    My dealer wants to buy back my 2013 CX-5

    I was at my dealership yesterday for oil change and tire rotation. The general manager saw me with my Black 2013 CX-5 (11k miles) and asked me if he could buy it back. I said something to the effect of the fact that I only bought it in June and that I'm sure I'm upside down on it. Long...

    2nd Color Choice

    I was set on Black with the sand interior. It's too hot in Alabama for a black interior. My second choice was the metallic silver color. I purchased Black with sand interior and I love it!

    Those with cloth interior......

    I bought a can of Scotch Guard Auto for $10. One can covered all the seats for me. I've used it in the past and it is helpful. My last car was leather and I attempted to get the GT for the leather, but couldn't find one, so I settled for the touring model. I've been super happy with the...

    Things we love about our CX-5's

    Agree with all your posts.... I really, really love the lights and warning thing on the side mirrors ~ blind spot warnings, I guess that's what they are called. Love them!

    Gas mileage question

    My CX5 touring FWD is truly averaging 30 mpg in the city. I'm a little over 1,000, think I'm at 1,300 right now. I'm not an aggressive driver at all though. Very pleased with the mileage.

    Out of State Purchase

    I bought my CX5 in Mississippi and I live in Alabama. The dealer just mailed the information to the Alabama Tag Office.... no problem and it didn't cost more than buying the vehicle in my home state.

    It's a girl question ...so cheesy I know...

    Anybody name their CX5? I always name my vehicles and haven't come up right the right name for my Mazda CX5. It's black and to me it looks really sexy, unlike other crossovers. I just can't come up with the perfect name....

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I bought CX5 Touring Model with Bose package and Tech package... total was $28,250. I think I paid pretty much invoice, but I went through USAA and the dealership searched and found my vehicle in the next state (Louisiana), traded for it and brought it to me in the next state over (Alabama). I...

    Adding Sirius to the CX-5?

    I believe the total was right at $525 for the Sirius with the labor for installation. I'm in Alabama though. I see you are in NY...probably much more expensive up there right??

    I love the blind spot indicator thingies....

    I had no idea about these things when I bought my CX 5... but they are the coolest. I can really see how these little light up things and the little beep that it makes could be a real safety feature. I think these are something that Mazda does uniquely aren't they? I just had a friend...

    CARGO NET and CARGO TRAY

    I just bought the cargo tray and I'm impressed with how it looks. Is the net effective...worth the cost?

    Adding Sirius to the CX-5?

    Just an update. I tried the Sirius App on my phone but that was more frustrating than anything, probably because of where I live. No reception at times... So, I went ahead and bit the bullet and had Sirius installed at the dealership. It looks perfect and they did an excellent job but I...

    Question about the Nav...

    I've never had a nav system before so forgive me if I sound elementary. I believe I have figured it out pretty well but I have one question. Is there a back light for daytime or something to that effect? I cannot see it at all in the sunlight. Have I missed some instruction that I should...

    Thinking of getting a CX5, but a bit apprehensive...

    I had no fears about purchasing the first year CX5. Way, way back in the day, when I was young and single, I bought the first year Miata. What a car!! I loved that car more than any other vehicle I've ever owned. So far, so good with my little CX5. I love how it drives, it actually...
