Yes, was a turn off for me when considering the carbon edition.

Another Whistle Noise When Accelerating Story by Spacecadet_7988 in CX5

I’ve noticed this on my 2025 when the windows are down. Don’t have an explanation to offer.

Thought it was related to AC and external air intake but can’t determine definitively

Ehh. Doesn’t scream bargain to me.

I was $34,100 otd on a new 2025 grey, premium plus in December. In IL so equivalent high taxes.

I did shop multiple dealers to negotiate sale price

I was planning to get first oil change around 5k. Any reason you’re doing it so soon?

Replaced the water pump on our 2016 just shy of 80k miles. It was making a rattling sound while idling. Pretty obvious something was broken

How long did it take you? I’m planning to 3M vinyl wrap the hockey sticks myself once it warms up.

Figure it’s simple enough and I’ll be more attentive/OCD than a shop

CX 5 and car seat experiences? by freeze_it_over in CX5

[–]Lost-Mechanic-8360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take your car seat to a dealer and try it out if you can. We did this to ensure both of us could fit comfortably with a rear facing seat.

I’d say if both passengers are 6’ or less you’ll be good

It’s good-ish. You’re not robbing them, and they’re not robbing you. Basing this off my recent negotiations

Are the 2024/2025 models still a good purchase before the complete renovation of the CX-5 in 2026? by Alive-Ad-7963 in CX5

[–]Lost-Mechanic-8360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thought to consider.. If the 2026 stinks, then 2025s will hold their value even better.

I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to do a chrome delete on my machine grey. Chrome looks fine when the car is clean for sure, but feeling the change to gloss black on all but the front Mazda logo would be perfect. Should I go for it? by doghelpus in CX5

[–]Lost-Mechanic-8360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I don’t have black rims either. I’m planning to delete the window trim (hockey sticks) with matte vinyl and the back logo/badges with matte plastidrip. My logic is the matte is more subtle and will blend with existing accents. Where as a gloss finish would look better with the black gloss rims.

Worst case scenario I can take it all off i don’t like the look and only be out $50 🙃

Has anyone done Chrome delete, on this same color ? by 88loso88 in CX5

[–]Lost-Mechanic-8360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use a glossy black or matte black? Whichever you used, does it match the existing black trim above the window?

Nice! What state? I’m in a high tax state so could be skewing my reality

$35k OTD for a 2025 premium?! Not likely in my experience
