    Purchasing soon. Any thoughts on "best price" range?

    Larone, if you check the sticky thread for this forum on latest ("Current selling price for a CX-5") and start reading from the back you'll find a lengthy post from me about my purchase of a 2014 Touring AWD a week ago. I hope it helps. But, it was Colorado and the only Sky Blue around. One...

    Full size spare wheel+tire in OEM spare storage?

    Subject says it all. I've gone on long trips before where I'll be away in remote areas of the USA and away from cities for days. I'd like to get a full size wheel + tire and store it in the space where the OEM spare is at. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm assuming the OEM spare is a little...

    2014 CX-5 New Owner Observations: Detailed Review (2.5L Touring AWD)

    On two of my test drive trips to dealers, I walked by and had some time to checkout the 2014 Mazda 6. It's stunningly beautiful and looks like it shares genes with an Aston Martin DB9. I enjoyed seeing it but it wasn't a distraction because I need the ground clearance that the CX-5 offers...

    2014 CX-5 New Owner Observations: First Mountain Drive (2.5L Touring AWD)

    Thanks for all the positive comments to my previous thread ("Detailed Review"). I really appreciate them! I took the CX-5 on its first trip to the mountains today and it handled them swimmingly. A typical road trip to the mountains (for me) involves a lot of curvy, windy road of gradual...

    2014 CX-5 New Owner Observations: Detailed Review (2.5L Touring AWD)

    I noticed a similar "quirk" like this today on a 3 hour drive. On flat or down sloping roads I tried to ease up or take my foot off the gas pedal to see how it would react. A couple of times when I very, very gently put some pressure on the pedal, it felt like it was in a too high gear and...
