It was an inside patch and a plug. They removed the tire.

Thanks, both of you. It turned out to be a screw and they were able to patch and plug.

I have a 2015 AWD Touring CX-5. It has a set of tires with 3,000 miles on them. One tire has a slow leak. I'm hoping they can patch it. If not, is it safe to just replace that tire, or do I need a whole new set? Hoping its the former, but if not, such is life. Thanks for any advice you have...

I am riding on Cooper Discoverer SRX. They are great in rain. I split time between West Sonoma County and Humboldt County. Lots of rain. They are fantastic for that. We were pelted this winter, I was driving back and forth on roads with water pouring across from the mountains, not once was there...

You can reset the mpg to compare different conditions. I average 27.2 in a 2015 Touring. Agree about the gas tank. But they have been different on every car I've ever owned. I know what this one does, and plan accordingly. It is really, really fun to drive. Fantastic control on wet, slippery...

You can take out the OEM mats in the front, but it's hard. The guys at the car wash broke the clips on mine and I had to pry the clip lose from the floor. Replaced them with the Weathertech mats, because I like the depth and at least partial cover for the dead pedal. But I haven't tried taking...

Thanks for the reports. This looks like the best option out there. The only concern I might have is tread life. I had a set of Pirelle P4s on my old Honda CR-V. They were great for around 15,000 miles then started getting slippery. I park on an uphill gravel slope, so that might have...

How is the handling on wet roads and heavy rain - if you have had any. We're looking at a (hopefully) wet winter in NorCal and at 37k miles, I may need to look at replacing the tires.

I just installed the WeatherTech mats in the front. One thing I do like is that compared to the OEM all weather mats the WeatherTech provide better protection on the sides due to a significantly higher lip, and the fit is very good. It covers the carpet basically all the way up to the plastic...

No. I have been on massive deadlines with no time to do that. Just chalking it up to a lesson learned.

Good points. I'll have to think about that. There is no snow here so it might not be a problem for me. I just tried the Canadian site and it won't accept my postal code as valid.

I just ordered some WeatherTech front mats to replace them. Lesson learned. From now on either I'll remove the mats myself or the car wash will be instructed to not vacuum the front floor.

Thanks. Yes, I have the receipt.

After a long road trip, I took the CX-5 to what is generally a good car wash. A day later I realized that they must have had problems getting the floor mats up for vaccuuming. Two of the clips that hold the mats down are missing. I have been trying to find replacements but have come up empty...

cohenfive, check out cars.com or cargurus.com. There are a lot of CX-5 former Enterprise rentals on the market near the SF Bay area. These are 2015 Touring models, all below bluebook. Got mine in Santa Rosa.

Should have mentioned that mine is AWD. The driving on that trip was mainly at either around 40 on the smaller highways and at most 55 on the main artery - Hwy 101, 299 and 96 for those familiar with Northern California. This was up into the mountains in Mendocino and northern Humboldt Counties.

Just picked up a 2015 touring CX-5 and I have had the opposite experience. Got back from a long drive on twisty mountain highways (600 miles) and most of my driving is on rural roads, some driving in a small city. The car reports an average of 31 mph. I reset the info gauge after getting the car.

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely try to test drive it somewhere similar and I'm pretty sure I can find a year old AWD in my price range.

Thanks for the response. The cars that slide are mostly RWD, including pickup trucks and sedans. I will probably need the AWD but was hoping to hear from someone with a FWD CX-5.

Hello. I am getting to the point where I need to retire my old Honda CR-V. The CX-5 looks like a great choice. However I am not in a financial position to shell out $25-30k, and am considering a used 2013 CX-5 with FWD. So, a question for those of you with FWD. I live out in the country and...
