Were you looking at the Classic Soft Trim web site? I don't think there's any pricing info on there. I called their local installer office, which for me was in Hayward CA. They quoted me $1299 + 9% sales tax. I later negotiated it down to $1299 total by paying cash. In retrospect I maybe could...

It feels good - pretty much like the Mazda factory leather in the Grand Touring that I test drove. I had a chance to see my actual leather before they installed it, and it seemed like a reasonable thickness - maybe like 1 or 2 mm I would guess. It smells like upholstery glue though - hopefully...

I didn't do it myself - the door panel inserts were included with the CX-5 leather kit from Classic Soft Trim: http://www.classicsofttrim.com I dropped the car off at their local installation center, and 24 hours later it was done.

Replaced the black cloth in my 2016 Touring with aftermarket two-tone leather. Before: After:

I got my car back from CST today, and it came out great! The "fog" leather color is a good match for the existing ceiling and pillars in the 2016, and CST matched Mazda's two-tone tan/black "parchment" style perfectly. The "dark cardinal" contrast stitching that I chose is pretty subtle, and...

Looks very nice! $1000 is a great price too. I've heard of Katzkin, but I went with CST on the dealer's recommendation as they said they do lots of business with them and are always pleased with the results. Hopefully that won't prove to be a mistake - we'll find out soon enough! Personally I...

OK, I placed an order with CST, and I'll post before and after photos when it's done. I think their "Ash" color recommendation might have been correct for the 2015, but for my 2016 "Fog" 086 seemed like the best match overall, so that's what I chose. This will be a two-tone leather design...

Thanks! Is that a Mazda standard hitch, or a 3rd-party one? Is hidden hitch a brand name maybe?

Is it possible to integrate Google Now somehow with the CX-5's voice command system? On my phone, I can press a button to activate Google Now (which is like Siri on the iPhone), then dictate commands like "send text to Fred Smith: I like pineapples". It would be awesome if I could press the...

Nice, I was thinking about doing this myself, so I can get a bike rack. I hate the way some hitches look though, when the bike rack isn't installed: like the car has dingleberries hanging where it forgot to wipe its butt. (boom06) When you have time, could you post another photo of your finished...

I need some advice on colors, styles, and stitching for aftermarket leather for a CX-5. I just bought a 2016 CX-5 with the Touring trim, and I'd like to replace the cloth with leather in the same style as Mazda's "parchment" leather on the Grand Touring. It's a two-color design, with light...

Dumb question - I thought the USB ports remain powered even when the car is off. So do you have to manually switch off your LED light strip?

I suspect there actually is no 3 month requirement for you, the buyer. But if you keep the loan for 3 months, Chase pays the dealer some kind of commission for bringing them the loan, and this commission is what allows the dealer to offer you a discount on the purchase price. So if you pay off...

For the "you must hold the loan for 3 months" business, does anybody know how that's calculated? Can you pay off the entire loan along with your 3rd loan payment, or your 4th? Or something else? I can't find anything in the paperwork I received that even mentions a 3 month minimum.

I just bought a CX-5 front wheel drive Touring with the soul red metallic paint, but no other options, for $24,498 + TTL. MSRP on that configuration is $26,395. This is a few hundred dollars cheaper than I'd expected to pay, based on Edmunds and Truecar price estimates. To get this price, we had...

What is this $1500 (or $2495) discount you're referring to? The only current financing promotion I see on the Mazda USA web site is 0.9% financing. I'm looking to buy a CX-5 soon, and if there's a promotion I've overlooked, I'd love to know about it. Thanks!
