    How loud is it inside the cabin?

    I don't think it's loud at all. Used a decibel meter on my test drive and found the same sound level as the interior of my BMW.

    Back Seat Comfort (2014 model)

    Lol, a steady diet of discipline and scary Daddy faces when they were younger. They are now well-adjusted if not slightly traumatized teenager/tweens. :)

    Back Seat Comfort (2014 model)

    My kids rave about the back seat. Recently did a 700 mile round trip and no complaints from either of them.

    2014 Mazda CX-5 vs 2013 Ford Escape

    This. I also am having trouble seeing how Ford can be considered consistently in the top two in quality. JD Power rates them good in a few segments, but certainly no more than many others.

    Considering a CX-5, question about long trip comfort

    Just back from a 700 mile round trip. Zero complaints. Seats were comfortable, ride was comfortable, and she was a pleasure to drive. The kids reported the back seats were very comfortable on the long drive.

    tech package turning headlights

    Yeah, the lights are great. Price for the tech package is worth it for the headlights alone, imo.

    Engine temp gauge

    This. Same for the BMW- if the needle starts to move from the middle chances are your head is already warped. I prefer the light to the gauge. At least a red light will catch my eye. By the time you notice a temp gauge moving it's most likely too late.

    Oil Change using Extraction Method

    Haven't yet, but I will be. Use extraction on the BMW and find it much more convenient. Not true. My friend and I were concerned about this so we sent samples for oil analysis and found no difference in the level of contaminants in the motor- and that was after 50k miles worth of extraction...

    Potential CX 5 purchase

    +1. Best auto trans I've ever had in a vehicle. It's unfortunate that you're having problems. Your story is the primary example of why I will not buy a first-year production vehicle. You're always rolling the dice on undiscovered issues that will be resolved/corrected a year down the road...

    Keyless start - what is the point?

    ^No issues with my 2014 yet.

    Wheel weights

    ^I would have them rebalance the wheels or otherwise diagnose and correct the shake. No excuse for a brand new vehicle with wheel shake.

    Headrest problem

    And very conducive to a face full of 200mph airbag.

    Wheel weights

    Not sure if it's the wheel, the tires, or a combo of both. I'm going to mention it when I bring her in for the first service, but I expect I'll get the "nothing wrong with it" "totally normal" routine. She rides very smooth right now with zero detectable shake in the steering wheel, so I don't...

    Wheel weights

    I'll have to look for those. Pretty comical when I have more wheel weights on one wheel of the CX-5 than on the other 8 wheels of the other vehicles I own combined.
