    Here's my top alternative vs another 5er

    Subaru continues to intrigue me every time I am ready to buy a car, but when it's time and I test drive it and compare it to the competition, it rarely rates towards the top of my short list when I dwindle it down to my top picks. IMO: They have been coasting for a long time now trying to sell...

    A/C Vent Trim Removal

    Did you guys retape the vent covers? what kind did you use? I've taken them off before, but never did the vinyl because I didnt have the vent tape handy.

    Just bought, finance guy said the warranty will be void if i do the oil changes???

    If I ever got told that blatant lie, I would of simply stood up and walked out. That is utterly ridiculous and I would want to leave a lasting impression on them the next time they think about saying this that there is a good chance of them losing the sale.

    I would have regretted not getting it, but I'm always a all or nothing kind of person so I went fully loaded.

    First car with AWD - any advice on how to maintain the wheels?

    Just regular rotation and know that if you get a flat it becomes a lot different of an issue than a RWD or FWD car. The tread depth cant different 3/32nds of an inch. A lot of the times I got a flat, I was forced to replace all 4 tires on my evo. if you don't, it puts a lot of strain on your...

    Bought a new 2017 CX5 - should I purchase extended warranty?

    I bought it. The LED lights are something like $1200 each to replace alone.

    This thing is not useless!

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-For-MAZDA-CX-5-cx5-central-control-storage-box-glove-box-for-cx-5/32470967630.html I use this. It holds my rewards cards, gym card, and mini pocket light. This gives it a angle which makes it harder for stuff to come out. So far nothing has fallen...

    The All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5 Units Have Arrived in U.S. Ports!

    If your looking for one in the bay area, I talked to a friend who is a manager at DGDG. They said most Mazda's are getting 3 to 4. Somehow he lucked out and is getting 39 of them. So if your looking for one in the area, that would be the spot.

    Mazda CX-5 2017 and 2016.5 US/NA Spec Comparison

    If I was choosing based on these specs, I would go with the 2016.5. Slightly better gas, more ground clearance, more room in 2nd row, hits max hp and torq at lower numbers.

    Cargo Cover with Rubber Cargo Tray

    1. no 2. no. There isn't much room where the spare tire is unless you plan on talking it off, even than you cant fit the cargo cover. I am amble to hide a ice scraper/snow brush and thats about it.

    JD power ratings are out

    It has the FJ Cruiser as one of the highest rated vehicles. For one they stopped making them awhile ago and for another, it was because they had a ton of issues. I wouldn't trust this at all lol.

    2017 Cherokee vs 2016.5 CX-5

    The Trailhawk Cherokee was probably my 2nd favorite SUV out of all of them. I would never get the Jeep though because of the bad history of them. I've yet to meet a person who has owned a Jeep that didn't regret it or that didn't tell others to not buy a Jeep.

    What should I paint my chrome vents with?

    So I printed CopraSJP's paperwork and plan to get it swapped out, but is there one for the center vents? That one and the chrome around the shifter is what blinds me, not the side vents.
