    Odd Clock Problem on a 2017

    Every so often (i would say 2x a month) on start up the time on the clock displays "12:07" no matter what time it is. Nothing has been changed. It eventually reverts back to the correct time later in the day after a new start up. Any ideas? Dealer is 45 minutes away so I don't want to go...

    2017 gt

    Took delivery of my new baby last week - traded in my 09 4 cylinder GT. This car is incredible. Too many people complain of a lack of a v-6 or a turbo but this baby moves. True, 0-60 is not outstanding (like the rest of the car), but I could care less. I prefer driving fast on winding roads...

    Weird Key Issue on a 2015

    The key used ever day works fine. The spare seems to loose its ability to unlock or start the car if not used often. However once the car is opened and or started with the main key, the spare works fine. Also, if I open up the bad key and test the battery it will work fine. Battery tests at...

    Odd problem (3 day old car). When I insert a CD it says "reading (or something like that)" but CD does not appear on the menu so it cannot be played. Everything else seems to work fine. Any advice? Waiting foe dealer to call me back. FYI - 3 different store bought music CD's tried.

    Interior LED in a 2016.5 GT

    Just took delivery so I have not investigated much yet. Are any of the interior lights LED's? The domes seem to be a bright white while the visor and hatch seem to be a dull yellow. Looking at the kits from Precision LED and prices have gone down considerably. Thanks.

    09 GTi with Squeaking Noise while Idling

    Hi. My 09 has 63k miles. When I am idling I hear a squeaking noise under the hood. It goes away if I put the car in neutral. I will have it looked at but I like to have an idea of what may be causing it. Thanks.

    Thule Crossroad Users?

    The factory rails are almost triangular in shape. I have some Thule's from my old car and noticed they they don't seem to sit properly on the rails because of the pointed top and the almost flat shape on the inside of the rails. Has anyone had issues/problems? I will be carrying boats and...

    Wheel Locks?

    Are they really useful in deterring theft or are they just a useless $55 option put on most new cars. Is someone really going to try and steal OEM wheels of of a car? I took mine off right away as I was afraid I would loose the "key" and get stuck somewhere remote not being able to change a...

    Why 19" Wheels

    LOve my GT. Unfortunately it only comes with 19" wheels. I know all the car makers are doing the same, not just Mazda. Other than looks (which is very subjective), is there any advantage to 19" wheels? I don't even want to think about what 4 new tires will cost me when they need to be...

    Detailers Unite - 2

    Glad to see all the detail junkies and read about their madness. I am old school (very) and have never used clay. I just use a polish or glaze before I wax. My cars have always been dark in color and I use high quality products. I also wax on wax off by hand. The paint always looks and...

    Impact Driver for Wheel Lug Nuts

    I was wondering if a Bosch 12v cordless impact driver would have enough power to loosen and tighten the lug nuts. I am talking about casual use, not an everyday occurrence. I have some Bosch 12v tools so I would like to stay with 12v if possible. My other option is Ryobi 18v cordless driver...

    Roof Rails

    A lot has been said about the "ugly" chrome colored rails. I must say that they look great on my black CX-5. Car is dirty right now, so I will post a picture when she looks better.

    Mazda UK Pet Barrier

    Nice steel barrier Mazda accessory, but not available here in the US. Does anyone know how to order non US parts? I called a couple of US dealers and they told me they cannot order. I found 1 dealer in the UK that does ship to the US but shipping is over $50 and so the cost is over $300 USD...

    New 2014 GT Nav Not Working

    Hi. Just picked up the car last night. Everything in the head unit seems to work except the Nav. Did a reset several times by removing the card but nothing. Dealer is about 45 min away so I'd like to see if I can fix it myself - without going crazy of course. Any ideas? The dipslay says...
