    Small OE spare on AWD vehicles

    I found an OEM wheel and made my own full size spare for my 2016.5. you will need to build up the sides of the cargo area so the cargo for will shoot level though and you will lose some vertical cargo space. For me it was worth it and nice piece of mind having a full size spare when I'm out...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I had to jump start it for the first time because my son left his 12v electric blanket turned on. The battery was completely drained.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I hear you on the bugs. I started calling my CX-5 the BEV (bug extermination vehicle). I have never had so many bug remains on a car before this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Worst car to take to the Drive In Movie Theater?

    When I go to the drive-in, I always use over the ear FM headsets, sound quality is pretty good and blocks out other noise. Plus side is I don't have to worry about running my battery down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Primarily my time is spent with my kids, our favorite thing is just getting...

    Yeah, he did acknowledge that it wasn't connected. My concern is that after it is connected, they will not put on the correct trim to cover it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
