Great find! Make sure the results and explanation get posted. I've never seen an AWD system behave like that!

This sums it up... I made sure I was in a situation (god forbidding) that I wasn't going to need to apply my brakes. Steering went slightly heavy, but at spend with narrow rubber it was still completely drivable. I had to hit the start button to bring the engine back on.

Did this a couple weeks ago since nav was being odd and I wanted to hard reboot it. - 70mph, put the car in neutral, hit start, shut the car off. - Coasted for a quick few seconds (still in neutral), car fired right back up. Now had I known pulling the SD card would have done the same...

Just had the Pirelli Cinturato P7's installed... I drive a TON, getting nearly 50k miles out of the A23's. I wanted to see how much further I could stretch fuel consumption, so opt'd for both a LRR and OEM size to see if I could get even a marginal uptick in mileage. The 700TW was a bonus, but...

Lots of calculating just to determine an average speed. ;)

Yes... My CX-5's mileage both got noticeably better, as well as performance, once I crossed over the 1,000+/- mile marker.

45k miles on my `13, where I'm on the highway non-stop for work. VERY few chips to my front end, which should disprove any soft-paint theory.

No more road noise then on the day I bought it.

Folks, these seats are average by far. Go sit in a new Altima, Pathfinder, or Rogue... Nissan has NAILED what a great seat is in a fair priced vehicle. I live in my CX-5 and the seats are the only complaint I have. Not enough to get rid of the car, but I do wish they offered more in regardless...

I'd bring it in. I guarantee that wasn't supposed to do that.

I can support this. I just turned 40k miles this week, and am just now coming up on the wear bars. I might get another 5-10k out of these. The new Pirelli 800tw looks tempting as replacements.

Got a raise at work, wasting it on extra gas... Nice!

38k miles and I was doing 28-29 mpg into a headwind this week at 20 degrees. Warm day, no wind and I'm knocking on 33-34 without trying.

This. Our tank stays cold in the front of the bay, and has a hard time coming up to engine bay temps. Mine froze a couple weeks ago, and thawed once we got back over forty degrees. Shame on me for not running a -32F blend.

A few testers have already disproved that fact in the manual, as a couple have ran the tank dry and noted that the miles remaining is wickedly accurate. Just to self-validate, I ran mine to zero and it took 15.1 gallons. Assuming the 14.8 gallon tank, plus a third of a gallon up the feeder...

You got a chance to drive it at an auto show??? Oh wait. (uhm)

Reliability - Mazda and Nissan are dead-even. Consumer reports scores can be highly impacted by initial product quality, which can be modified by something as simple of how easy it is to use a nav unit. CR is a HORRIBLE representation of comparing automotive long-term reliability...

Most every bottle of water I buy fits in those... You carrying along the 40oz big slurps? :D

Anyone that has gone with a wider tire, but stayed with a 55-series, can you share your ride impact? You're technically now running a taller sidewall, and should have ever-so-slightly impacted your speedo. I was thinking a 235/50 might have been the more obvious choice.

In this case, candidly, the dealer is right... Your CX-5 will be fine. That said, next go around, you might ask that they do it by the book. :) http://www.kewengineering.co.uk/Auto_oils/oil_viscosity_explained.htm Your operating weight is the same (20), thus your mileage will NOT be impacted...
