I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it came with a full size spare in the load floor. The new 4Runner also comes with a full size spare. Basically, any "serious" 4wd SUV will still come with a full size spare, as it is a requirement to go offroad at many offroad parks or even some rural...

Nothing ricey about it. Don't look now, but lots of new vehicles (yes, SUVs included) come with larger wheels and lower profile tires. A good example is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee's 20" factory wheels. Looks fantastic and not ricey at all. I believe Infiniti puts 22" wheels on their large SUV.

Seats are a problem for me too, and I don't ever have problems with seat comfort in other cars. Mazda somehow made seats that make it feel like I'm sitting on top of them instead of in them.

These wheels make the CX-5 look FAR better than stock And these too:

I don't remember which thread I saw it, but someone on the forum has a black CX-5 with the 19" wheels plasti-dipped and it looks great because it matches the look & texture of the unpainted plastic on the car. In the picture, it matches perfectly. Does anyone remember seeing that picture on the...

Yup, that's hypersilver, which is what they should have made the CX-5 wheels in the first place. Don't get me wrong, the bright silver CX-5 wheels look good too, but hypersilver just has that nice tint to it that gives it depth and extra gloss.

Wow, that looks really good. Do those wheel have a better offset than the stock wheels? Meaning do they sit more flush with the fenders?

Okay, I wasn't trying to mess up your sale. I was just saying that so many people complain about the system that I wonder why anyone would want to convert. If it works good, then that's a good thing.

Don't worry too much about haters. You know what they say about opinions, right? If you like it, that's all that really matters. Personally, I'm on the fence. I don't usually like dark wheels, but for some reason it looks decent on the CX-5, probably because it seems to match well with the...

Well, in my case, I think 180-ish is just fine. 300 HP would definitely be overkill for the CX-5, although it would probably be a lot of fun! But like I said earlier, the extra 30 HP really transforms the way the car drives. I feels like a lot more than 30 HP from the seat of my pants, that's...

Very few tires are available in the 19" size that comes on the GT models. However, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires should be considered. They have higher ratings on TireRack.com and they're also a lot less expensive than the OEM Toyo tires.

The critics hate the Tom Tom navigation system. I haven't read a single review that says anything positive about the Tom Tom unit.

I can't get past the front end styling. It's hideous. From the sides and rear, it looks okay. But that face, well, it's something only a mother can love.....a blind mother.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any 2014 information. I only see the 2013 stuff.

Yeah, it's for life as long as you continue to pay the subscription service fees.

Are you saying that you have a paper copy of the service manual? Or do you have a digital copy? If you have a paper copy, there's no way to get it into pdf form unless you scan each and every page, and I don't think you'd want to do that.

New technology tends to start on more expensive vehicles and then trickle down to the less expensive vehicles. Mazda will eventually put more ratios in their automatic transmissions. Personally though, I'm not a big fan of too many gear ratios because they tend to "hunt" a lot over various road...

I have TMC in my Audi and it's fantastic. Super accurate and seems to always be completely up-to-date when it comes to traffic reports. Then again, I'm in the U.S. and not the U.K., so maybe it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Disagree completely. It's really not about hard numbers or about racing.....it's more about transforming the vehicle into something that can more easily handle real-world driving situations, such as driving up hills (or better yet--mountains) or merging onto the highway. I drove the 2.0L and...

I like having a power point that's always hot. In the past, I've done just the opposite mod to some of my cars. A power point that is always hot is very useful for stuff like charging a phone when the car is off.
