    Just bought 2018 CX-5 GT w/premiu pkg - Beware of dealer installed hitch!

    I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that banged up hole! Looks like the dealer just gave the job to the apprentice. The OEM hitch installed in Australia looks completely different.

    Anyone have trouble deciding between the CX-5 and CX-9?

    Plenty of options out there to facilitate extra cargo space without having to get a larger car. Depends how often you would need to utilize the extra space in the CX-9 otherwise just get a roof pod and save yourself a few thousand.

    2017 - 2019 wheels

    I have the 17 but I think the slight change in shades on the 19 make the pizza slices look like a family size. I think the 16 wheels matched the car and made it look more aggressive. Mazda have to introduce some nice black wheels I reckon.

    Recommendations to repair hole on 2017 CX-5 roof rain gutter cover

    I agree, they do look nice! However, don't really like the cross bars that go with the rails. I prefer longer cross bars installed, Something like the Thule roof racks to take advantage of the roof space.
