2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 78,000 miles. Looking at a smaller-diameter winter setup for more sidewall. Main concern is brake clearance and keeping total tire diameter close. What measurements do yo…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 87,000 miles. There is a short metallic rattle after the first cold start of the day, then it disappears once the engine settles. Warm restarts are quiet. Where would you…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 54,000 miles. A new windshield is installed and there is no dash warning, but the shop recommends camera calibration. If the manufacturer procedure calls for it, would yo…
I'm seeing the oil level fall enough between services that I now check it regularly. No obvious leak. For other turbo owners, what documentation/tests did you collect before bringing an oil-consumpti…
Paint looked perfect after correction, but after a few outdoor washes I can see water spotting again under certain light. I'm trying to improve the process rather than keep polishing clear coat away.…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 97,000 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 92,000 miles. Long-term fuel trims are much more positive at idle than at 2,500 RPM. No obvious misfire. Does that pattern still make an intake/vacuum leak the first plac…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 74,000 miles. The light was on for two days and then disappeared before I could schedule service. Car feels normal. Is there still likely to be useful stored or pending d…
Budget allows one meaningful upgrade. Current street tires are decent and brakes are standard replacements. Which upgrade helps a new driver learn more before adding other parts?
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 57,500 miles. The A/C works well with road speed but gets noticeably warmer at long lights, then cools again almost immediately once moving. Does that point more toward a…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 88,500 miles. There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without c…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 55,000 miles. Battery passes a quick test and charging voltage looks normal, but after two or three days parked the car sometimes will not crank. What is the cleanest par…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 118,000 miles. Budget works for either a lightly used luxury SUV or a new mainstream model with a full warranty. I'm more worried about three-to-five-year ownership cost…
Cruising is smooth, but braking from highway speed makes the steering wheel shake. Pads still have material. Would you start with rotor runout/thickness variation, hub condition or suspension bushing…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 78,000 miles. I'm seeing the oil level fall enough between services that I now check it regularly. No obvious leak. For other turbo owners, what documentation/tests did y…
Bought a cheap project because the shell was solid, and now the 'small stuff' list is longer than the drivetrain list. How do you guys prioritize safety/reliability, fabrication, cosmetics and power…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 50,500 miles. Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you want…
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 1,200 miles. I replaced pads and rotors and now the brakes squeal at low speed even though stopping performance is good. Hardware was cleaned and lubricated. Is some nois…
Cabin fan works normally on certain settings and then cuts out or changes speed unpredictably on others. Before replacing the blower motor, what should be checked in the resistor/controller circuit?
A new model just dropped and the headline numbers look good, but I'm more interested in curb weight, wheel/tire sizes, real rear-seat room, charging/fueling, repairability and what features are locke…
