I just joined the forum. I don't have a Mazda, but have been looking at them.
My current 2015 Ford Fusion is being bought back as a lemon, so I would like to replace it. This CD sounds like something to avoid, so buying a used 2017 is not out of the question. My 2017 Camaro has CD, but you can over-ride it by doing some manual shifting of the automatic trans. I find CD very annoying as it does not come back on smoothly, switching from v-4 to v-6. The difference in MPG is no very noticeable.
I was initially thinking of getting a 6, then a 3, now the CX-5. I still need to drive all of them, and decide if we need a sedan or suv.
The 6 or the CX-5 with a turbo are fantastic and don’t have cylinder deactivation if it’s really a deal breaker. I test drove a 6 GT Reserve just to see what I was missing and wow, that was nice. For what it’s worth I can’t tell when the cylinders are on or off on my mother in laws 2018 CX-5. I could definitely feel it on my old ‘15 Odyssey V6 though.
