My 2010 Mazda 3 GT has a blown headlight and the assembly has condensation inside it. Obviously it's not sealed. My dealer said it will cost ~ $900 Canadian for a new assembly. It has the levelling adjustment as original equipment. I see the Canadian model (daylight running lights, with self...

Mine no longer works. Since I got an upgrade to the maps 2 years ago, ~ 90% of my voice searches respond with "Voice search is not available in this country". My display shows "AL" as my location, even though the map shows exactly where I am in Canada. I have spent literally hours emailing and...

I am posting from my iPhone because the forum will not load on my Mac running the latest operating system and the latest version of Safari. I have the coloured beach ball spinning and have had so for five minutes. This has happened each time Ive tried to read the forums recently. I cant see...

I have to buy snows for trips away from the coast this winter. My 2015 CX5 normally runs 19 wheels. I plan to get 17 wheels and higher profile snows. 225-17 Blizzaks on for a great price at Costco. Any reason I should NOT run 17 wheels /tires with the same diameter as my 19 wheels/tires?

Maybe a bit exaggerated since internet search says steepest paved street is 19 degrees. Even if that's not it, 45 degrees is eons worse. Even stairs are not as steep as 45 degrees.

Seriously, a 45 degree hill? That's nearly a 71% grade! I didn't think such a road existed anywhere. I'd be surprised if my CX-5 can even power up a 45 degree hill from a standing start.

I bought Continental True Contacts in the stock 19" size in October 2015. It didn't snow enough last winter to find out whether they're an acceptable compromise for occasional snow. But now we're getting it. With 3" of fresh snow on top of the previous night's snow/melt/refreeze I drove through...

I was waiting to see if anyone would catch the irony. Nope! Well done! ;-) The improvements that would make the most difference to me are 1) better sound system, and 2) better noise reduction. I'd opt for electronic (active noise cancellation) rather than hauling around 200 lb of high density...

I don't. Replacing the car is the "nuclear option" and should be reserved for a defect that seriously reduces the usability and value of the purchase. Your Mazda has more than 100 features. Some of critical and the car is useless without it - engine, brakes, windows, doors, etc. Virtually nobody...

Yes. I can't imagine why anyone would invite transmission trouble by doing otherwise.

I'm amazed that people think quoting MPG means something WITHOUT also quoting the average speed for the tank(s) in question. Let me reiterate: there's a relationship between speed and fuel consumption, folks. Your comments about how fast you recall driving are next to useless.

That Mazda 6 station wagon in the 3rd video is the car I'd rather have than my CX-5.

I've got used to the 2015 CX-5 auto and love it. I can shift down whenever I want by giving it a quick poke with my foot. Not flooring it, not jamming it, just depressing it an inch or so quickly. There's no need to lug the engine at 1100 rpm when you need to accelerate more briskly. Simply poke...

I can't, and I'm only 5'9" with a 30" inseam. They barely extend high enough for me. I don't recommend them for anyone who must carry anyone taller than ~ 5'7" regularly. That said, I'm delighted with the appearance and the improved rear vision.

Mine is 24.8 mph vehicle lifetime avg. and 23.76 mpg.

When anyone posts their gas mileage they should also post the average speed for that tank. There's an important relationship between the two.

Another thing people should keep in mind when comparing mileage between vehicles (and from tank to tank) is the average speed readout. I haven't changed the average speed - IOW, it's now the average for all ~30,000 kms driven on the vehicle, and it sits at 40 kph (24.8 mph). My CX-5 has a...

I'm guessing 1 mpg is within the margin of error. IOW, may be no significant difference due to variables and measurement error.

15 years, more than 100,000 miles on my 1995 Volvo turbo. 8 years, 75,000 mi on my 1988 Mazda turbo. No problems with either. I did however, consider the turbochargers to be consumable parts.

The dealer is in a large auto mall between a Honda dealer that provides first class service and an infinity dealer - don't know their record. I've taken cars to 3 dealers in that mall, and all provided very good service. I wonder whether the nearby location of competitors keeps them honest. Very...
