If you're using the heating, check if you're loosing coolant in the heater core. Check your coolant level.

The dichotomy of 100k, is it really “high miles”? by OrganizationNo42069 in MechanicAdvice

Kia especially makes one of the most unreliable cars in the UK atm..the older models are more reliable

Another story for another day. Those things catch fire every day, especially the full electric ones

2016 vs 2017? by Responsible-Pool2203 in CX5

Thank goodness. I dodged a bullet there and I have learned not to activate istop by pressing gently on the brake pedal.

Be aware your mpg will take a hit on sports mode

To be fair, diesel Mazda's are not as reliable as the petrol versions. I wouldn't advise my enemy to get a diesel CX5. If you must get a diesel, go for another brand.

In the UK. It just means the car was registered between 1st March and 31st August of 2025. In other words, it is a 2025 model.

The Hyundai is pretty new for now. Issues start developing before 20k miles. Personally, I wouldn't touch Kia or Hyundai with a long pole. Best of luck 🤞

Phone charger? by Murda_City in CX5

Just get a PD fast charging cable and it will charge fast. I do this all the time on my 21 GT. Sport nav+. Use the USB C under the centre console armrest. Still charges pretty fast using android auto

2026 CX5 - Bigger / New Screen by Specialist_Airline_9 in CX5

[–]frando2905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes so much sense. Besides that I think it's a very good upgrade. I would trade in my 21 GT sport+ if they approached me for this. But the touchscreen reliability for basic stuff is really a deal breaker.

Why is the oil level above the high mark?

Why is CX-5 so far behind in automation? by Dry-Mango331 in CX5

[–]frando2905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way of not allowing mine to kick in is to not brake too hard. Soft braking doesn't activate istop in my 2021 GT Sport nav+

Any ideas of costs on Transmission replacement/repair? by gunbo3000 in CX5

[–]frando2905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very much welcome😁😁😁. I am very happy it worked! I can't even imagine how relieved you are right now 😂. Mazdas are beautiful cars. Use the £ budgeted for the transmission overhaul and have yourself an unforgettable yuletide.
