Thanks for all the data points guys, very helpful. On the engine shudder, it's very subtle, but as I've been monitoring it, it does seem consistent and frequent. At almost every stop, it'll seem like the car shudders ever so slightly every couple seconds or so. Wonder if and what kind of poor...

Hey guys - finally joined the Mazda family and just picked up a pre-owned 2016 CX-5 GT with 42k miles on it! Loving it so far but had a couple of questions/concerns, hoping you guys can provide some thoughts. 1. Didn't notice this on the test drive, but seems like at idle/park, there is a very...

Yes I sure did, just picked her up this past weekend. Loving it so far though I have some other questions I'll ask in another thread. Thanks for all your help guys!

Thanks all - seems like I can use that button to tell if it does/does not have i-Activ. good to know!

Thanks guys. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Lane Departure Warning is only included with i-ActivSense package? If so, is the below icon the definitive way to tell?

The pre-owned ones don't have the original window sticker anymore :/

I've pulled some pics of the cars in question - do you guys know which of these (if any), has iActive? #1 <br> <br> <br> #2 <br> <br> <br> #3

Got it - so just to confirm the 2016 emblems with i-Activesense will have the "glossy black/resin cast" look to it? @nelsonlewis, I'm in the bay area. I'm very picky with the colors though and am only considering white/blue/gray exterior with white interior. Can you PM the one you're talking...

Since it's a used CX-5, some of the dealers I'm talking to aren't Mazda dealers, so despite my asking, they weren't able to look it up :( @yrwei52: can you clarify on how the mazda emblem looks different?

Hey guys - I've been shopping around for a 2016.5 pre-owned CX-5 and have been asking lots of questions of dealers. Thing is, most don't have the original window sticker or even know what the i-Activesense package is. Quite frustrating. Is there a way to visually tell from pictures or video if...

Side question: for the 2016.5, how difficult and costly it is to install roof rails if the 2016.5 didn't come with it from the factory?

I have the following emailed quotes from a couple dealers. What do you guys think? Good enough? Can I try to get them to come down more in-person? If so, any strategies? 2016.5 AWD GT w/ tech+iactive, roof rails | MSRP: 34,575| Offer: 29,720| Discount %: 14.04% 2016.5 AWD GT w/ tech, roof...

Hey guys - bit last minute but my fiance and I are just now trying to scoop up an outgoing 2016.5. I'm the kind of person that does a crap-ton of research for all major purchase decisions, so don't think I can feel comfortable buying a car by end of this weekend to take advantage of the 2k...
