    Picked up a new 3...

    Welp, traded the SHO in for a 3 to match my wife's CX-5. Picked up a 2015 3 GT 5 door, with manual trans. Snowflake White Pearl With black interior. Not an easy car to come by. Had to track it down for a dealer trade. This will take some getting use to. I'll sure miss the 400 horsepower And...

    3 Year Ownership Check In

    I haven't been hanging around here much lately. Thought I'd swing by and check in. I've made a habit now, posting an annual ownership check in. Well, here's number 3. My wife drives a loaded 2013 Touring, purchased March 10, 2012. Very early build. About 42K miles on the odo now. Still really...

    Radio Stations Change on Their Own

    I have only witnessed this occurrence on a single occasion. I don't drive the CX-5 too terribly often. However, my wife insists it happens continuously (her DD), and that she no longer listens to the radio, because it constantly just changes w/o being commanded with the knob/rocker switch. I...

    CX-5 Windshield Sun Shade / Visor

    Just drove the new, Gen3 MZ6

    The car is amazing, all the way around. It is Mazda's masterpiece. It is beautiful to behold in person, and is IMO one of the nicest exterior designs on a sedan in recent history. I thought the rear end was pretty humdrum and a mismatch with the rest of the car when I saw it in photos, but...

    Contol Arm Popping.

    Just wanted to make this information available... I haven't noticed anything like this mentioned on the forum here (or anywhere else), as far as a "problem", or reliability issue. My CX-5 was experiencing a popping noise from the front end whenever the brake was apllied, and then again after...

    Loving our CX-5

    We picked up a loaded Touring March, 10th. So far have about 3,500 miles on it. I LOVE the car. My old lady and I went on a big car shopping stint, as her car previous vehicle was beginning to give up the ghost. Looked at everything else that is comparable in the market, regarding price and...
