    Bell license plate frame from Wal-Mart matches Soul Red

    I recently went to Wally World and found a license plate frame for my Soul Red CX-5. I bought it not knowing if the color would be close. It looks like it was made for the car. An almost perfect match. I think it was just under $10. It's a Bell brand "Dealer Slim Red" and was in the...

    Must have CX-5 Tools and Items

    I was just going to try changing sides of the bracket on the hood side of the strut (switching left to right side- they aren't labeled). The mount is a little offset. It won't add much (if any) height, but I may consider it.

    Must have CX-5 Tools and Items

    I bought the hood struts from Amazon and like them. Crazy that it didn't come with any instructions. I did watch the video and that helped. And used the Loctite. I may switch the sides on where it attaches to the hood for a little more clearance. I think the hood needs to open higher even...

    Diesel CX5 has landed in the USA

    Signature Diesel $42,345 168 hp, 290 torque, 27/30 mpg. Grand Touring FWD $31,350 187 hp, 186 torque, 25/31 mpg. That's a bunch of $$ for some torque (and a bunch of features a diesel driver may not want). Good luck Mazda.

    I find it ridiculous that the cargo cover is not a standard item on the GT and up models. Glad to see there are other options.

    2013~2016 HVAC comes on full blast, but controls are off 2016 CX-5 Touring - analog

    Anyone ever had the HVAC system off and driving down the road, system comes on full blast A/C? It happens about once a week. If I touch the controls, it shuts off. It's analog, not auto climate control. If I don't touch anything, it eventually turns back off after about 20-30 seconds. I...
