I love your Mazda CX-5 videos. I own one. You may have left out one feature that's useful for those long road trips. The back seats will recline back just like the big reclining chair in your living room : )

[@sandyd2527]

I just bought a 2022 Carbon edition and this was very informative. Thanks.

[@fredfeldman9206]

Using the dashboard light level stalk, you can also replace the duplicate fuel/MPG economy gauges with a "miles to empty" gauge and a compass. This compass is different than the one that can be displayed in the middle of the speedo using the info switch.

[@chaoticpuppet1]

Not on Alabama but I do enjoy your videos. Recently needed a repair on my '19 mazda 3 (squirrels 😠). My preferred dealership gave me a '23 cx5 signature as a temporary loaner until I got a rental. Loved everything about it and it was my first ever turbo experience. The cx5 will be my next vehicle for sure when the time comes. Thanks and algo's

[@dogsarefun2]

just purchased a 23 signature mangers demo car. Solid built in Japan. Just opening the doors and closing them you can tell is a well-built vehicle.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺, I own a 2017 Atenza Mazda 6 I have had no troubles with it, I feel that the 2.5ltr petrol engine is a very good motor and good on fuel and the power train is terrific. The interior is beautiful the Napa leather is very nice and comfortable there are to many good points to go into but to say that they are beautifully built and the handling is great after all it won the moose test without any problems, I would buy another if I had to thank you kind regards John

Hi Jonathan, I bought a 2021.0 Signature CX5 in Canada with an 8" screen. Surprisingly, Apple CarPlay works wirelessly, and there's a WiFi option under the phones menu in the car which I doubt is doing this. Because I don't see wireless carplay as a feature for 2021 models.

[@heathstjohn6775]

Thanks very much. I certainly didn't know about using the Mute button to darken the screen.

[@JSS]

That happens a lot by mistake 😬

[@brentwoodbay]

Great video! Thanks for doing it! Is this a 2024 model? The four clicks for the windows does not work on our 2024. Would that be because it is a GX model, the base model in Canada?

[@lisaw7633]

Jonathan, I'm waiting on the news about the CX70. I'm hoping it has SiriusXM . I'll be trading in my CX5 . I'm excited

[@tripresidue]

I double tap that home for clock feature but I switched it to dial clock to confuse people under 40 years old.

[@Arlene_witha_y]

Wow i just realized the times i thought my screen was glitching or having issues was probably bc when i got into the car i set my bag down on the volume knob and turned off the display. 🤦🏻‍♀️! It hasn’t happened but a few times since and now i think it’s this and not a problem, thank goodness bc i just bought out my cx 5 2022 lease 15 months early. I’m using more than 12k miles and i love my car and would rather stop leading and keep this one for a long time! This video was very helpful even though i have the base trim

[@joepipher6884]

If I bought a Mazda, CX five 2023 year that does not have some of the options listed because of Covid manufacturing issues am I able to have a dealer add those post purchase such as adding the Bose sound system, or the liftgate, etc.

[@barneyboyle6933]

I didn't believe it when someone told me Mazdas don't offer remote start except through a phone app which requires a subscription. What a shady disappointment. Shame on Mazda.

[@user-kk6ze7fp8q]

I don’t have a subscription and pay for anything for my mazda app and remote start. I have a 2021 cx-5.

[@manisymone8622]

I really can afford a 2012 right now. The high mileage ones are all around or just below 8-9K. 290.000 km on the odo. Is it worth it and how long can they go if well taken care of?

[@Noxlion28]

I love learning about the CX-5 and other Mazdas and all, but please tell me Mazda isn’t going to discontinue the Mazda3. I’m a sedan guy

[@johnedieter739]

I just tried the windows down trick on my 2021 CX5 - didn't work. Is this specific to certain year models?

[@1Down5UpOfficial]

Ok my mom just bought a 2021 mazda cx5 but the mymazda app only showed cars 2022 and up was it updated since this video? Or was it probably limited because I was signed in as a guest? I feel like it would've showed me all the years whether or not I was signed in as a guest

[@taxdad9729]

Does the 2024 cx5 come with a full paper owners manual that explains all of these features or must buyers request the manual? Honda doesn’t provide the paper manual unless you request it.

[@ryanelectra225]

It comes with a paper manual.

[@gmundenat]

You mentioned tire rotation, do you cross them? (Front to back same side, rear to front opposite side)

[@GoBills1990]

I would rec always crossing only the front or rear when you do it but stick to that pattern. That way by 20k each tire has been in each position

[@dyva422]

Any info on cx70???

[@LostWithoutHer]

The title of this clip made me jump a little as I initially thought Mazda had gone BMW and was wanting a subscription fee to activate hidden features. Good to know that's not the case. If only Mazda would increase their warranties, it would show more confidence in their product and cars past 36k mi would retain value better. My guess is they do that to keep vehicle sales rates falsely high by getting current owners to replace as they approach end of warranty because full vehicle redesigns are definitely not on a consistent 3 year cycle. What say you? 🤔

[@johnpanagiotopoulos8539]

Mr Richard, how about small wipers for side mirrors? 😂

[@mso8190]

On point 8, how do you change the settings to open the drivers door only with the button? On my car, all the doors open when the button is pressed once. I would like to change it.

[@michaelphinney9294]

Go to main screen and scroll to car settings. There you can fine tune 1 door or all doors

[@adamg.515]

its so sad how the north american versions get the orange side markers, in europe its a curve light so it works with the adaptive headlights and illuminates the sides really good

[@user-dk9fh5ry1w]

I have a 2022 model and after 25,xxx miles have a tire roar even after rotation every oil change, 7,500 or less. I was told by Mazda tech, Mazdas need tire alignment every 10,000 because of the type of suspension...is this true?

Perhaps it’s the trim level? That or maybe not doing it right? I thought it might just be with the PR Plus but just tried it with my 2023 PR (not plus) and it worked

[@Richardak600]

Up here where we have winter weather the badge on the grill freezes and stops working in snow or sleet. Why not add a heater to stop that from happening.

[@lauracebula3222]

I’m on my second cx9 and had to pull over a couple times in an slushy ice storm just to clean that off. The whole front end was encased in ice, but even driving in snow trips it up. Heating it would be smart! I wonder if there’s an after-market heater thingie 🤔either that or squirt some washer fluid down it.

[@erinsimmons9247]

@@lauracebula3222just curious are you talking about the sensor used for the cruise control/picking up other cars in front of you? Other than the notification saying it’s not working right now why would it matter if you’re driving through a blizzard or other horrible visible like weather?

[@Ankeneering]

For 2024 vehicles they’ve given you wireless CarPlay/ Android. (Everybody and their dog bitched to high heaven about that absence) and also upped the HP from 250 to 256… (undoubtedly a simple software tweak and not anything mechanical). Also the top spec gets side mirrors in an alternate color.

Most of this does not apply to a CX5 Select model.

[@brianhope5853]

It's been a sad moment when consumers find out that "what makes the vehicle move" DOES NOT include all the electrical components which cumulatively can equal an engine/transmission overhaul. That cost, which is more likely to happen than an engine/transmission failure, is the consumers responsibility. Bring back the EPA 5 year/ 80,000 mile component manufacturer coverage.

Also MyMazda can cost as much as $400 per year after the first 3 years.
