    Side bar question: Has anyone used a portable lithium power charger to jump start their CX5? My battery now 2 years old and am thinking of buying one as preventative measure.

    Fuel Injector Cleaning

    Thanks everyone. Your responses are what I expected. I did not have it done. My CX-5 running great. Zero issues since I got it, except for the recall on the cylinder issue.

    Space Behind Rear Seats

    If you take the longer clubs out (driver, 3 wood) two bags will fit horizontally with backseats up. Those clubs can then be placed on top of bags. Have also put one seat back up and added third bag at 90 degrees on top of the two bags placed horizontally. That way third player can sit in the...

    Fuel Injector Cleaning

    20k miles on my 2018 Grand Touring. Had oil/filter, standard checks done last week. The only recommendation was to have fuel injectors cleaned. Is this something most are doing at 20k miles or overkill by my dealership?

    2017~2024 Windshield Cracks Easily

    My 2018 has taken a few rock hits to the windshield that I thought sure would result in a crack. The windshield seems more durable than other vehicles I have owned (Mustang, Toyota, HHR).

    2019 Touring CX-5 mpg and what gas?

    All the Shell gas stations (top tier) gas, have been bought out by Speedway here in Tucson. Does anyone have history using Speedway gas? I have read it is not Top Tier, no detergent additives.
