~ I agree. The Mirai is pretty darn ugly; but it still isn't as ugly and the new Prius... that poor thing should be put out of its misery! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if it's a full detail; I haven't had it done yet. When I had the oil changed and winter wheels/tires put on it was snowing like crazy, so of course I didn't have the detail. [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I couldn't agree with you more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha! Cool, then I've got them. Good to know, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, Mazda offers the map updates, cool. I couldn't remember. Thanks for clarifying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The heated seats work too well in mine, after about 10 minutes on high I have to set it back to low or my bottom is On Fire! Also, heated outside rear view mirrors? I don't know if mine has that... I had an Isuzu Rodeo with that feature and it was really nice. The rear defrost on my CX5 works...

My dealer included all kinds of stuff, first three services, free detail, free navigation map updates for like three years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You mean from all the alcohol and vinegar on their paint? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yeah, I see what you're saying about the wind sucking the snow onto the back window. I haven't experienced that yet, but assume I will at some point this winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be honest, the rear defrost in mine works brilliantly. The front though, yeah... oh well. The TCS and AWD are outstanding, so I'm still in in love. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks but I'm in Colorado. :) Also, I didn't use the washer fluid at all during this, I've done that before and it's a MESS! Interesting though about CA not allowing above a certain amount of alcohol in the fluid ... I'd say something about CA, but not on a family-friendly forum ;) Thanks...

You're probably right about different speeds vs. constant speed, but the temp was plenty hot whilst I was driving. I didn't use the washer fluid at all, I know better than that! I've made that mistake before and it was a mess! :) I am definitely going to look into winter/ice specific blades...

It's interesting about the thickness of the glass, but it totally makes sense. I'm going to try the RainX on the windshield and in the fluid (about how much?) and see how that works. I can't believe your original OEM blades are still good, that's crazy! You must live somewhere that's humid. Out...

I can't agree more! Defrost elements where the wipers sit is brilliant! When this was happening I had been driving for almost 45 minutes, and I cleared the windshield completely, the ice was just accumulating below the wipers, and in several other places on the windshield. So, everything was...

No, it was blowing very hot air, I think I said that, (if not, my typo). But, the heater and defrost always blown very hot air when I turn up the temp. I haven't checked the coolant though, that's a good idea, thanks. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info, I will check the blades today and see what kind they are. Any recommendations on better blades that won't collect ice? :) thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The setting was 85, and it was on full front defrost which automatically sets it for fresh air, and to blow only on the windshield. The air blowing out was hot. My drive is 45+ minutes so the engine was plenty warm. I think it may have just been too cold for it. It has worked fine the last...

I think the filter should be clean, it's only a 16.5, bought in August. The blades were covered in ice, so I'm not sure what's going on. Thanks for the info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

~ thanks~ :) I've lived in both Colorado and Montana my whole life and clear all the snow/ice from the windshield, including below the wipers before driving. Especially on super cold days like today I often have to keep the defrost on to both keep off moisture from the inside and keep the...

Hmm, so you're saying that in my other car, and the previous cars I've driven for the last 20+ years; when I use the front defrost to both remove moisture from the inside of the window as well as help keep ice off the outside of the window I've been doing it wrong? Sent from my iPhone using...
