I loaded mine to the absolute max---we went and got it weighed---and then drove it across the country, east to west. This included all sorts of driving, including up and down some rural mountain roads. It did just fine. Then, it got into a wreck. That went as well as can be expected. We...

Power seat controls with a lumbar support for the front passenger seat. Then my husband would stop speculating about how much it might cost to get one installed whenever he's in the car.

Just drove the car from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Tomtom got us here with no problems.

Thanks for all the advice! I think we'll wait until the new phones come out this fall and go look at them in the store. I plugged my ipod into the aux and it works just fine. We'll check the list on Mazda's website and bring it with us when we go to the store, but it sounds like the iphone...

I think we want to get smartphones. My current phone is actually 10 years old. DH's is 6 years old...he goes through them faster than I do. I figure what's top of the line today will be a clunker in 5 years, but if it's new now, it'll still be good then. Thus we got the GT. :) That said, I...

Hi All, My husband and I belong to the class of people with prehistoric cellphones. Well, ok, not that bad---there's no little case attached---but they're old. They're also starting to die. And we're moving to CA, land of hands-free cellphone use only in the car. I want to replace our...

Mine picked up a dirt bike last night, and a pack of motorcycles on Friday. I figured the pack makes sense...and the dirt bike was fairly tall.

I traded my 1994 red 4 door Acura Integra LS. That was a great car---I am counting on the CX-5 to be just as good!

I hate the headrests. At 5'3" they slam right into the back of my head. I actually have to hold my head very far forward if I want to have my back against the seatback at all. And forget having any hairstyle but straight. Ironically, I have a ruptured disc in my neck, and the position the...

I have it! Red AWD GT tech package w/ sand & black interior. It is wonderful! Of course, every car my family has owned has been red with either black or tan interior---so I was predisposed to like it. The red sparkles the sun, and the two-tone interior keeps it from being too cave-like in...

According to our dealer, the GT Trim production is now Un-hiatused. The red CX-5 GT w/ tech package that I have been trying to buy for over a month is back on the June shipment. Good luck to any other frustrated buyers out there...
