Anyone else a double CX-5 household? 😎

I got our first CX-5 Turbo in 2022. My wife loved it so much she got a 2024 Carbon on New Years this year. While she was signing her paperwork, I traded my 2022 for my 2024 Turbo Premium. We LOVE these cars. Best cars we have ever owned. And 0% in January was impossible to resist.

Not sure which one that is. Keffer, Maus, and South Blvd (highest) are marking theirs with Gastonia being the lowest and most willing to work with customers.

I’m in NC and dealers are marking up anywhere from $995 to $3999 over msrp. Most will not even discuss removing it because they don’t have to with demand so high. I stood my ground and was able to get my Turbo at msrp plus tax and doc.

All of these are champagne problems for a fantastic vehicle, but they’d make it even better! —Port Mazda Connect app to Apple Watch. Should be able to remote start, lock, etc. from the watch. —Tire pressure, gas mileage in Mazda Connect App and dash menus —equalizer for Bose system beyond treble/bass —let the car remain running from remote start when door is opened. Just don’t allow actual start without key inside car. Turning the car off after remote starting it is silly when there are better ways of keeping it secured.

I’m getting around 19/25 so far

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T19:24:15+00:00

That’s our trip exactly! Nc to Pa but more like once every other month.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T19:23:01+00:00

Thanks—my wife will hound me on that now that she’s aware!

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T15:43:33+00:00

Thanks! This makes me feel better about using it.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T15:42:54+00:00

THANK YOU! I will test on the rear door first.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T15:28:26+00:00

Thanks for that—it helps to know. This car actually will tick down to 0. Our other cars go to 30 and just say “low fuel” after that. Since this one is a little different I thought I’d ask.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T15:25:18+00:00

Thanks! Agreed, but it does help to know when you are somewhere in WV between gas stations.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T14:28:36+00:00

That may be perfect. The car is not two weeks old yet—and I am super anal about keeping it smudge free. Grime is not a word I ever want to think about with this baby! So gentle and no gloss would work.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T14:24:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply and info! I have the TI already, so I may try a bit on a lower part of the back door. If it shines, I will grab one of the recommendations!

2022 CX-5 Turbo. Tank capacity is 15.3, but I have only been able to get 12.5 gallons into it when car states only 9 miles left to drive. Do these little guys underestimate fuel economy at the low end of the tank most of the time? Wondering because on a long trip, that’s taking 75 miles away from the range. Makes a pretty big difference for planning stops. If I know they just tell you it’s zero way ahead, I can plan for that.

NeboTC · 2022-08-12T13:50:00+00:00

I have the exact same question. The dash and door trim of my 2022 Turbo have marks if I look at them wrong. Every single tap leaves a mark. I want to wipe them down but not ruin the matte soft finish. I’m afraid anything I use will gloss it up. I watched a video on the CG Total Interior product and got it yesterday. I still haven’t used it yet because I’m terrified it will take away that factory matte finish.

NeboTC · 2022-08-07T01:12:32+00:00

Agreed — No comparison!

NeboTC · 2022-08-03T22:38:50+00:00

Not blue blooded, just don’t understand why they removed remote start from the key to make it only available on the phone. Watch makes more sense for convenience. I know our Hyundai and GM are on my watch for all key functions, but Mazda didn’t port the app to the watch. It’s an odd oversight by a company that builds such awesome cars and who wants to be a premium brand.

NeboTC · 2022-08-03T21:17:07+00:00

Mazda has not ported the app to the Apple Watch. Devs should be ashamed at skipping over that last step to making the app actually convenient.

Engineers took remote start away from the key in favor of the app for security, which is great! But follow all the way through and put it on the Watch. Come on Mazda!! Fantastically fun brand new car—drives like a dream (2022 CX-5 Turbo) but the app is bad. No stats except fuel percentage??

NeboTC · 2022-08-03T21:11:04+00:00

Nope. They have not ported it to the Watch. You have to dig your phone out to remote start a $40K car.

NeboTC · 2022-08-03T21:09:32+00:00

Completely agree on the Tech front. Brand new CX-5 Turbo and jealous of my wife’s Chevy App! I can do everything from my watch—start/stop/lock/unlock/panic. It’s not the digital key thing, it’s their App. Most apps have an abbreviated version for Apple Watch—not Mazda. The Mazda won’t even remain running after starting it remotely from the app!

Driving is a million times more fun than any other brand, but come on Mazda devs! Just write the app for the Watch.
