    brakes squeak loud in cold weater cold start up

    Hi. my 2016 cx-5 in the summer and fall, the brakes had never squeaked. Also during the winter on warm days they doesn't squeak. Although it seems once it gets cold out, my brakes squeak pretty loud after starting up my car in the cold weather when applying the brakes for the first 5 minutes or...

    should I get the Bose Moonroof pkg on the touring?

    The Sunroof is nice. It makes the car feel classier and premium. Makes you feel more content with your car. A lot of people knock the Bose System.. BUT... This is what I have analyzed That different radio stations sound better than others in my car. For instance in my area, station 103.5...

    2016 CX-5 NHTSA Crash-Test Safety Rating: 3 (out of 5) for Frontal Crash - Passenger

    Im also disappointed to be reading this. After someone slid and tboned me this past winter and caused heavy damage to me, I looked to buy a safe 5 star safety rating vehicle. Not only did cx-5 have a 5 star rating when I was researching for months while I was out at home, but it had the best...

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

    Exactly. I hear ya. I dont even notice that its on. Whether the seat warmers on or off I cant tell. That is my biggest complaint. My other is I wish the the front two bucket seats had proper inside arm rests. Other comparable suv's in the same price range lacks this as well. Its something I can...

    black cloth interior too hot?

    The leather steering wheel is way more luxurious than the vinyl upholstry. The vinyl feels like a dog chew toy. This was a big factor for me. The way the leather steering wheel feels in your hands gives a Yes factor. The vinyl felt like I was driving a cheap car and will give that impression to...

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

    Its NOT a distraction if it doesn't distract you. Even though the reflection is there, I dont see it anymore. Therefore I dont need to go to the dealership to correct it since it doesnt distract me at all.

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

    Ive had my 2016 cx5 for a month now. The first time I drove it off the lot the chrome vent ring distracted me. The next time and every other time it hasn't. Its like when I lie in my bed watching tv, a small piece of my bed frame blocks a bit of the tv, very distracting at first, now I dont...

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

    Well my seat gets 'warm enough' as well. It just seems for a seat warmer at 3/3 bars lit, its relatively weak. But there are much colder days to worry about in the winter, I hope I feel it then too when the inside of my car is as cold as outside the car. Put your passenger seat warmer on all...

    Yea I had my seat warmers on again.. It did feel warmer than when I first had used heated seats (and then posted asking why). But yea.. the seats dont get hot.. they get... really warm. I wouldnt classify it as hot but just really warm. Which is ok .. for now. Will it get really warm in the...

    Consumer Reports Talking Cars about Mazda (incl. CX-5)

    they seem to really like Mazda minus the wind noise. I listen to the radio or bluetooth the songs from my iphone so I never hear this wind noise they speak of. I am really really happy about my 16'.

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

    -When I went in the Nissan Rogue before I bought my cx-5 GT, I said the same thing, hmm small moonroof in comparison. I found this doesn't bother me at all. I actually think the size of the cx-5 is nice, it gives adequate natural light in the front of the car, it doesn't get too cold when I only...

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

    Not sure. If a fuse was blown then other components wouldnt function as well I'd assume but everything else is fine and dandy. Can it be maybe that it's warm outside so it won't heat up as much in the seats as a safety precaution. If you put your hand on your passenger seat with noone sitting...

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

    So I got my new 2016 Mazda cx-5 gt and I really really love the car. But I do have one concern right now. I put the heated seats on both front seats on 3 bars out of 3 and it barely heated the seats up. I think it may have been my body heat that heated up my driver seat. The leather on my...

    Installing A Dash Cam

    I got a question about the Parking Protection on the dashcam features. I understand that it can also record when your car is parked. The one thing I dread is someone hitting my new cx-5 while parked and taking off. Does the dashcam parking protection feature actually work? If it records any...

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

    I have yet to purchase my cx-5 but a few things ive noticed 1) armrests attached to the side of the seats that fold up out of the way or back down for a comfortable rest are not there. Instead is a oddly shaped middle box department to accomedate that. 2) the dealer told me blind spot warning...

    Winter Tires Needed for 2016 AWD?

    Ok, so I take it snow tires are still a must have even with an SUV AWD regardless of tire size. Who knows maybe Ontario will copy Quebec and make them mandatory one day. The salesman didn't imply to upgrade to buy the GT because of that reason. He implied the SUV with AWD was adequate enough...

    Winter Tires Needed for 2016 AWD?

    Hi. I am soon to buy 2016 cx-5 (iihs safety ratings, superior fuel economy, and style in class chose this for me actually) and was wondering if anyone in Canada or close to the boarder has experience with their cx-5 AWD through a winter with and without winter tires. The trim GT has 19" wheels...
