I am getting ready to sell my 2013 CX-5. Going on military orders so trade-in is not an option. Loan balance is approximately KBB private party value. I have never sold a car this expensive before, and I am a bit leery of just putting it out there on craigslist. I usually drive a car for ten...

Touring seats are also uncomfortable.

Seats I have been complaining about this for the entire year I have owned the vehicle. The seats are AWFUL! And it has nothing to do with being short. I am 6 foot and weigh 185. I am in the military and in good shape. But when I complain about the seats people have suggested I am...

>> 7) There seems to be no function to simply get directions to a city, if I don't know an address in that city. Every other GPS I've had can simple take directions to a city. Believe me, I hate the Tom-Tom. But to be fair this one does exist. Voice control: Get directions to a City Center...

I feel like a chump every time the issue of the seats come up. As I have stated previously I would not have purchased the vehicle had I driven 30 miles on a test drive at one time. The seats just flat out hurt my lower back, even just driving around town. On the recommendation of someone on...

Seats are terrible. No solution yet. Had the car for over a year. There is no magic adjustment. I think they may have gotten worse over time, so no "break-in" period. No kidding, I might get rid of a great vehicle because I can't sit for 30 minutes without being in pain. I need to drive...

I find them annoying. Our passenger seat headrest is turned backwards (which is quite comfortable). I rotated the driver seat back and forth until I found a comfortable position with the seat (or more likely just got used to it).

The seats are definitely uncomfortable to me. Enough so that I would have bought a different car in hindsight. Start to get sore after about an hour in the lower back. After a few hours it is miserable for me. I have made trips in other cars of 16+ hours with no issue, I could never do that...

At the dealer today for the mirror. Still no fix, but it is in the works. You get used to the bouncing mirror very fast, for what it is worth.

It always feels to me like there is a metal bar across my lower back. Similar to what it is like to sleep on a fold-out couch. It is padded, but you definitely know it is there. I was hoping it was just my car and there was an issue that could be fixed, but the demo model at the lot felt the...

We just finished an 8000 mile road trip in the CX-5. We traveled from Washington State to Florida. Here are my impressions after the big loop around the country. CX-5 Touring with Tech Package 1. Hood bounces (only above 70 mph) 2. Driver's side mirror bounces (only above 70 mph) 3. Drivers...
