Thanks for the detailed information everyone - appreciate it. I’m now facing this issue with my 2016 Mazda CX5. The issue came out of nowhere. Question - would it be possible just to upgrade the rear calipers and see if that resolves the problem? I’d like to stay away from my Mazda dealer(s)...

So - I'm headed off for a few weeks. Going camping and won't have access to electricity. I'll have lots of electronics with me -- camera + batteries, cell phones, headlamps, and a few external battery packs. I'll be car camping, so the CX5 will be there with me. Can I plug in a headlamp or...

So... my car window got smashed into last night at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco (imgur link here: http://imgur.com/a/r4zxW). ******* bummer since my car is not even a full year old. We had a lot of things hidden in the trunk, but one bright red backpack stood out and a methhead stole it...

Hey guys - I have a '16 CX5. Looking to add a cargo box, but I'm wondering to see if there's any solution out there that doesn't block the sunroof. We'll be doing a lot of camping and roadtripping, so space is important, but so is having the roof open on a hot sunny day =D Am I dreaming? Is...

Bought mine in April, and I'm still the same way. I love the '16 GT.

I'm using the WizGear Air Vent - you need a case if you can't open the back of your phone (ahem iPhone users, Samsung 6+). That being said, it's AWESOME. Works exactly as described. Love my purchase.

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting flaps, but I'm not sure how effective and how atheistically pleasing they would look on my white CX-5. I take my car out to trailheads for hiking and mountain biking adventures, so I will be getting some use from them. Has anyone added flaps to their car? I...

Just purchased a new 2016 Mazda CX-5 GT AWD + Technology Package in Crystal White Pearl... turned it into a Stormtrooper Edition on Day 1. :) This is taken on Highway 1 in California... I'm temporarily enjoying no plates until I get mine from the California DMV. It's such a clean look from...

In re: the action camera... are you looking to get it as a dash cam? Or something else?

It's not too bad after a few days. I had the same issue with it before, and I've been driving the CX5 for 2-3 days now.

Haha - the car might be tad cheaper, but they get us with 9-10.5% sales tax. I'm registering in the city of San Francisco and it's quite high. I should be walking out of there OTD 32,814.

Same position for me, too. The Forrester is a nice, roomy car, but MUCH less refined. I drove the CX-5 and Subaru wasn't even in the running anymore. And this is coming from a previous Honda owner. No brand bias here. And because of the CX-5, I'm here :)

Wave if you see me in SF, and I'll do that if I see you in SD :) We have the identical car except the AWD/FWD config :) White is a beautiful color on the CX5. Especially if it sits on top of all black rims IMO.

Vehicle: 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD Color: White Packages: Tech Package Extras: Free Front + Rear All Weather Mats Negotiated Price: 29,780 + fees Just agreed to buy tomorrow with the pricing above.

Gotcha. Is it a slow or fast charge? Let's say you're driving for 1 hr... would you get a 10, 20, 30, or more % increase in battery? Looks like I need to get the adapter I linked to above.
