    I'm talking about it being parked in your average grocery store parking lot among a sea of vehicles that mostly do nothing to stir the soul. For me it's about the stance, just looks aggressive, and the lines are appealing, the color gorgeous, wheels even look better than most. I'm in south...

    How is your paint holding up?

    I don't know what kind of paint I have but after a year it still looks showroom quality. I did apply Optimum Gloss Coat shortly after buying it and hand wash it regularly. It looks dazzling under lights.

    Chris I'm looking forward to catching up on some of your posts as I'm sure you've pushed the envelope in making this car not just look badass but perform badass. To answer your question though, yes it's still stock.

    I bought a California Car Cover, Superweave model. If you scroll down a bit this link will tell you about it. http://www.calcarcover.com/howtoselect In short, I love it. The parking lot where I work there is literally only a chain link fence separating it from a major freeway, I-5. I...

    Thought I'd check back in after a year of ownership. I bought the car in early February, 2015 fresh off the boat and still parked in the back lot. I must say I'm still in love with this car. Every time I see it in a parking lot as I'm walking up to it I think to myself, "that car is bad ass"...

    1st Oil Change

    I called 2 dealerships today and both said they didn't carry the Mazda Moly oil and sounded like they had never heard of it. They said they only carry what Mazda recommends, Castrol. I'm in a warm climate (so cal) so I'm wondering if it's a big deal. I've read the Moly oil is better for cold...

    1st Oil Change

    Ok will do. I think the moly oil is extra iirc, any idea how much more expensive it should be? And I will definitely make sure they DO NOT wash the car!

    1st Oil Change

    Ok I'm sitting at 4,800 miles and getting ready to take the car in before embarking on vacation. I've been off the grid for a while so I'm hoping someone can tell me the latest updates to ask the dealer to perform. I read a bit about how to manually install a firmware update but I figured I'd...

    1st Oil Change

    So I bought my car on Feb. 12th and it's only got 3,643 miles on it but today the Wrench light came on indicating Scheduled Maintenance Due. When I go in to the Maintenance App it says it's due in 15 days or 2,900 miles???? The oil life indicator shows 70%. The setting is Flexible. I called...

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    If I don't see it unless I'm trying to see it, how is it distracting? Trust me, it's nothing.

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    I never noticed it until people on here mentioned it. I see what they mean now but doesn't bother me in the least.

    Very nice!

    1st Oil Change

    U Thanks for the heads up! Doing the math, using the flexible schedule, it says my oil change will be due at 6,500 miles or 2 months from now which would be 4 1/2 months. I'll take it in at the end of the month I guess. I also want to find out about that fix that is supposed to fix the...

    1st Oil Change

    Ha ha, fair enough. I was just wondering if people were doing the first one extra early for any particular reason or if I should just wait for the wrench to light up.

    1st Oil Change

    So I'm sitting at 3,100 miles now and beginning to contemplate my 1st oil change. I understand there are break in fluids and what not in the vehicle and I believe some people like to get the 1st oil change done early. I fall in to the Schedule 1 category and have the Oil Monitor set to...

    '16 Sport Mode

    If you're sitting at a red light with one of those hills ahead of you and want to attack it, I'll take sport mode all day. It allows the engine to achieve higher rpm before shifting thus propelling the vehicle up the vertical incline.
