I'm a few months shy of three years and am just about to replace one of the key fob batteries. The other one hasn't shown any signs of needing replacement yet. I randomly use either key fob, they're both in the key drawer and which ever one I grab is the fob for the day, so no idea if one gets...

Radio plays with one push of the start button (no foot on brake). Full use of everything with two pushes (windows, air, etc).

I was torn between the soul red and stormy blue (the 2013 dark blue), I saw the blue with the sand/black interior and loved it. I really liked the two color interior and love the dark blue. I saw a blue reflex on the lot last week and like it too and a friend just bought a white one and it's...

My normal everyday mileage tends to hover around 27mpg, I take some side roads to/from work and the freeway other times (usually not a lot of traffic). Road trips I'm in the 33-36 range (usually at 70+mph and AC). 2013 with 14,000 miles and I track on fuelly. Still happy with this vehicle...

The first week or so that I drove my CX-5 I felt the same about the lack of rear visibility, but I got use to it quickly and don't notice anymore.

Finally did a longer road trip, on the way home I filled up just before getting on the highway. Did mostly 70-75 with the A/C on about half the time. Pulled off twice for rest areas, went over the Grapevine (4000 elev.) and hit a little bit of LA traffic (on a Sunday). South down 99 to 5, Merced...

It mutes so you can hear your phone call, otherwise you have the nav voice cutting in and drowning out your and the callers voice. It would be irritating. The directions still show on the nav screen.

I had rear seat passengers ask me to turn the AC down a little, so even without the vents it seems to flow around nicely.

I previously had a CRV and loved it. The older style with the back door that opened to the side. When I was looking at cars this time around I started with the CRV. I still liked it but the price with some options I wanted along with the minivan look turned me off. Then I drove the CX-5, liked...

You should actually have the tires checked, my daughter ended up with a flat after borrowing a friends car that he had scratched the tires on a curb a couple of days earlier. They looked fine for the first few days and then one flattened.

Any chance you are double clicking the remote lock button too quickly in succession? If you click quickly, then only the lights flash. If you wait a second between clicks, the horn will sound on the second click.

Wowsa! You did get lucky (and so did the deer). I had to stop a few times a bit quicker than I would normally want to, and was very happy with the braking power. I hope to never need to test it quite like you did. Other than that, sounds like a good trip. Safe travels.

My hazard lights flash when locking with a regular keyless entry (no perimeter alarm), and if I press again within 5 seconds the horn will sound. I'm fairly certain that isn't a programmable feature for us, but the dealer may be able to change it. That info would be in the manual. Actually the...

You disabled which, the nav intersection camera warning or the over the speed limit setting, both? I turned on the intersection camera setting the other day just to see what it was like and it bings on the freeway near one exit where there are cameras at the first intersection off the freeway...

Any chance your dashboard light switch is turned all the way down? I have no idea if that does anything to the center display, but if turning it all the way up keeps it bright, maybe turning it all the way down turns it dim. Or check your illumination settings in the center display setup. I...
