cx5 gt p1137 code

    I had something similar happen with another vehicle and the problem resolved itself after a couple of weeks. Instead of changing the o2 sensor I decided maybe it was telling me the truth and it was rich. Anyway, like Mike said - a bad tank of gas or some other anomaly is what I attributed my...
