    19' CX5 shutting off while driving...

    Yeah something doesn't add up. So you're driving on the highway, engine shuts down and you just start coasting to a stop, and then the engine magically fires back up mid roll without doing anything, and you just keep driving?

    Anbody notice .........

    This. But just out of curiosity, why is it so important that you see the little indicator light at all times while you're driving?? Once the lights are on, they're on unless you turn them off.

    Talk me out of buying 16/17 CPO Lexus RX350 vs a new CX5 GT Reserve

    Isn't a Lexus just an overpriced Toyota anyway?

    This Review is for a future (no, past) self

    Have you unchecked the "Bose Centerpoint" feature? I wasn't impressed with the Bose system at first, but then after removing the centerpoint option it sounds great.

    Parking my CX-5 on the street and then...

    I think it's safe to say you have a lot of free time on your hands. This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George takes a day off work so he can recreate that whole workplace situation in an empty shoe box.

    Help! Damaged my bumper.

    Me too. Thanks, Seminole! It looks like that plate would perfectly cover the hole that I made. And I'm sure I could find one of those on Wish or AliBaba for a third of that price.

    Help! Damaged my bumper.

    Please tell me I'm somehow able to replace just the bottom plastic lip/trim on the bumper? Don't ask me how, but I damaged it while parking my motorcycle in front of the Mazda. I somehow managed to pierce the plastic with the foot peg on the bike. (I live in NYC and routinely have to park the...

    Black window trim?

    Plastidip is going to be the cheapest and fastest route. Just make sure you do a good job taping everything off and covering the vehicle. I usually go to the dollar store and buy a couple of decks of playing cards to stick in all the cracks. They work great when you want to "tape off" a certain...

    Any high mileage 18-up cx5s out there?

    Good point. Realistically, how often is anyone driving at a sustained speed between 25-50mph?? Hardly ever I'd imagine.

    Windshield sunshade recommendations for new CX-5?

    Why not just tint the windows? Simple, cheap, and permanent.

    Any high mileage 18-up cx5s out there?

    What's wrong with the CD? My '18 apparently has it and I can't even tell if it's beneficial or not. Hell, the car couldn't even have it and I wouldn't notice a difference.

    Pardon me, but what's a hang tag?

    Any high mileage 18-up cx5s out there?

    I have a 2018 with close to 20,000 miles that I bought last September with 2 miles on it. Absolutely no issues so far. I guess my only b**** would be that the oem wiper blades suck in the snow; and the "heated" area on the windshield doesn't do anything if you're driving in a snowstorm. Other...

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    I did all the badges on the back. I plan on doing the chrome hockey stick on the side sometime soon. I'll share a pic when it's finished. What parts were you thinking of blacking out?

    Dash Cam Adhesive Pads Continually Failing--What's Worked for Yours?

    Nothing has worked for me and I've tried about 5 or 6 different types of tape. I recently tried this Gorilla tape that is supposed to be heavy duty, for indoor/outdoor use, and able to hold 30 pounds. It lasted all of one week before I came out to find my camera hanging by the cable. And yes, I...

    Mazda Roadside Assistance vs. AAA

    For anyone who has ever used this service, how was your experience? I'd like to know because I am contemplating cancelling my AAA account since I now have Mazda's Roadside service for the next 3 years. More specifically, how is their response time? Whenever I've had to use AAA, it typically...

    Considering buying 2014/5/6 CX-5 <65K miles: Any major repairs coming up?

    When I traded in my 2016 with 58,000 miles last September it needed new brakes and the rear passenger side wheel bearing needed replaced. I knew it was shot around 50,000 because it started rubbing and vibrating. Cost to get that replaced was around $600. I was faced with $600 for the bearing...

    How fast does your CX5 go and how does it handle?

    I test drove a Crosstrek before getting the Mazda. It felt like a cheap, plastic toy car and it smelled like my '98 VW Passat (burnt oil all the time). But to answer your question, I drive the 95 corridor from NY to Philly once a week and typically keep it around 90mph and occasionally hit...
