    2016 CX-5: Water keeps dripping out of tailgate handle area

    Water keeps dripping out of the tailgate handle area after it rains. Could there be a clog someplace, drain plug that needs to be cleaned out? If so, where should I try to look for it? Couldn’t find anything when I was looking around. Don’t like the idea of water sitting at the bottom of the...

    Loving my Evil-M! ....but over the last few months, when I lift open the liftgate, water drains out a long the side a lot. This didn't happen before. Where should I be looking for any clogged drain holes? I looked but did'nt see anything in plain view. Hate to pull off panels but if...

    Getting even worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times and is sluggish when cold

    The issue has increasingly gotten worse for me as well during cold days now in New England, but could happen even during a fairly warm day from time to time. Sometimes it takes 10-15 for it to stop shutting down and refressing. I never use the navigation system, I am a Waze junkie. Can I just...

    Evil M horn ring on 2016 CX-5

    On my 2016 CX-5, looking to change my OEM horn ring to an Evil M. I don't want to remove and cut it up like I did to my rear badge (that came out great IMO but I'm biased). Thinking about just using a black gloss marker or a "paint" marker. Anyone else do this little mod? Any other...

    Custom Evil M rear badge

    I searched for an Evil M badge for the 2016 Mazda CX-5 but didn't find a whole lot, seemed that people weren't making much of them for the CX-5 so I decided to pull the trigger and go for it myself. I'm very pleased with the way my custom Evil M rear badge came out. Wasn't bad at all to do...

    Rattling sound coming from 2016 CX-5 dash

    There's a rattling sound coming from the top of the dash area. Seems like it's coming from near the speaker area and towards the passenger side of the dash. I remember this being an issue with the model from some of us, but didn't find any information when I did an advanced search. It's past...

    I live in New England, looking to see how the best/easiest way is to protect the stock GT rims during the winter months. I'd like to avoid buying a set rims for the winter. Is there a proven wax or sealer that one can put on in the Fall season that will hold up to the harsh road conditions...

    Winter toll on 2016 CX5 Gran Touring Rims?

    Got lazy and didn't put a coat of wax on the rims here in New England. They look good so far but how do you think they'll hold up to the road salt and snow in a few years? Do you think the coating on the rims are pretty durable or do you coat them with something before the winter? I try to...

    Very pleased with my 2016.5 Grand Touring CX-5!
