    Anyone use seat covers?

    Hi all, The CX-5 sits out in my driveway getting bake by the sun everyday. The rear is tinted so that's good. I do apply paint sealant and try to put on leather protection but just wondering if anyone uses seat covers or knows any decent (not too pricey) covers? Thought about putting t-shirts...

    Underbody cover......good place to get a replacement?

    Hi all, While driving today, a van in front of me kicked up a CAT heatshield from the road. Saw it running over to me so I try avoiding it and it somersaulted underneath my car. Went home, jacked it up and saw a cracked on the front underbody cover. For now, I have it duct tape. The...

    Noticed the gear doesn't up shift immediately when I take my foot of the gas pedal...

    Hello all, So I've had the cx-5 for a 1.5 months now. The mpg hasn't gotten any better. The last time I filled up it was 19.9 mpg. Believe me, I've been taking easy on it and my wife also drives very slow. Yes, it does drive in local traffic half of the time but I've seen people posting...

Now that there are light out till past 7pm, I noticed it doesn't turn on till it gets "kinda" dark. I noticed cars around me has their headlights on but my car still doesn't...

    Is the instant email / daily email working for anyone for subscribed threads?

    Sorry, I know it's not related to cars but not sure where else to post it. It used to work but I don't get emails when people respond to threads so now I have to dig through threads that I commented. Is this a forum wide issue? Thanks

    MP3 Shuffling......weird

    Hi all, I bought a 32 gig usb and loaded it with music (albums in folder, etc). So I have it in car and pressed the "songs" button and then pressed the "shuffle" button. It would then shuffle all songs regardless of what folder or album it's in. I think that's working fine. However, when I...

    Interior accessories auto time-out?

    Hi all, The cx-5 is new to me so I've been playing with all the features. I noticed twice when I was in the car (in ON or ACC mode) and the car just SHUT OFF after about 30 minutes. I checked and didn't see that as an option on the menu. Did you guys notice that? Seems like a setting that...

    How's the CX-5 bumper absorbing bumps and scratches?

    Hi all, I am in the midst of waiting for the 2014 cx-5 with the 2.5 engine. Unfortunately, it will not come with the m/t along with the 2.5 engine so looks like I will be getting the slushbox and this should turn into my wife's commuter car/weekend car. Don't get me wrong, it's still an...

    Anyone done basic maintenance like oil changes, etc so far?

    Just wondering if it's an easy car to maintain. Example: can you change oil without jacking up, is it easy to get to (I've seen pictures of the under body and I think it's all covered up?). What about things like differential fluids, transmission fluids, cabin filters or anything like that. I...

    Test drove an awd touring and a fwd manual sport today. My opinion.......

    Went to the dealer to test drive the cx-5 today. I am mostly interested in the m/t. When I went there the sales guy said the m/t is sold so I can only test the grey awd touring model. So it was sales guy, me, wife and my 5 yr old daughter in the cx-5. I wasn't expecting the cx-5 to have any...
