    Just when you thought they couldn't get any uglier....

    ~ I agree. The Mirai is pretty darn ugly; but it still isn't as ugly and the new Prius... that poor thing should be put out of its misery! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Not sure if it's a full detail; I haven't had it done yet. When I had the oil changed and winter wheels/tires put on it was snowing like crazy, so of course I didn't have the detail. [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh, Mazda offers the map updates, cool. I couldn't remember. Thanks for clarifying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    16.5 CX5 GT- front defrost doesn't work well

    The heated seats work too well in mine, after about 10 minutes on high I have to set it back to low or my bottom is On Fire! Also, heated outside rear view mirrors? I don't know if mine has that... I had an Isuzu Rodeo with that feature and it was really nice. The rear defrost on my CX5 works...

    My dealer included all kinds of stuff, first three services, free detail, free navigation map updates for like three years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You mean from all the alcohol and vinegar on their paint? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh yeah, I see what you're saying about the wind sucking the snow onto the back window. I haven't experienced that yet, but assume I will at some point this winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To be honest, the rear defrost in mine works brilliantly. The front though, yeah... oh well. The TCS and AWD are outstanding, so I'm still in in love. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks but I'm in Colorado. :) Also, I didn't use the washer fluid at all during this, I've done that before and it's a MESS! Interesting though about CA not allowing above a certain amount of alcohol in the fluid ... I'd say something about CA, but not on a family-friendly forum ;) Thanks...

    You're probably right about different speeds vs. constant speed, but the temp was plenty hot whilst I was driving. I didn't use the washer fluid at all, I know better than that! I've made that mistake before and it was a mess! :) I am definitely going to look into winter/ice specific blades...

    It's interesting about the thickness of the glass, but it totally makes sense. I'm going to try the RainX on the windshield and in the fluid (about how much?) and see how that works. I can't believe your original OEM blades are still good, that's crazy! You must live somewhere that's humid. Out...

    16.5 CX5 GT- front defrost doesn't work well

    I can't agree more! Defrost elements where the wipers sit is brilliant! When this was happening I had been driving for almost 45 minutes, and I cleared the windshield completely, the ice was just accumulating below the wipers, and in several other places on the windshield. So, everything was...

    No, it was blowing very hot air, I think I said that, (if not, my typo). But, the heater and defrost always blown very hot air when I turn up the temp. I haven't checked the coolant though, that's a good idea, thanks. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
