    Is the bloom off the rose for CX-5 or is it just a model year changeover glitch?

    Ratings are important... it's always a consideration with my purchases.

    Brand flippin new--help!

    LOL! I was thinking the same thing... you would think there would have been an update by now.

    Is the bloom off the rose for CX-5 or is it just a model year changeover glitch?

    There is certainly a lot of things we can speculate as to why... but in looking at the reports again, Mercedes reported best Feb sales volume ever, Hyundai reported best Feb ever, Mitsubishi reported best Feb in 7 years, Subaru Canada reports best Feb ever... and manufactures, including Mazda...

    Fantastic... I will check them out... looks like Bob had a good experience too. I had a very frustrating day yesterday and everyone today is still just as bad... they all keep pricing out 2015's or touring over grand touring. I get so excited when I get an email and it's the wrong car...

    Is the bloom off the rose for CX-5 or is it just a model year changeover glitch?

    This is interesting... in checking it out a little closer with their competitors, I don't think it can all be explained that everyone was waiting on the new 2016's to hit... many consumers don't do that extra digging. I checked many other crossovers... and all are up for 2015! CRV, RDX, Santa...

    Is the bloom off the rose for CX-5 or is it just a model year changeover glitch?

    Yes, I wonder when this will happen. I am trying to work out a deal right now and most are only budging $400 and many are just sending me a quote for the 2015 instead of the 2016 that I requested... not sure if they think I can be convinced I don't know what I want but it's extremely...

    CX5 vs RDX

    Bob, That's exactly what I intend on doing... It seems as though better deals are to be had outside of OC... I think inland empire dealers seem more willing to deal. I will be sending out my mass emails. I have already started. :)

    CX5 vs RDX

    I saw your deal and was hoping the dealer was ok with giving out their name because I too am in OC... however, I understand it was a one time deal and good for you!!! I am going to start the email process here in the next day or so and see what kind of luck I have shaving something off the...

    CX5 vs RDX

    Money certainly is a consideration... when I started the thread I was leaning a bit toward comparing the 2015 RDX (even though I do like the 2016 better) with the 2016 CX5... with Mazda not moving much on the price with the 2016's due to them being new and popular, and Acura coming out with the...

    CX5 vs RDX

    Thanks everyone... most of the cost issues mentioned is why I was heavily leaning toward the CX5. While I like to have a ride I enjoy, i am not one to break the bank for the experience. I also like the look of the CX5 WAY better than the Acura... the Acura definitely doesn't have that sporty...

    CX5 vs RDX

    What are your opinions?? I really love the look of the CX5 a LOT! Very sporty and nice looking car... I feel like it has a fun factor the RDX doesn't. I haven't had the chance to drive the 2016 CX5 yet, but hope to soon.... however, the RDX has such a smooth quiet ride which keeps me...

    Just took home a 2016 CX-5 AWD GT - found a scuff on the headlight

    I am sure it will work out... you may have a bit of a fight on your hands, which is a pain, but I wouldn't take no for an answer. You called immediately when you got home and noticed, so you have done all you reasonably can be expected to do. If they say no continue to go higher and be...

    Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?

    Does anyone know how long it takes after the new models come out before they will start discounting them? I have been waiting on the 2016's and will need to buy in late March/early April... any chance things will settle a bit by then or am out out of luck? (hi)
