    PDR or Collision Shop?

    Little league baseball is an expensive endeavor. I was watching my son play last night when on the adjacent field (where a high school game was simultaneously underway) a batter smacked a foul ball into the parking lot.

    Corrosion Question

    Anyone notice any corrosion of the metal floor plates that secure the rear seats (where they pivot when folding)? I have a 2016 GT - noticed when grabbing my laptop and giving the interior a quick clean. Note that I live in the Northeast where there is liberal salt use in the winter. Circles...

    GT Leather Seats

    Hi...I have reviewed lots of posts re: the GT leather seats (how to clean, how they wear, etc.). I didn't see much of anything about if whether or not they soften a bit over time. I am really liking my 2016 - any advice / input is appreciated...thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!

    First-Time Mazda Owner...

    Hi everyone...I joined Mazdas247 a few weeks ago as a means of educating myself while shopping for a CX-5. After much research and test-driving, I pulled the trigger and picked up a 2016 base GT (Silver) Monday evening! The buying experience was easy and I'm looking forward to many happy miles...
