I weighed similar options as you switching from a sedan to CUV. My back also drove me to needing a more upright / higher sitting position and I was deciding between the CR-V and CX-5. I had always been a Honda fan, but like a few others on the forum, made the Mazda decision based upon the...

Congrats - enjoy!

Damn...that's a nice compliment to your CX-5.

No luck at the local Costco, nor can I find it the cushion online. Oddly enough, I sat for three hours at dinner last night in a hard chair and didn't feel much discomfort. Some softer seating surfaces have really caused my back/leg pain to flare this week. I asked a similar question in a...

I don't think they are terrible - just firm...firmer than our 2015 Odyssey. I have leg / back pain...not diagnosed as sciatica, but it sure seems like it from the symptoms I've read about. I've only had the car a few wks, so I'm hoping to find a comfortable spot by adjusting the seat. I see a...

Thx, paris1 - I'll check our local Costco.

DCCommuter I'm in a similar boat. Really like the car, but wish the seat was just a bit softer. Unfortunately, I don't think all Costco warehouses carry the same products and I didn't see any mention of a memory foam/gel pad on their website. Perhaps you will be luckier than me.

I went in thinking Touring, but liked the 19" rims and some of the other options on the GT. Seats felt good during the multiple test drives - maybe I'm just over-thinking it at this point.

Thanks for the suggestions on conditioning the seats. I used Griot's product on our 2015 Odyssey light gray leather and it cleaned nicely, but I think I'll check out Zaino or Lexol products for the CX-5. I was primary driver of the Odyssey for about 10 mos. and the seats felt a bit stiff/firm at...

Saw this - seems reasonable and relatively easy...https://youtu.be/NtkDG6pNkI4.

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. I'm a new owner as well - no tips on keeping it clean yet. Enjoy!

Same experience in my 2016 GT non-tech and my last car. The solution - USB charger plugged into my 12v and Waze will play over Bluetooth.

Hi...I have reviewed lots of posts re: the GT leather seats (how to clean, how they wear, etc.). I didn't see much of anything about if whether or not they soften a bit over time. I am really liking my 2016 - any advice / input is appreciated...thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanks, Mike!

Wishing I wasn't so curious to read through this thread...it can be anxiety-inducing. (nailbyt) Realizing that contributors to online forums account for only a small percentage of consumers, and therefore a fraction of reporting of defects, etc., is there any other information available as to...

Odd - I am headed home from work this evening, receive a text and prompt for it to be read. I didn't have an opportunity to update my OS...not sure what caused it to suddenly work.

Tccox - I have the same problem, but mine is a 5S IOS 8.4. Perhaps I'll attempt an update to the OS (although it doesn't seem to be working for you). My phone requires a password for work and I unfortunately cannot take it off...even temporarily.

Congrats on the purchase! The nav SD card is extra if not buying the GT w/tech pkg, correct?

Thanks! I almost went with the Reflex Blue, but my eye is always drawn to silver. I really like the LED lighting, but can do without the rest of the tech pkg. (I've had all of the beeping from lane departure, park assist, etc. - nice, but unnecessary).

Hi everyone...I joined Mazdas247 a few weeks ago as a means of educating myself while shopping for a CX-5. After much research and test-driving, I pulled the trigger and picked up a 2016 base GT (Silver) Monday evening! The buying experience was easy and I'm looking forward to many happy miles...
