On a 2017 CX5 Touring, it requires a GROUP 35 battery, right? For some reason, Costco Interstate doesn't list 2017 CX5 as an option. I don't have any of that i-eloop or other re-gen tech that were optional. Costco has the Interstate GROUP 35 standard battery for $110 (CCA-640 CA-800)...

Went to Mazda dealer to get a Mazda oil filter. Only filter they have available for my 2017 Mazda CX-5 (non turbo) was the Made in Mexico Mazda Value oil filter # PE01-14-302a-MV I inspected the inside of the filter prior to install and found that most of the punched oil holes were closed and...

Was looking to get a small trailer to haul things like dimensional lumber and fence posts. Any recommendations that work well with the CX5 towing capacity? Also, what is a good hitch to get? OEM or aftermarket? I found this online. It's a CLASS III with a 2" ball from Curt Trailer Hitch for...

Brand new CX5 and I notice a slight burning smell around the engine compartment. Is this normal on a new engine? Smells kind of like oil. I also notice the brakes were making a noise during braking and stopping and felt a little spongy. It went away after I drove around for a while. I will test...

Looks like Mazda offers the steering wheel paddle shifters on CX5's built in Canada and Japan. If this is true, then putting an OEM paddle shifter on a US based CX5 should be easy and inexpensive since the hardware is ready to accept the OEM paddle shifter. This thread touches on it...

Got 2 quotes for the clear front end film protection on the CX5. One was SunTek at $700 and the other was 3M at $850. Is one better than the other? Has anyone used SunTek films? http://suntekfilms.com/paintprotection/suntek-window-paint-protection.aspx

Anyone install this on their CX5? It looks like it would work for a foot step to get access to the CX5's roof area. Both for loading on the roof rack or during washing the roof area. It might help to prevent bumper damage in < 5mph collision since it would take the impact and not your bumper...

Anyone have a list of what the CX5's interior dome light, hatch light, and map/visor bulb #'s are? Looking to get LED's installed but need the bulb #'s to match it correctly.

In the 2016 CX5 once the vehicle is started, if the driver walks away with the FOB, can the vehicle be driven without the FOB in the car? I did that to my 2014 Mazda3. I went back inside the home and left the key FOB on the counter after I started the car. I was able to drive away WITHOUT the...

I've seen a front tower strut brace on a CX5. What do they do ?

Has anyone installed "mirror tint" on their side windows? Typically the dark window tint is standard but I wonder how the mirror would look on a Soul Red or any color for that matter.

Does anyone know if Mazda is planning any significant changes to the 2017 CX-5?

I am having a hard time finding the right option/color CX-5 and the one I did find has a "tramp stamp" (dealer logo on tailgate) and a bunch of dealer add-ons (window tint, VIN etch, etc) that I don't want. Is it possible to just custom order by CX-5 with the options I want? If so, what is the...

C&D did an article on car colors and most cars sold come in shades of gray. I really like the Soul Red color but will it be a hard to maintain color on a CUV?

Parchment/White Leather Interior - Long Term Wear Most of the interiors are black leather. I really like the look of the white parchment interior but I am worried about its long term upkeep and wear. I assume the almond is harder to keep clean since it's off-white and will it color fade with...

I currently own a 2014 Mazda3 hatchback but will need an AWD CUV and the CX-5 is in my sights but the Ford Escape/Edge have a lot more HP. Price wise they are about the same. Appreciate any input...
