    Can you remove LED DRL fuse on 2016 CX5 GT - Very disappointed in Mazda

    How would you even know that you're DRLs are out or flickering? Since they're only on while driving, I only rarely see them when they're reflected in a window or something.

    Current CX-5 Owner Looking for a Mazda 3

    Deep Crystal Blue w/black leather Wife would have preferred red or the lighter blue, but they were out of both. This blue almost looks black, but when the light hits it just right it looks awesome. Very classy looking - the car punches way above its class/cost. Drove it this morning for the...

    Post what you paid for your Mazda6

    Went looking for a Mazda 3, but a Presidents Day Sale offered 25% off a Mazda 6. So we got a 2017 Mazda 6 GT for less than $27k out the door. Saved $8000 off of list. Very pleased!

    Current CX-5 Owner Looking for a Mazda 3

    Update: THIRD ACT PLOT TWIST! So, days before we were all set to buy a Mazda 3, I get an email from another dealer about a Presidents Day Sale on 2017 Mazda 6's. Long story short, we just got a Mazda 6 GT for 25% off of list (plus another $500 loyalty discount). Bottom line: $23,300 and less...

    Current CX-5 Owner Looking for a Mazda 3

    Thanks for the assurances! Wife drove the M3 yesterday and is pretty much sold on it. Would love to wait for a possible refresh, but she needs something asap. Some debate now between getting a "basic" Touring (listing for about $22K) or an everything GT (about $4k more). She's already...

    2017~2024 Will I regret not getting the Bose stereo?

    I think the Bose in my 2016 sounds terrific, but I do agree that if you intend on upgrading to a custom stereo system you might want to go with the stock. Will be easier to fit amps and speakers to the non-Bose system.

    Current CX-5 Owner Looking for a Mazda 3

    Hey Guys - I haven't been around here for a few months now - been happily enjoying my 2016.5 CX-5 that I've had for just over a year now (with about 12K on it). My Mazda flag-waving has paid off, though, as my wife is looking for a new car and I've successfully steered her toward a Mazda 3...

    Bose Centerpoint and Bose Audio Pilot

    Have to take back what I said here. I mostly keep CP on now; honestly, I've mostly forgotten about it but when I do A/B the sound I usually prefer it. Audio Pilot is on as well, but for the life of me I can't tell or hear what it does.

    2017 CX-5 Bose Centerpoint Poll

    I've got a 2016 so it may sound a bit different, but I've taken to leaving it on. It does work better with certain types of music, so I do turn it off occasionally, but for me the default is ON. It gives a more expansive soundstage, making the speakers "disappear" a bit. Others (I'm sure!)...

    Sirius Question

    Bringing up this old thread 'cause this is probably just a silly question but... I have a 2016.5 Touring w/Bose and from looking at Mazda's specs the Sirius XM should only be standard on the GT, right? But when I bought the car the salesman gave me a brochure for Sirius and explained that it...

    Easily dented rear cladding

    Yeah, I found this out when I put my foot on the plastic bumper to tie my shoe. Left a nice little dent in it that I can still just barely see.

    Test of MPG at various speeds: results

    I've consistently gotten 33-35 mpg on stretches going eastbound from L.A. to Palm Springs (mostly light traffic, from 70-80 mph); going westbound from PS to L.A., I get about 3-4 mpg less.

    CX-5 16 vs. 17 Side Profile Black

    '16 looks better by far; that swoop/dent makes it look much sportier.

    Repair Wheel and Dash Scuffs

    Dash is a problem, but for the steering wheel I'd just buy a cover for it.

    2016 CX-5 Audio upgrade thread

    How easy was it to fit the 3022s in the L/R dash locations? I've read a lot about the Polk installation, but not so much the Infinitys.
