Not exactly high milage by today's standard, but just rolled past 90K, and I've only tossed oil, filters, tires and a set of brakes (with flush) at it. In fact, I've never once returned to the dealer I purchaced from. Most reliable car I've ever owned. I'll probably use it as a DD for a few...

All of my Mazdas have periodically exhibited this, including my 13 CX-5, since new. Never any issues locking and unlocking, though.

@stussy2870 - I remember you from 6club. I have a 13 Touring I inherited from my wife earlier this year. It's exhibited this anomaly since new. 90K miles on it now. I believe it's related to the adaptive logic in the TCM. I don't mash it at freeway speeds very often, so when I do, it's...

Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't stretch my maintenance intervals. I went over 6 years and 85K on my CX-5 without a flush. Judging only by appearance, the fluid still looked new. But I think it's cheap insurance. If you have the time and tools you can flush your system using vac or pressure...

I think we're looking at this the wrong way... Without diving too deeply into social politics, everything now is either "feminine", or strives to be. Males who are concerned about masculinity (the image anyway) have nowhere to turn, save for tactless visual cues, like nutsacks for trucks. Hell...

Probably about right for the Geolandars. Biggest, noisiest hunks of crap rolling down the road. That's expensive for a piece of maintenance that is easy to take care of yourself. Both oil, and rotation. I've had Discount Tire rotate my tires for free (an incentive to purchase from them -...

You can roll your fenders pretty easily yourself, honestly... I rolled AND pulled mine quite successfully with a heat gun, baseball bat and a few telephone books. Sounds ghetto, I know...lol This was on my Speed6... The problem then became my tires rubbing through the fender liners. The...

No kidding...on a gasser anyway. I'd be interested to hear some additional details on any CX-5 which has exceeded 200K - don't skimp out on maintenance and repair details. I'd be nice to get 250K out of my CX-5, but it'll take me 20 years to get there. Lol

I wouldn't fret, as potential buyers. These types of horror stories can be found for just about every single new model out right now, yes the Hondas and Toyotas included. Check out their forums. I just ended my months-long research/car shopping by purchasing a 2018 Traverse. I can assure you...

I think you'd find, more often than not, women behind the wheel of a CX-5. But, I think there are a lot of women in the Miata/MX-5 too. And I briefly owned a 2013 Ford SHO, Livernois tuned and that car absolutely ripped, but I swear I never saw another man behind the wheel of one. Always women...

Torqued calipers and pins to spec, completed flush with a dot 4 fluid this morning, and followed through with a proper bed in procedure (which made me nauseous). Off to the races. Next, a new set of tires. Now, attention turned to one of my other autos in dire need of maintence. XD Happy motoring.

Not today specifically, but more like drawn out over a few days... But, new pads and rotors and a fluid flush. Got all the pads and rotors in, just need to finish with the flush tomorrow by use of a Motive Power Bleeder. A few interesting observations, with 85K miles on the odo... Rear...

I intend to replace the brake rotors, pads, lubricate the guide pins and do a full fluid flush. I've sold my 2015 3s GT and inherited the CX-5. Couldn't believe how disgusting it was. Smelled horrible. My wife is truly a slob. I've spent alot of time this week (virtually all of what little spare...

Purchased my wife's 2013 Touring on March 10, 2012. So, about to hit 6 years ownership. It's not exactly high mileage, but as I recall, sitting right around 82K miles. Never been back to the dealership after I purchased it and the only maintenance it has seen is tires and LOF. Best car I've ever...

I've had a couple of quick cars over the yesrs, so I think either choice is painful. I have a CX-5 with the 2.0l - a '13 with an ATX. That sucker is anemic. I have a 3GT MTX with the 2.5l - certainly better than the 2.0l in my wife's heavier CX-5, but still mind numbing. If you want to have...

Those of you with issues, are you predisposed? I mean, I don't have any back issues, therefore I don't really "shop" car seats. If anything, I prefer a little side bolstering as my one criteria. Never had issues with seats in my Mazdas, though. I feel for those of you with issues - that's a big...

Wait a minute... OVT has claimed to offer custom tunes for these engines and there exists essentially no data or results? Somebody has got to pony up and let them take a stab on their CX-9. I was convinved a few years ago that they were a fly by night outfit but they've stuck around and seems...

It's doubtful these options exists yet. Orange Virus seems to have found a niche in the Skyactiv market but their experience, AFAIK, is predominantly on NA applications, namely the 3 and 6. If somebody offers up their engine for some beta tuning/logging, maybe they'll work up a discount for...

Oh yeah, I remember your Impala. Love that body style. I've still got a couple of classics but have no time or superfluous income to toy with them. Thinking about getting rid of a couple of my spare autos and getting into something mildly entertaining. Thinking about buying a toy Speed3 or...

No SHO. I replaced it with a 2015 Mazda 3 to simply my life. Now, looking like I'm going to inherit my wife's CX-5 and upgrade her to a CX-9. Later, my balls will be on the chopping block. Lmao! The costs of supporting a family.
