    I might have a problem, but you can't have too much red in your garage now, can you? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    That seems to make sense if the traffic is flowing. My 23-24mpg is mostly on the CT-15 at rush hour. It's a 55mph limit but is either doing close to zero or near 80mph. The police tend to leave it be so long as it flows. There aren't many places for them to hang out or pull you over. Sent...

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    I'm guessing you're driving close to what the HUD is showing most of the time? I cant get that at 75-80, more like 29mpg at a constant speed AWD. 23-24 stop/start highway with some slow city driving. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    Thanks Major. I ordered some of the new VLED bulbs which have yet to hit the shelves, based in part on your recommendation. I went for the 5k bulbs as I prefer a more neutral white. Seems odd that Mazda didn't install LEDs in the interior...but it gives me a project. Sent from my iPad using...

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    Daft question - do you disconnect the battery before installing or is that overkill? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    No CD Player Available in new 2017 Mazda CX-5

    Completely agree with this but am to lazy to deal with the extra cord. Maybe I'll overcome my inertia but wouldn't you lose handsfree telephone? Fwiw, a good HD radio station sounds better than Pandora over BT on the Bose system to my ears. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Full UK spec brochure is now available.......

    That's an odd one.....I imagine you can get stone leather on the top trim level? In the US radar cruise is included in the top spec and you can choose black or parchment leather for more exterior colours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the explanation. I think we both need a small scratch or two so we can stop fawning over the fabulous new paint finish and get on with our lives! Does look damned good right now thou.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Thanks - based on the use of the word indefinitely, do you think conventional waxing might not ever need to applied? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    No, none at all! Poorly worded on my part. Was attempting to convey my denial/envy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hey I'm not arguing with either of you, I'm just trying to make myself feel better given we don't have them here! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A wiseman said design is effectively free so when you are resource strapped it's a good area to focus on to differentiate your product from the herd. They've done a nice job with their product line inside and out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    You can use that product when the paint isn't perfectly dry? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
