    Touch-up up paint for 2017 CX5?

    Sadly, pretty much any really pretty color is going to get pretty roughed up...

    2013 CX-5 Power seat parts

    Sadly, it looks like even online places like RealMazda Parts only have the base as well. You could possibly call them and ask if they have just the motors though, I've had good experiences with them in the past.

    Cx5 2016 gps

    Just because it has the antenna doesn't mean it can support GPS. It also uses a compass to tell which direction you're going, not GPS. You'd need this kit from RealMazdaParts to add navigation, P/N 0000-8F-Z09C

    Adding a subwoofer to a non Bose 2017

    The best way is running it directly off of the headunit.

    CX-5 headlight (lowbeam) upgrade: Halogen 9012 HIR bulbs

    I'd follow what pipemajor has suggested. Projectors+HIDs are amazing, and once you've used them it's hard to go back.

    Fuel induction service

    There's no way there's an issue with your fuel injectors at that low of a mileage. I'd get a second opinion.

    Soul Red 2016 Mazda 3

    Buffing isn't a good idea, especially if you're using a polish. Since it removes a small layer of paint every time, it's not the best to do regularly. If you wash it with proper technique, and keep a good wax/sealant on it, you shouldn't have to polish it more than once every couple of years...

    That's really weird. Have you taken it to the dealer?

    It's about $31 for the MSP brackets, and $3 for the normal ones from RMP.

    Newbie

    I will say that pretty much any car is going to feel stiff compared to a Jeep, doesn't really matter what is is. There's significantly less suspension travel available, and is designed to feel sportier than an SUV. I'd check to see what all is in the service record, and to see how it compares to...

    Need recommendation!

    Pretty much everything everyone else has said is 100% accurate. Maintenance is key, as well as doing any sort of preventative parts replacements throughout its life. Since there are a lot of things that can be worn at that point in its life, good service records are super important.

    Mazda 3 Bumper Damage

    While it's not cheap, RealMazdaParts has the OE bumper for about $200. Depending on how you're feeling, you can have the bumper painted and try to replace it yourself, or you can have a shop paint and install it.

    2017 Mazda 3 Sport hatchback tachometer condensation

    Can't say I have, that's completely unacceptable in a brand new vehicle.

    Ongoing misfire/stuttering problem after many parts replaced, need help!

    I don't think that it would be the carbon build up. I've had plenty of vehicles that've had carbon buildup and usually it's just overall reduced power. Unless you can get a boreoscope in there, I'd look elsewhere.
