In addition to cutting down noise, vibrations are also greatly reduced. If you will need to travel with a lot of stuff, you will appreciate the cargo space in the Mazda CX-30. Behind the back row, you will get 20.2 cubic feet, which goes up to 45.2 cubic feet when it’s folded.

The weather has already been pretty frightful in the Indianapolis area, and it could get much worse before the season is over. If you have to do a lot of driving, you need to know that your vehicle can handle slippery conditions. This means making sure that your tires are in excellent shape so they can give you the best traction. If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs with your Mazda3, it is probably time for a repair or replacement:

Constant Noise or Vibrations

Hearing something out of the ordinary with your vehicle is a tell-tale sign that there is a problem. The same is true if it does a lot of shaking, even on smooth roads. The issue could be related to poor alignment, but it may also have to do with a problem inside the tire.

Dropping Air Pressure

Do you often find yourself having to visit one of those air stations when you stop for gas? Frequently having to put air in the tires of your 2019 Mazda3 is an indication of a leak, and ignoring it will only make it worse.

Trouble Stopping

When you have good tires, as soon as you apply the brakes, they should give you traction. If it takes a moment or requires you to step very firmly on the pedal, this could be a brake issue, but the tires may also be to blame. Take a look at the treads to see what kind of conditions they’re in. If they’re extremely low or the tire is even bald, you don’t want to wait to get new tires.

Driving on unsafe tires puts you, your passengers, and other drivers in danger. For tire repairs or replacements, visit the Mazda service center at our dealership.

What would happen if you went out to start your car one morning and you couldn’t turn it on? This would probably have a major impact on the rest of your day, especially if it meant you were unable to get to work or drive the kids to school. With temperatures dropping daily in the Franklin area, the cold weather can be a strain on your Mazda CX-5, and especially its battery. Cold weather means the battery has to work harder to deliver power to the engine, along with the lights, heat, and other components. But how do you know if your battery is dying? See if any of these things are familiar:

Clicking Sound

If you hear a clicking when you turn the key, this is a sign that the battery is having trouble sending enough current to the starter.

Sluggish Start

A car with a healthy battery starts almost immediately. But if it takes a little while for yours to get going, the battery is probably to blame.

No Start without Pressing on the Gas Pedal

When things are as they should be, cars should start almost effortlessly. If you need to step on the accelerator, something is almost certainly wrong with the battery.

Dimmed Headlights

Do your headlights look weak? If so, chances are good that the battery is failing. Decreased light is also dangerous for you and your passengers.

If you have noticed any of these symptoms with your battery, you shouldn’t wait to get it looked at. Our Mazda service center will diagnose the problem and either make the necessary repair or get your Mazda CX-5 outfitted with a new battery.

The line between sedan and SUV is getting blurrier all the time, and the Mazda CX-5 is a great example of a vehicle with the best of both worlds. The 2019 model especially combines the best of both types of vehicles.

2019 MAZDA CX-5 Details

Powertrain

You will have your choice of three different engines with the 2019 Mazda CX-5. The base is a 187-horsepower 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder unit. Brand-new for this year is a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine that produces 227 horsepower, which can go up to 250 when you use premium gas. The third option is available in the Signature trim, and it’s a 2.2-liter Skyactiv®-D diesel engine.

Comfort and Space

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 has plenty of space for five people, and there is a lot of headroom. Manually adjustable front seats, cloth upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are all standard. You can upgrade to get leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and power-adjustable front seats. In addition to room for people, you will also have a lot of room for stuff in your Mazda CX-5. There is 30.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which increases to 59.6 when it is down.

Safety

You’ll find several advanced safety features in the new Mazda CX-5, including low-speed automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. To make your car even safer, you can equip it with countless other options, such as full-speed automatic braking, a 360-degree parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, and lane-keep assist.

It won’t be long now before the really cold days get to Whiteland. And while you may have gotten your HVAC serviced or dug out all of your warmest clothes, have you prepared your car for the colder temperatures on the way? Now is a good time to focus on some key areas for maintenance, including:

Tires

Late fall and winter weather means snow and ice, and lots of it. That’s why you have to be sure that your tires will give you the traction you need to stop safely. You may also want to think about putting snow tires on before it really starts to fall.

Battery

Without a good battery, your Mazda SUV may not be able to take you anywhere. You should think about having your battery tested now because they have to work harder in cold weather. And when you add in the fact that you could be using several high-power systems once – like the heater, headlights, and windshield wipers – you’ll understand why winter can be tough for your battery.

Headlights

Speaking of headlights, this is another crucial component during the winter. Shorter days mean darker days, and you have to be able to rely on your lights to cut through the murk.

Windshield Wipers

Once the freezing rain, sleet, and snow arrive, how confident are you that your wipers will clear all of that for you? If you have your doubts, a new pair is inexpensive and can be installed pretty easily.

If you’re concerned about any of these areas, our Mazda service center can check out your vehicle and make sure that it’s in great condition before the bad weather arrives.

Some people buy a car based on its reliability. Others focus on things like tech features. And some just want a beautiful vehicle. Fortunately, when it comes to the 2019 Mazda3, you don’t have to choose.

2019 Performance

The 2019 Mazda3 comes with a 183-horsepower 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine that’s paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. You’ll have tons of fun zipping around Greenwood in this car through its excellent acceleration, sharp steering, and effortless handling.

Comfort

You’ll be pleasantly surprised with all of the room you will find in the Mazda3, and five people can fit very comfortably. The supportive seats come with cloth upholstery, but you can upgrade to leather. An 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are also available.

Tech

The 2019 Mazda3 comes with numerous tech features. Push-button start, an infotainment system with an 8.8-inch display, Bluetooth®, two USB ports, and HD radio are all standard.

It won’t be long now before the temperature drops significantly in the Greenwood area and we will all need to dig out our sweaters and jackets. But that won’t be the only thing falling; soon our streets will be covered in leaves, and when you add rain into the mix, this can make for very slippery conditions. This is why it’s vital that your brakes are working properly on your Mazda SUV or whatever else you drive. If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to have them looked at:

Squeaking

If you hear something that sounds like squeaking or squealing when you approach a stop sign or red light, chances are that something is wrong with your brakes. While this sound most likely isn’t a rotor or other part, it’s probably a metal shim that’s designed to alert you when there is something amiss.

Slow Response

Does your car have trouble stopping unless you really press down hard on the brake pedal? This could indicate a problem with the brake line. There may be a fluid leak or air that has gotten into the line.

Vibrations

If you feel some shaking when applying the brakes, this is probably related to the rotors. Rotors can become warped over time with a lot of stop-and-go driving, especially with steep descents or if a vehicle does a lot of towing.

Grinding

Hearing a grinding sound related to your car is never good, and if you hear it when putting on the brakes, this could mean that the pads have worn down completely. If this is the case, the metal caliper and metal brake disc are rubbing against each other, and it’s possible that the rotors will need to be tuned or replaced.

If you think something it wrong with your brakes, the Mazda service center at our dealership will give you an expert repair or replacement. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
