    2017 Blind spot monitor issues.

    2017 Mazda3 5 door, 6 speed with 35k miles, purchased private party in May 2018 with 23k. Northeast US. Been a great car, but one very annoying issue I've been having is that the passenger side blind spot monitor stays light up when with no car next to me/behind me in the right lane for minutes...

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    The dealership I bought it from called me back and said they wouldn't be able to look at it until next week, and at this time they didn't have any loaner cars so I'm basically SOL when it comes to another vehicle if they decide to keep it for more than a day. There's another Mazda dealership...

    Ahh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    Thanks! Yeah, I left a message with the service department a couple hours ago and haven't heard back yet. I'm not really a big fan of the dealership I purchased it from... Could I take it to a different one? This is my first new car, so the whole warranty and service stuff is uncharted territory...

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    Hmmm... Yeah it doesn't happen too often with mine, maybe once every other week or so. But the hard clunk I heard this morning has me worried.

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    I went out on my lunch break to see if maybe the floor mat was interfering with the pedal (it wasn't) and I pressed it to the floor with my hand. There is some "give" before it feels like the clutch is engaging, though it's hard to tell how much exactly. I'll check it again after work.

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    My co-worker (mechanic) used to work at a dealership and said it might be the slave cylinder, so I'll probably make an appointment to get it checked out.

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    Because it doesn't always happen, I'm worried I won't be able to replicate it for the dealer. But I may have it checked out just to be safe. How many miles do you have and does it still have issues? Have you noticed any patterns?

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    Thanks for your reply. I was wondering the same thing... Maybe I'll just wait until my first service and see if the problem gets better or worse by then. My '04 Mazda3 was hard to shift when it was cold (I live in upstate NY), but it didn't clunk/grind like this, it just felt stiff. I wonder if...

    Clunks and grinding with 6 speed manual?

    2015 Mazda CX-5 Sport FWD w/ 2900 miles. Just to preface: I learned to drive on standard and have had multiple people tell me I'm the smoothest stick driver they've ever rode with. I've been driving stick for years. Not to sound like I'm bragging; I'm just concerned there may be something wrong...

    Just put a deposit on a 2015 CX-5 Sport... Nervous. Questions.

    No, don't get me wrong, I don't want to pay any more than I have to, haha. I just don't really see that I have a choice.

    Installing fog lights on base Sport?

    The file didn't work... I think it might need to be uploaded to a host site first. And that's interesting... I forgot that on my M3, my fogs would only work with the headlights on. I don't remember if they were on with the running lights or not, though. Because you make a good point, in heavy...

    Installing fog lights on base Sport?

    Thanks so much! That's a pretty decent deal. I wonder how labor intensive it is to install.

    Just put a deposit on a 2015 CX-5 Sport... Nervous. Questions.

    I wish I was in a position to pay with cash! I calculated the true loan cost and these are the numbers I came up with: Mazda financing: 22900 @ 4.99% for 72 months = 26,546.17 CU financing: 22900 @ 2.24% (at best) for 72 months = 24,494.68 The difference is 2,051.49 I mean, two grand is two...

    Just put a deposit on a 2015 CX-5 Sport... Nervous. Questions.

    Unfortunately my credit union won't refi because I'm upside down on the loan (because of the $3k I owed on my M3 was rolled onto the new loan). They said come back in 6 months when you've paid it down and we'll refi you. Wouldn't that be pointless, though? Considering the first six months or of...

    Installing fog lights on base Sport?

    I just got my 2015 CX-5 Sport last Friday. I decided on the base package because that's what I could afford and I couldn't stand the thought of driving an automatic. I'd like to customize it a little bit more in the near future... Including upgrading the stereo system to a double din with...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Are there any other Mazda dealers nearby? If so, you might be able to do what I did... Make the dealerships compete with each other. Shop around.

    That's what I was worried about... What part of the contract should I look at to find out? Any key words?

    Just put a deposit on a 2015 CX-5 Sport... Nervous. Questions.

    Just going to copy and paste from the current selling price thread... Just picked up my 2015 CX-5 Sport FWD 6 speed manual on Friday. Sticker was $22,375, but I found the exact same vehicle (down to the color) at another dealership for $20,759. Printed it out and they matched the price. Got...
