    Do you use/like Auto mode for the AC(and heat?)

    So I have always just used manual mode and I can't quite figure out auto mode. Maybe I am missing the idea behind it but then again I have never really given it a solid chance. So right now given that we're in mid summer, I pretty much always have my temp set to 60 and I adjust the fan speed...

    16 CX5 bluetooth phone calls very crackly sounding

    So I've had this issue for awhile and I thought it was fixed with the last infotainment update, but I was wrong. Anytime I make or receive voice calls over Bluetooth, the sound is very crackly and breaks up. Even the ringtone that comes through the car when they're calling is crackly...

    Steering wheel peeling in 2016

    This peeling is very small and most wouldn't notice it, but I do. Easily. It's in a three different spots, one being the size of a piece of rice and the other two spots about half the size of a piece of rice. It seems like its the outer "glossy" layer and underneath the peal its dull. This...

    What's the furthest trip your CX5 has been on?

    Tomorrow I have to make a trip to Florida(from Maryland) due to the passing of my grandfather. This will certainly be the longest trip that my CX5 has been on. I have taken several 2.5 hour trips here and there throughout the couple years of ownership but no where near the length of this...

    Standard Oil vs Full synthetic? Mazda offers both?

    Okay, so far I have had free oil changes for my 16 cx5 so I haven't given this much thought. It's time for my next oil change and I am curious as to why in MyMazda coupons, I have two options for oil change, standard oil or full synthetic. The owners manual states the car takes 0W-20. Which...

    Dashboard brake lights all lit up and flashing red/orange

    So I get in my car today, go to release the parking brake and it's blinking orange. The actual electronic parking brake. Then I look up and on the dashboard, the red parking light is flashing red and then there was the orange one lit up. Tried turning the car on and off, nothing. Anyway...

    2016 CX5 better "driving machine" over 2017

    Was reading the MT first test of the new 17 CX5, and I was surprised to see some of the results of the actual driving numbers we tend to look at. The 16 CX5 appears to pull a faster 0-60 at 7.8sec compared to the 17s 8.4. Quarter mile the 16 runs it at 16.0 compared to the 17s 16.4 seconds...

    Dealer begging for sales

    So I was in my dealer today and ran into the sales manager and talked to him a little, nothing special. Anyway, tonight I receive an email from the sales manager stating Mazda has a $1250 owner loyalty this month and that they could get me into a brand new cx5 with 0 miles while keeping my...

    Body shop installed the wrong tailight on my cx5

    So a month ago my cx5 was hit in the driver side rear quarter panel on the highway. Been without my cx5 for a couple weeks now and went to pick it up yesterday. Did my quick walk around( was pouring outside) and drove away. Before I left the parking lot, I stopped and figured it'd be a good...

    Love this vehicle..but the paint is cheap!

    This is really my main complaint exterior wise for this suv. I swear every week I notice a new little nick on the paint. I always park away from cars as well. The marks are just little chips in the paint with no dent or anything so I know it can't be from something like a door ding. Guessing...

    CX-5 takes the gold in Motortrends CUV test

    http://www.motortrend.com/cars/mazda/cx-5/2016/small-crossover-comparison-big-test/ Good read here. I think the finishing paragraph sums up well why I chose the cx5 over all other cuvs, and I would imagine the reasons we all did. The cx5 just does everything well and is the one to beat imo...

    Remote start users...how's it working for you?

    So with this continued heat here in Maryland, and I think pretty much everywhere, I've been very interested in a remote start system. I would love a way to get the car going and to cool it down. Of course this will be even more beneficial here come winter with all the ice we get. I know there...

    Mazda6 rumored to get turbo from cx9...cx5 next?

    http://www.motortrend.com/news/report-mazda6-get-cx-9s-2-5-liter-turbo-four/ As much as I like the fact that the cx5 doesn't need a turbo to get the same power and efficency as all the other cuvs, I would definitely be interested in trading up to it if it did. Give me more power and it'd be...

    Will Mazda ever include panorama sunroof?

    What do you guys think? You think it has something to do with the performance and handling aspect of the vehicles? I would image having a huge piece of glass on top of the car would effect the performance. I actually have heard people say they can tell a difference with just a regular sized...

    MyMazda app finally updated for Android

    Just downloaded this app. For the longest time it was incompatible with the latest versions of Android including lollipop and marshmallow. I kept emailing them about it and it's finally compatible. Seems like a decent app. Just started playing with it. Just wanted to let everyone know...

    Does your trunk light turn on when you open trunk?

    Just realized my trunk light goes on when I open my trunk, and than goes off when I close it. Thing is, I never noticed this before. It was like an all or nothing thing before. Unless I was completely missing something but I played with it a lot cause it was annoying. How does everyone...

    Just got the Zoom-Zoom magazine in the mail

    No idea this even existed. Pretty cool though. Had a bunch stories on the cx3, the predictive iactive awd found in the cx5, upcoming cx9, and the concept Rx and the rotary. Nice that Mazda sends this out though. Love reading about innovations Mazda is leading with. Anyone else receive this?

    Infotainment system completely rebooted while driving

    Anyone have this happen to them? System just shut off as if I turned off the car, then it restarted. I believe I saw somewhere online about reporting bugs and issues with the system. But was just curious if anyone has experienced this odd bug.
