    I Hate My CX-5

    I've owned a few low-powered subcompacts prior to jumping into the CX-5. Lack of power never bothered me as those cars tended to be lighter and thus felt quite nimble to drive. The CX-5 has a power-to-weight ratio similar to a Honda Fit or Mazda 2, and I've driven both those cars and didn't mind...

    Crave More Power on your 2.0L? It Might be Your Lucky Day

    The 2016 Mazda MX-5 is rumored to have the same 2.0 liter engine that is in the Mazda 3 and CX-5. http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2016-mazda-mx-5-miata-purportedly-coming-with-155-hp-engine-91623.html If that's true, aftermarket support for this engine is about to shoot through the roof...

    Mazda CX-5 Track Driven at Thunderhill Raceway

    It's time that someone put the claims of all the Mazda executives and biased reviewers to the test. I have to admit that I considered starting this thread before taking the CX-5 out on the track, but it was my first participation in a track day event. The nightmare was having to update my own...

    Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs CX-5

    Apparently, Eibach already already has the Pro-Kit lowering springs released for the CX-5 in the UK. I am a fan Eibach, since I had a set of Eibach Pro-kit installed in my previous car and loved the look and the ride was not too firm. H&R kit lowers a bit too much for me. I wonder when they...

    Ebay CX-5 Door Scuff Protector. Not Bad.

    One month into owning this CX-5 Sport and it has been great. I found myself stepping on the door sill a lot when I am exiting the car, so I bought the Ebay door sills so that I don't have to wipe down the plastic as much. The thing is, the photo on the Ebay listing as well as the previous...

    Hi Guys, Looking into a set of rims for my CX-5, I noticed that the only wheel sizes under discussion in these forums are 17" and 19". Those are the standard and available option sizes directly from Mazda factory. Why haven't there been any threads on 18" wheels for this car? I think they...
