I 100% agree on the color choice, I have always been a believer that the wheels should contrast the color of the vehicle, if you had a white or silver CX-5 maybe the gunmetal would have been better. But the silver looks great on your black one! Another few things to consider might be cleaning...

M011 wheels look better in my opinion. The harsher ride has always been a trade off with sharper steering, when going with a wider tire in my expierence with previous vehicles. I'd be curious if you notice a gas mileage difference with the heavier wheels, 5lbs. sound like a lot when talking...

Being an older fella, I didnt realize how much I would like the higher step in height. Not having to squat down to get in my vehicle has been very nice.

I know I told a friend of mine I was getting a CX-5 and his response was I dont think you want a Ford so that negative stigma is still out there with a some people Im sure.

I'm curious how are peoples experience with Mazda North American Operations, seems like a bit that is left out of most individuals experience with this common problem. I'm assuming the car is taken to the dealer and getting basically a repair quote for the full price to replace the headlight...

I'll be going on vacation for a week, is there anything I should do to my 2016 CX-5 to prep for the week that the car will be parked? The longest any of my vehicles have been parked has been over a weekend. This is my first actual vacation in my 20 year working career, and I'm just trying to...

So I guess it would be safe to assume that if I had the dot-matrix style of DRL that they have been replaced? The first thing I looked at when I picked up my 2016 CX-5 about a month ago was the tag on the back of the headlight, and saw that they ended in 040D, and 030D. So I assumed that I was...

I took my "new to me" CX-5 to the dealer to get an update on my firmware to hopefully fix some random Bluetooth issues, and saw they updated me to 70.00.335 NA N, so does this mean if I wanted to get Apple Carplay in my CX-5, all I would have to do is install the Retrofit Kit 00008FZ34? Thanks

Ahh, that makes sense. I was excited for a minute there because my acura I traded in wanted $150 for a new nav disk for updated maps. Then I read about Mazda just needing to download the update through toolbox, and was assuming the update was free:(

I just recently bought a 2016 CX-5 GT with the tech package and was looking to update the maps. Read that I had to download Mazda toolbox and register, that went all fine. Booted up toolbox, plugged in my card, clicked on available updates and it says "there are no available updates for your...

Wow! Hold on to that dealer. Most of what I've read on here is people take it in to the dealer and get the full quote to get it fixed at around $600 per side, then call Mazda north american operations and get around a 50-75% discount. Getting it fixed for free seems like a rarity. Although it...

Been lurking here for a while now. I'm looking to buy a compact SUV and had my heart set on the CX-5. But the Direct injection carbon build up in the long term has me concerned, and also the few reported problems with the rear calipers dragging because of the electronic parking brake also is in...

Is there a preferred online OEM parts store ?

Any details on the job, did you have to remove the bumper?

I plan on buying a 2016 cx-5 in the summer and I am planning on using the stock wheels for winter tires and getting a different set of tires and wheels for the summer months. I see people getting 20" wheels with 255 wide tires. What are the downsides other than the obvious harsher ride, and more...

So it sounds like the consensus is that the LED are drastically better than the halogen version. Is there any chance anyone has some output pics, I'm curious how sharp the cutoff is. Also isn't there a way to tell if it is the updated version by looking at the outside of the headlight, as in...

By any chance does anyone have experience with both, I'll be on the market for a 2016 cx-5 in the summer and was wondering if the tech package is worth it. I know the LED daytime running lights are problematic. But how about the headlight performance, I do a fair amount of night time driving...

Cool! Thanks for the intel. Looks like i'll be looking for a 2016.5.

Next summer I plan on buying a 2016 CX-5 Touring. According to the brochure there is only a Bose/moon roof package, and a technology package, but shopping around now I see some of them with heated seats. Were heated seats an unlisted option? If so were there other options someone could add...

I love the quote on the door! Wheels and tires look great as well A.L.F.
