    Hood protector - Is one available?

    I've got about 10,000 miles on it and I'm noticing a lot of chips in the paint on the hood of the car. I'd like to get one of those little black plastic pieces that protects the paint. Do these actually work? Does Mazda make one? I've checked the site and came up with nothing.

    Wasn't sure where to put this. I read a very interesting article today found here about manufacturers using speakers near the firewall to mimic engine noise. The GTI and the M5 use these speakers to send noise to the innocent and unaware driver. This is the first I've heard of these devices...

    A big thank you to Skouly for posting all the info about the wheel specs. However, I'm searching for a good looking aftermarket rim for the CX-5 that can bolt right on without using any spacers or adjustments.

    rare violent and rough engine starts....

    I've owned the vehicle for about a month now. It has only happened maybe 3 times, but upon startup, the engine seems to be starving for gas and almost cuts out as it desperately tries to run. This is only for about 2-3 seconds. It isn't the high rpm running for about 30 seconds, I understand...

    Is it safe to leave CX-5 on jacks for about 7-10 days?

    Hello all - I saw on here that the European spec CX-5s are available with a wicked looking set of black rims. I fell in love with them. Now I must have my stock silver rims powder coated black (US-Spec). The businesses that do the powder coating cannot store my vehicle there so I have to...

    March 18th Delivery to port - When to expect arrival at dealership?

    Hello all, I'm hoping some folks here were also told that their CX-5 arrived in port on the 18th and that they have a better idea when it's supposed to be at the dealership. On March 18th my salesman relayed that the ship arrived in port and they were trying to get the CX-5's out the door...
