    Buying our leased CX-30

    We leased our 2020 CX-30 in March 2020. It is a fully loaded Soul Red model with just over 30k miles on it. It has been a great vehicle. The negotiated residual was a little over $18k, which is much cheaper than we could buy one the open market now due to reduced inventory and inflated used...

    Wonky Infotainment system when it comes to music sources

    So, I use several ways of playing music in the CX-30. 1) iPod (very old school) 2) USB stick 3) Apple CarPlay Several days ago, I removed the USB stick and plugged in Apple CarPlay. The system would play the music for a minute and then shut down. This must have happened 10 times before it...

    Interior Plastic Scratches

    I've noticed over time that the plastic cover over the gauges is badly scratched. Same with the plastic around the shifter. Just wiping the dust off these areas with a microfiber cloth leaves scratches. Is anyone seeing the same thing and, if so, have you found a way to remove them?

    CX-30 Slow Infotainment System

    Yes, we still use our iPods in our cars. Eventually we will just switch to our iPhones. In the interim, when we have them plugged in and try to scroll through the songs it just sits there and won't advance. It also takes forever to pull up playlists/tracks. My '17 Audi A4 does this really...

    Displaying next songs

    My Audi A4 gives me the ability to display future songs on itunes and skip to them in the infotainment display. I never found this in our CX-5 or our current CX-30. Am I missing something?

    2017 CX-5 - Headlight warning light going on and off…

    So, just like the title says, my headlight warning light (amber) started blinking last week. I cleaned the windshield around the sensor area thinking it was blocked but it stayed on. Then a couple of days later it went off. Then it came back on again. Now it is off. The only thing I can...

    Driving my '17 CX-5 around today

    Combo of city/highway miles. 22.5mpg. So quiet unless you floor it, then you hear the 2.5 roar. Plenty of pick-up in almost every range. Great city car, but will still quickly get up to speed on a freeway onramp. Just gorgeous inside with the stitching and aluminum. Great steering with...

    My new Sonic Silver CX-5

    Thought I'd post since there are so few pics of Sonic Silver GT's. It is a great color that changes from a dark to light silver in different conditions. Looks great with the wheels. Not a neck-snapper like SRC, but easy to keep clean and helps me fly under the radar. Love this car!

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    So, we know we are going for the '17 CX-5. We are down to Machine Grey, Sonic Silver and Soul Red, in that order. Definitely black interior. My biggest concern with Machine Grey is that we are in TX and it gets very hot during the summer. I know color depends on individual preferences, but I...
