    2013~2016 CX-5 Strut and Shock replacement

    Just completed the rear strut and front shock install. Everything fit good and was easy. All that's left to do is get an alignment. I've only driven around the block but I noticed less body roll and bouncing

    2013~2016 CX-5 Strut and Shock replacement

    Can anyone else chime in with what struts they've used for replacements? I'm looking at replacing mine soon and am looking for a more comfortable ride. Don't really care about sporty-ness or cornering anymore haha

    SunTek vs. 3M (Front end film protection)

    I had suntek ppf-c on my bmw for 3 years then I sold the car. It was great and didn't lift, peel, or discolor in that time. Was quite costly though and I don't think I'd do it again unless I had a really expensive ($80k+) or collectors car.

    Gen 1 vs Gen 2 CX-5 damper/shocks interchangeable?

    Also interested in seeing if the OEM 2019+ CX-5 dampers/springs are compatible in a 2016. The newer CX-5's ride much nicer.

    If it’s this easy to improve the sound, why didn’t they just do it at the factory? And I thought Bose was trying to improve their name

    2016 CX5 LED headlights

    Just noticed that the passenger side headlight LEDs went out in my car. They are very slightly flickering. My 2016 model car has 56k miles and I bought the extended warranty. Not liking what I'm seeing that Mazda doesn't seem to want to cover it as a warranty item.

    2016 Constant squeaking brakes

    Mine also has brake squeak when coming to a stop and it is so loud its almost unbearable and embarrassing. I took it in to the dealer today and they didn't do anything about it, even after showing them R052/16C. They said I can call Mazda customer support if I want. Really disappointed in Mazda.

    I also have a 2016 GT and never knew if this feature works or not until the other day when it randomly activated on me. I was coming up to a red light and the brakes locked up on me, the car made some beeping noises, and the lcd next to the speedometer said "smart city brake support activated"...

    You can get chromed ones that are bright. The cheap ebay knockoffs are usually the dim ones.
