    HUD bezel reflecting on windshield

    Wear polarized sunglasses...HUD becomes very subdued even if cranked up. :)

    Carbon edition and other "Special" editions - What's the deal?

    I wonder if these “special editions” are a stop gap to add some interest to the fifth year of the current model. And will it soldier on basically unchanged also for 2022 since the rumours are that the “all-new” CX-5 won’t arrive until 2023?

    Battery life for key fob...How long does yours last?

    About 16 months for my ‘19 Signature. I was surprised...had gone several years without changing on my ‘08 RDX.

    2021 CX-30 LKAS

    I have a 2019 CX-5 and the LKAS is a very (too) subtle rumble and nudge. I do like the LDW light flash however and find that really helpful.

    Cabin noise reduced in 2020s?

    I also have a 2019 Signature and that’s my experience too. I’m coming off of many years of Acura ownership and experienced lots of wind and tire noise compared to the CX-5.

    2021 Mazda CX-5 announcement

    So cosmetic and some tech changes. No new sheet metal or engine changes. I wonder if Mazda thinks they can soldier on with this tinkering for the 2022 CX-5 so basically six model years since the 2017 was introduced. Perhaps, like some rumors frequently suggest, the "all-new" model will appear as...

    2021 CX-9 getting newer Mazda Connect, chances of CX-5 getting it?

    Dumb decision. It's such an obvious selling point.

    2021 Mazda CX-5 announcement

    We do get the carbon edition in black or gray though, a choice not available in the US. ;-) But I agree. I’m really disappointed with the infotainment decision. The Canadian changes are so negligible that I’m planning on buying out my lease and coming back when there is a truly “new“ CX-5.

    Paint Colors GT

    Speaking of marketing, I think the colors could have more creative names too. Do you want to tell your neighbors that your car is "Snowflake White" or "Machine Gray"? BMW X3 equivalent is "Alpine and "Dark Graphite".

    Paint Colors GT

    I looked at it when my 2019 was in for service. In the sunlight, it seems more blue tinted than the web photos appear. I prefer my Machine Gray.

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    They could add the 48" infotainment screen shown at CES, LOL. Seriously, I'm very happy with my 2019 Signature.

    Lane Keeping Assist Behavior

    Agree. When I was test-driving my 2019 Signature, the salesman kept boasting about the lane keep assist and I honestly couldn't feel a thing. Now, I can under ideal conditions but the vibration in the steering wheel is more useful. My wife has a 2019 Crosstrek and its lkas certainly does more to...

    Disappointments / missing things in your CX-5?

    Looking forward to the new Mazda 3 interior dash design and larger infotainment screen. I haven't seen any new references to the "no new models until 2023" reports, but, if that's true, I wonder what Mazda can still do to the CX-5 for two more model years to keep it "new and improved"?

    Poll Did you choose the CX-5 over a German SUV?

    Sort of repeating myself but the only German BMW SUV you can buy in the US is the X1/X2 and even that may possibly be from the new plant in the Netherlands. Oh, and the RDX is made in Ohio.

    Poll Did you choose the CX-5 over a German SUV?

    Let’s not forget the “German” X3,4,5,6 and 7 are made in South Carolina, the Mercedes GLE, GLS, an C class are made in Alabama, the “Japanese” Lexus RX, Rav 4 and Civic are made in Canada, and most “American” cars have US, Canadian and Mexican components. My last true import before my CX-5, was...

    For those eagerly awaiting Gen 3

    I wonder if the Mazda 3 dash and infotainment could be adapted to the current CX-5 as an interim update? That would really freshen up the interior.

    Poll Did you choose the CX-5 over a German SUV?

    I had a Gen 1 RDX. Liked the size, handling, speed with turbo and reliability. But that model's newest generation had outgrown my garage so I was seriously shopping smaller German models, despite reservations about price and long-term maintenance costs and reliability. Almost reluctantly was...

    CX-5 Concepts at Osaka Automesse

    Did you get a peak inside? Wondering if the dash is following the Mazda 3 design.

    What does 10 lb-ft of torque get you?

    So why did they bother? I don't see it as great advertising hype.

    What does 10 lb-ft of torque get you?

    Curious about the small torque boost in the 2020 turbo. What’s the benefit? Better 0-60, faster off the line? Or ???
