Ya I agree. Could it be that hard to program a sport mode? The 2.5 has the power. Why not let it ride the gear a little longer..... Btw I love the Durango. I had an old '99 that was an absolute beast off road. Good luck with it!

I saw a similar post on another car forum I frequent. Loved it! Share some pictures of the car you sold or traded in on a CX-5. Here's my old Mazda 6. What a great car. The thing was amazing on gas. Also really fun to drive. Wife bought the car new in 2007. It was the first new car she bought...

Unless you hit me with some actual data on that one I can't buy the argument. But no worries. Regardless I prefer the cx5. Doesn't sound like you are happy with yours though. Sorry man. It's about as nice a vechicle as Mazda builds.

Thanks for the pics man. The homemade guard idea sounds tricky. Looks like a hard spot to secure anything. Good luck with it!

I was just in there checking out the jack. No condensation. Good luck man!

Haha nice. I'm jealous - the folks who can wash their car by hand year round in warm weather have it made. You can make a car last forever if salt doesn't eat it alive slowly.

I can see where you are coming from. Gotta disagree though. A couple subjective sqeaks and a bushing is nothing. The owner could just simply be a perfectionist and have the downtime available to try and make every little thing right at the dealer.

Thanks for the heads up on the TSB. I've felt something similar; I bet that's my issue.

Thank you! Good call. I feel like a dweeb trying to figure out how to manually shift an auto. A total rookie. And the worst part?? It's something I felt like I was going to be good at. I'm a good driver behind a stick! But still can't get that one to feel right. So when I was shopping I...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, I bought a 2015 CX-5 grand touring AWD in August of 2014. Just wanted to post a write-up on it. I've really enjoyed it so far and love the fact Mazda has active owner forums. I think I paid around $30k for it, out the door for just shy of $32k with 60...
