I was driving mine the other day on some nice back roads and was able to play and I have to say the thing that popped in to my head was " Rewarding​" if you have track experience or any good back ground in high performance driving these things just seem to fall in to a nice sooth flow that...

A non turbo engine will always tend to be more reliable in the long run compared to a big engine that doesn't have to be pushed as hard. Now there maybe some areas where the 2.5 in the Mazda maybe pushed more than it should for longevity but only time will tell. Mazda and Honda like to use...

I'd try a clay bar first to see if you can clean it up.. it can be a labor intensive project but I have had good luck getting stuff like that cleaned up. As long as it didn't go past your clear coat it's generally save able. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

A grey will generally his the road from but if I had had the option for that red when I bought my 16.5 I may have gone with it.. just saw one on a transport the other day and all I so thing was "damn that's sexy" Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I haven't driven a cx5 with 19s only the 17s.. how much of a difference is the ride? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I guess I have averaged about 25 in my 2.5 AWD but I always get lower mileage than everyone else. I can get In o e of my work trucks that my guys have been driving and it will drop 1 to 2 mpg from what they were getting. I'm either in stop and go traffic and running around the city or I'm...

I wish.. I had considered trying to build one. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Are those the 7" wide or did you get the 7 1/2" version? I've been eyeing the cx9 version of that wheel that is a 20x8 aswell but I'm not sure I want 10" wheels. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Looks great.. the night I bought my 5 I was standing in the show room looking at a 6 with those wheels and thinking those would look great. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

It depends on the type of driver you are. If you want a car to just get you where you are going and as long as it gets you there in the comfort you expect then I'd say Honda. If you like to drive and like the feel of a sports car but need more utility and want to be able to get some where and...

Another option I'm getting ready to try is a mustang 18" spare wheel with 155/85/18 that comes out to 28.4 ". I started looking for a different spare for a completely different reason than this ( I'm doing a fiberglass sub enclosure and need a wheel that will give e me the air space I want)...

You would think that by the time they released the 2017 it would have been worked out. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

It will be interesting to see what they do. If they do bring the 2.5 turbo down to the cx5 it would be a hard decision between the diesel and that. I love my cx-5 but sometimes I just miss the power my cx7 had and he'll everything else I drive has at least 100hp over the Mazda witch at times is...

I have the same issue with my 2016.5. I for the life of me can't figure it out. What brand of jump drive are you using. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That's the size I've been thinking about. I'm debating on the wheels , I have about a year before I need to pull the trigger but using the Mazda 6 factory wheel like this one is tempting https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123859807 Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
