This should help.

Hey there! Since this place is so dead I figured I'd register a response. Congrats on the RB exhaust! Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for as well. I'm thinking of getting a 2 and am researching people's impressions on aftermarket parts, which got me here. Cheers!

Yep, that would have been a winner for me as well.

Yep, I drove the 3 too. The problem with that line is you can only get the big engine with the higher trim package. The silly retractable heads up display and all the other bells and whistles don't contribute to the zoom-zoom ethos. And the performance isn't all that exciting imo. No...

Thanks bud! Wow they only offered $800--I need to prepare myself to get less than expected. Congrats on the CX-5 btw, my wife has been rolling a 2013 GT and loves it.

My wife the same. I'll do anything for her but I draw the line at my transmission. It was in our wedding vows. (bs) Were you still running the Miata rims on yours? That was a sweet setup. You got a lot more out of your P5 than I. My plan is to trade in at a dealership--I'll be happy if I...

I bought my P5 10.5 years ago with 52k on the odo. Now it's got 135k and over my ownership, it *never* broke down on me. Started right up every time I turned the key, and got me to my destination every time. At 100k I replaced the timing belt and water pump, full expecting it to take me...

Update--just in case anyone else has this problem and stumbles across this thread. I recently took the car into the dealer for an oil change and was informed there was an ECU update, so it was reflashed and the problem has not occurred since. (drinks)

Some great theories; thanks for the responses. I'll check the battery, probably take it to the dealer as well and will post back with the outcome... It's been my daily for 10 years (The CX5 is my wife's)--I hope the P5 never dies!

Read the codes: P0301 Cylinder 1 misfire detected PENDING I guess it had some bad misfire events and the electronics freaked out. Maybe the lumpy idle was because only three cylinders were firing... Anyway I drove about 20 miles this afternoon and it was fine. Guess I'll keep rolling...

Wow, it's been a while since I visited this forum. Hopefully you guys can lend me some insight. I've got a '13 CX5 with 21K on the clock. In autoshifting mode, I executed a passing maneuver this morning, the engine spun up pretty high when suddenly the dash lit up like a Christmas tree...

Pretty well if you drive on smooth roads. If not consider 205/45.

A better metric for determining whether a specific tire will rub is the section width, which is usually provided in spec sheets and available on tire manufacturers' websites.

Really? That's surprising--but not impossible! No rubbing against the rear fender? Have you done the speedbump test with a full load of occupants?

Right.
