I'm on a three year lease then it's gone, time for a new one. Too many electronics and computers onboard nowadays for it to be dependable for 10 yrs.

Reading all these post about gas millage, it seems to be an obsession with some people. Try driving a pickup truck for the last 13 yrs like I did. I get twice the millage and smile every time I pull into a gas station.

Another one for you. While washing the car I heard a "thunk". All the doors locked while I was leaning in the cargo area, the hatch was open. Fob was in my pocket.

Notice the fence isn't damaged much. That brown car must have flipped right over it.

I looked all over for the practical cargo area numbers and wasn't satisfied. I knew this box would fit but I wanted to be absolutely sure. The box is 36 inches wide, 24 inches tall and 52 inches long. The front seats are all the way back. If they were moved forward you could fit a box 2ft x 3ft...

Have a look, can you spot them https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.1867286,-122.9242371,121m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

From Ottawa Canada. Wind driven snow, howling from the north and one foot deep.

Had to go out today in freezing rain. The roads were salted and not too slippery. Parking lots were a mess so I tossed it around a bit. Nothing!!! I really had to do some reckless driving to get any tail wagging or skidding so I stopped. This little beast is sure footed and nimble, I'm happy.

I've driven all types of vehicles in snow, rear wheel drive, front wheel, 4x4 Jeep and GMC. The CX 5 AWD has them all beat, what a blast. Not talking about off road but city driving with just under a foot of snow on the ground overnight. I really have to do something stupid to get it to...

I started shopping last Feb. I read all I could find and watched every Youtube I could find. This video is what convinced me to get a CX5 in May.

This is my third Mazda, the first two were years ago. I never really noticed Mazdas on the road till I bought this one, now I see them everywhere. I had never noticed how many SUVs are on the road either, seems to be the vehicle of choice.

It's easiest to simply point touch on the screen. Then go to 'select point' on the bottom menu bar. This will list all that is available at or near this location.

I think I solved it. The triple symbol is when there are multiple POI too close together to have individual markers. This would make for a very clutered map. If you select that symbol it will show all the locations there, often on different streets but listing the correct address for each. I had...

Well!! That was all useless information, sorry about that. I just came back from a short run and paid attention to those symbols, I don't have a clue? All other POI are clearly marked, fuel, church, bank etc.
