From what I could tell when I was shopping a month ago: - round button on front door handles for advanced keyless entry on a 2014 means Tech package; this was added as standard on 2015 GTs - if the headlights on a 2013-2015 have distinct silver-black-silver concentric rings around the bulb...

I'll second the 'exactly'... bear in mind myself and Crashed_Ice are in Canada, incentives and financing will likely vary on each side of the border. With my 2016 GT Tech purchased 3-4 weeks ago I was able to stack the summer savings cash ($500), first time buyer incentive ($500) as I had no...

PillowRage - CarCostCanada + 0% - incentives was the indication I received from Gyro Mazda in Toronto, though I believe that dealer has some sort of referral deal with CarCost which may factor into it. May or may not be the case in other areas. Gyro cold-called me hours after I ordered the...

I bought a 2016 CX-5 GT Tech last week at the dealer in central-east Toronto - which I would not recommend - and found your best bet is likely walking in with a Car Cost Canada printout in hand, they appeared willing to match the dealer invoice price on it no questions asked. The current round...

I started a new thread on it, but I ordered the Mazda Australia/NZ OEM 'bonnet protector' today in smoke (also available in clear). I'll post results when it arrives.

Newbie 5-day CX-5 owner here. Wasn't impressed with what I've seen of the U.S./Canada market OEM 'hood protector' and some hunting around the forums here only found the now-unavailable EGR hood deflector. Some googling found that Mazda Australia and New Zealand offer OEM 'bonnet protectors' in...
