Usually the wife, kids and I head out on a 2500 mile round trip every memorial day. This weekend, we're staying home - only postponing the trip to June 22nd. Gas here in SLC for premium is now $4.00. Pop around you can get $3.89, or a few cents, but $4.00 is here to stay. I have a 2007 CX7...

This morning I had to use my pull out key from the keyless pad to get into the CX7. I used the remote start to start it, came out 5 minutes later, opened it by pressing the door button, leaned in and turned the car ignition to full ON. Then I closed the door to go get a broom as there was a...

This morning I filled up 18.9 gallons of premium gas costing me $58.19. It was my weekly Monday morning fill up. I went 277.4 miles on last weeks tank of gas. Wow, my gas mileage went up from 13.5 to 14.6 this week. This car is killing me on gas. At roughly $275 to $300 a month in gas, this...

5500 miles on my CX7, CEL just came on yesterday morning. Fuel cap is tight, so I'm not sure what it is. Also there is a new symbol on the left above the TAC that is a little circle that looks like a speedometer with four dots underneath it. I looked in the CX7 manual but I can't find the...

As we are getting back into the winter months, I'm dreading my CX7's inadequate fan system. When temps here in SLC drop below freezing, I know it will take the car over 20 minutes for the cabin to warm up. In the summer, if the temp is above 100F (as it was most of this summer, something like...

Well, a form of gas. The CX9 (and all cars) have a recommended front and back. I've never ever used it. I like a little more air, and it all depends on your tires and rims. On my CX7, I have 20" rims with Goodyear Eagle GT II's. I like it at 35 psi all the way round. My CX9, the dealer put...

I've scanned every piece of documentation I can find. All I can find is one blurb in the "FEATURES" section. Is the TINT on the CX9 UV protected? If not, I am going to have to go get them UV protected, otherwise the kids in the back seats on long trips get sunburned. I always get UV tint done...

Anyone else have to tap the parking brake after dis-engaging it? I have to every time otherwise an alarm goes off that is constant. The brake is all the way out, but the sensor is way too sensitive. Back to the dealership I suppose for that one.

I've noticed on my CX9 the power outlet in the center console (not next to the shift nob, but in the storage container) is always on. I was hoping to use it for my radar detector, but I don't want it draining the battery. Also, my CX7 lights on "auto", when the car turns off, the lights turn...

After three months of trying to seriously take care of the chrome rims that came with my CX7, my Mazda dealer pulled a set of stock alloy rims off a new CX7 and swapped out my chromes. The chromes are just too insane to take care of. They started pitting and it was impossible to keep them...

In November, I asked the Mark Miller Subaru dealership to fix a problem with my 2005 Legacy GT Transmission. Shifting was tight. The cost to them would have been around probably $1000 dollars total or less. I had previously purchased no less than SIX cars from them in the last five years. I made...

Just a word of caution for those of you with the DVD navigation system. This nav does *NOT* and I repeat *NOT* use DVD burning as a reader. You have to use CD format. So the most you can get on a CD is about 675k, rather than the 4.77g you can get on a DVD. Today I burned different formats of...
