I don't think I ever experienced the alarm on this car since I've owned it. For some reason today it caught my attention so wanted to see how it works. I closed all the windows and roof vent. Exited the car and hit the lock button. Went into the house for a few minutes. I returned with just...

My Drivers seat power slide started squealing. Still moves just sounds really bad. Seems the only option is to replace the entire lower unit of the seat. Has anyone done this yet? Curious how hard it might be. Thanks. $380 with $28 shipping is the best price I've found so far.. Much...

My power seat started making a loud noise when moving it forward and backwards. It moves.. for now.. just annoying. No noise going up or down. Anyone else experience this problem and know of a fix. Thanks!

Hi. wondering what most people are using for brakes for their CX5's. Saw the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1623 ($34) for the fronts and Wagner QC1846 ($63) for the rears. Autozone sells the Duralast Gold ($74) or Duralast Max ($84) with lifetime warrantee. Guess I could go with the Mazda...

Looking to order pads for my 2016 CX5 Grand Touring. Called the dealer and $118 for the front set.. WOW. Amazon has them for $58 and list them as OEM K0Y1-33-28ZA-MV from Avondale Mazda. They list as fitting 2013-2016 but I've read on this site that 2016's are different? Anyone know the...

Ok.. This might sound petty but I need to get another wrench to remove the oil filter on my cx-5. I have two of the strap type and both are too big. Heading to autoparts tomorrow to see what's available. Is anyone using a different type of tool to remove the spin on oil filter? Not much room...

Hi. I'm coming up on my first oil change at 7500 miles. I pulled out the stick and noticed I'm at the bottom mark. I would think it's about a quart low. Does that sound normal? Do Mazdas use oil like the Subaru's? I don't recall checking it when I purchased the car but I'm guessing I would...

Just passed the 4K mark on my CX-5 GT. Over half way to my first service which I'm probably going to do myself. I've asked my dealer to send me the free oil change maintenance program which lists everything they do. Still waiting to receive but I think I remember it saying they change the...

Is there a special phrase to start the navigation? I've tried "Navigate" ; "Find an Address"; "Navigate to.. and provide an address. Seems like nothing really works. Seems the Navigate to and providing the full address sometimes causes the system to ask me to enter the full address. Just...

Wanted to know how comfortable these seats are in the CX5-GT. Took another test drive last week and for some reason the seat side bolsters bugged me. I believe they are meant to hug you in the seat. Not sure my seat likes hugging. Wife kept telling me that it's new leather and it has to...

It's Saturday morning and I woke up thinking.. Dangerous place to be. :-) Curious how people drive their cars. A couple weeks back someone posted their driving experience when first getting their new car. I questioned them driving their car what appeared to be a little hard for a brand new...

Does anyone know how the roof rails are installed on these cars? Dealer has a car I want and it has roof rails which I don't want. He said he could remove the rails and swap them with a car that doesn't have them. Said they just bolt into anchors under the plastic roof strips so it wouldn't...

Can someone explain how these rebates or incentives apply? Let's say the car's MSRP is $32,500 and Mazda offers a $500 incentive. Does that mean the MSRP drops to $32,000? I don't do anything with MSRP when deciding what I want to pay for a vehicle. It's Invoice plus a couple hundred. I...

Still was trying to decide if I want this package. I had the opportunity to test drive yesterday and this is what I learned. It's hard to test drive a car to test the safety features. :) Knew this going into it but wanted to verify or validate some of my suspisions. The best safety features...

At first I was thinking I can do without this package but for some reason I keep going back to it. I don't see myself relying on it vs good common sense and looking BUT an extra set of eyes just in case is what brings me back. I've read where the auto dimming head lights don't work that great...

Ive been waiting for this vehicle for a while. Dealer called yesterday to tell me they just got a delivery so we headed right down. The one we played with was white in color. The over all car looked great. Interior looked a lot classier then the 2015 they had in the show room. It was daytime...

I was emailing with a local dealer for a price on the 2016 GT CX5 with the Technology package. She responded with the following: "The 2016 CX-5 Grand Tourings also offer an i-Activesense package which will include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with close proximity Warning, Smart City Break...

Does anyone know of upgrades/improvements from the 2014 to the 2015 model years? I've been reading about upgraded tech packages and such but nothing concrete. Since the 2015's are now showing up at dealerships can we expect that what's there is what's in the 2015 model OR do you think they...

Hi.. Newbie here. I'm in the market for a new vehicle and the Cx-5 GT is on top of my list. From what I'm reading the GT comes stock with the Bose system. If you want navigation it's $650 which I believe adds a TomTom GPS. From what I understand Tom Tom's are not very good or I should say...
