Yesterday I drove a 2016 XC-90 200 miles on mostly twisty, hilly roads to the Washington coast. It had the 2.0L Turbo w/316 HP and 295 Ft/lbs. of torque with about 5,000 miles on it. It was fully loaded minus the hybrid drive. I didn't study it or read the Owner's manual, just got in and drove...

I filled up Saturday and was surprised how cheap it was ($1.999/gal). This is for top tier regular at Costco in Bellingham, WA. Only cost $23!(wiggle) What have you been paying for gas? Six years ago a lot of people were speculating gas would be $6-$8/gal.

The class action windshield lawsuit against Mazda? Last year there were some trial lawyers trolling for bites. Now the link says "page not found": http://www.lewlaw.com/practicearea/d...ve-windshield/ My guess: When they crunched the rate of damage of CX-5 windshields they came out the same or...

Performance is astronomical (and it has a price to match). But if cost is no object, this is a fun toy: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/29/9411049/tesla-model-x-suv-release-price-video-elon-musk

I found this sort of funny: http://www.vwarcher.com/clp-2016-volkswagen-tiguan-vs-2016-mazda-cx-5?utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=2015aug28 They decided to compare the much more expensive VW Tiguan to the least expensive CX-5. In my book the CX-5 still looks better...

Please do not cling to your CX-5 if someone is trying to steal it, no matter how much love you feel for it: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/solihull-mormon-bishop-coma-after-he-was-dragged-along-road-by-thief-who-stole-his-mazda-cx5-1515944 Now the journalist, Lewis Dean who wrote this story, needs...

I thought the service interval on my cabin air filter was not too critical since I live in rainy Western Washington but it looks like all the off-road adventuring I've done took it's toll after 25,000 miles: So order some spare cabin filters and keep your climate control functioning...

This shows you don't need AWD to do a little light off-roading: http://safeshare.tv/w/ShbgvwazCZ The whole video is interesting but the off-road footage doesn't start until after 4:15.

My CX-5 is coming up on 3 years old and it's lived all this time without any paint protection, no wax, no polish. It's been filthy dirty most of it's life as I've only washed it about 3-4 times and only one of those times was a real wash, the others were a coin-op high pressure sprayer. To make...

This is excellent! I just returned from a trip over the North Cascades and when I filled up it took 13.581 gallons (still had over 1.5 gallons left) and I traveled 517 miles for an average MPG of 38.2 mpg! That beats my previous best tank of 507 miles. This was with the OEM 17" tires at 36 psi...

While off-roading this year I've noticed an occasional loud clunk when my front wheels catch air and the wheel drops all the way down and hangs from the strut. It sounds just like the top bolt holding the strut on needs to be tightened. This never happens while driving normally on pavement, even...

The low price combined with the good fuel economy of the CX-5 means I'm spending almost nothing on gas these days. Now I just need to decide what to do with all that cash building up in my bank account. (nana)
