25 with a clean driving record. State minimum insurance: No-fault, $1 million PPI (property), and unlimited PIP (medical and wages). I also have comprehensive.

The annual premium for my 2015 CX-5 is $3,800 which seems to be fairly reasonable for the vehicle segment.

What country are you in?

The 2015 windshield with rain sensor and SCBS is currently on back order.

A rock hit the windshield on mine this morning covering the dash and front seats in glass. Luckily the rock didn't go through the windshield because it hit directly above the steering wheel.

I switched back to 93 octane a few weeks ago and the CX-5 is much more tolerable. The throttle response is improved, the transmission doesn't have to downshift to make it over the hill by my house, and mpg (25mpg hwy) has not decreased even with the more spirited driving. I find the engine noise...

I liked the parchment interior when I was shopping for my CX-5 and I would have been happy with either option; I ended up getting the black interior. Five months later I was driving down the interstate about to take a sip from my half full venti black coffee when the side of the cup split...

In the Grand Touring trim it's very easy to get the exact color combo that you want. It took the dealer 12 hours to get the color I wanted.

What about the white residue?

Yes! The leather squeaks where the back and the side meet.

The range estimate on mine is precise because when it says 1 mile to empty I always have 2 gallons of fuel left in the tank. I wouldn't necessarily say that it is accurate since 2 gallons is not empty, but Mazda probably doesn't want us to be driving around with less than 2 gallons in the tank.

I drove mine up north right when I picked it up from the dealership. It was a few hundred miles on the interstate and I braked hard a few times to navigate around some deer in the road. I kept the car at 70mph most of the time but occasionally would drive faster to let the engine spend some time...

I experience this noise daily in my CX-5 with no suspension modifications. I notice it at low speeds because it's not drowned out by the wind noise, but it probably continues to make the noise at high speeds.

I had a Passat and that was the hottest seat heater I have ever felt. The seat heater in my 2015 CX-5 was still working well when it snowed last week. It warms up much more quickly than the climate control heat when the engine is cold.

Yes. I think NC has a law that requires headlights to be on when your windshield wipers are turned on, but a lot of states do not.
