    Live traffic for navigation

    Not true...it's just different from what we are used to with Garmin & other on-board traffic Navi's. I took my '17 in to Mazda as I felt I needed my Nav updated (I did - the car was on the lot for months b4 I bought it so wanted refresh & made a difference). Sirius has NOTHING to do with the...

    Known PROBLEMS with CX5s?

    Great ride! I agree with Dougal. We also have 2017 GT in silver. No complaints at all. Have 3800 miles on it & have taken 4 day trips from CT to PA & NY. On one trip, our 6'4" friend said he was very comfy in the rear seat & our 6'2" son said same. Not sure why some are saying this car is not...

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    Xeler8ing requested Sonic Silver photos so here are a few of my 2017 CX-5 AWD GT Premium. I find it not very metallic-looking but it's parked in the shade & I barely drive it so maybe it'll look more so in the sun. I'll post a photo in the sun when the sun is back as we're having storms for a...

    New 2017 CX-5 Revealed

    Found it right on the same spot where you pull down the seats but really surprised as the seats barely recline. Maybe 2"? Better than nothing...lol

    Rear seat belt lands across older kids necks! Help!

    I know all of this. I'm the grandmother and the one day my grandsons rode in my new car, their boosters seats were in the old car that their dad had borrowed from me. Murphy's Law...All is fine and I continue to use the old car when I have my grandsons...Tks!

    Rear seat belt lands across older kids necks! Help!

    Please people! My fault for not being concise. I DO have 2 booster seats! The older sibling just can't fit into it as he's grown wide (obese) from taking steroids as part of his treatment for childhood leukemia. (he started thin when diagnosed but the steroids caused extreme weight gain & his...

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    agree with you 100%. We bought the '17 Sonic Silver and I'm still scratching my head as in our driveway, next to our Liquid Platinum (silver) Infinity G37x, it look gray...Had I realized this would be the case, I would have gone with the dark gray but we have no garage and I worried it would...

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    I realize this post is months old, but wanted to share that we just bought a '17 CX5 in Sonic Silver & imo it's a blah grey color & not silver! (We park it next to hubby's '09 G37x Infiniti that's Liquid Platinum & THAT looks silver. The Sonic Silver is a dull gray to my eyes. On the good side...

    Rear seat belt lands across older kids necks! Help!

    Hi! RE 2017 CX5 GT Prem. When my 6 & 8 year old grandsons (both very tall for their age) belted themselves in yesterday, both shoulder belts ended up across their upper necks which is not only dangerous, but uncomfortable. I didn't have the 6 year old's booster seat at the time, but that isn't...

    New 2017 CX-5 Revealed

    2017 Rear seats recline? I don't see an answer to your question & I'm here also looking for same. I have the 2017 & the rear seats don't seem to recline. I guess I'll get the owner's manual out again. Car is a week old so still learning! First Mazda!

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Take it! You'd be insane not to. We just paid over MSRP for same car! We apparently got screwed! Sonic Silver 2017 CX-5 GT AWD Premium

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Not sure if you saw my update, but we paid $550 and got the wrong remote. Here's what they installed: Is this what you got?

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    We leased a 2017 CX5 AWD GT Premium in Sonic Silver Metallic 5 days ago & paid $34,460.84 (includes $940 fees). The window sticker MSRP was $33,465 (includes $940 fees) so that's a $765 difference that I can't figure out now that I'm looking again! More confusing is that our leasing paperwork...

    About to Get CX-5 GT AWD, Looking for advice

    So you would allow them to take your car "down the street" to some 3rd party installer who would put remote into OEM key fob? I think that's what they plan on doing, but without telling me. I'm just scared to have another shop fooling with the engine after Mazda fooled with it putting this...

    About to Get CX-5 GT AWD, Looking for advice

    Here's why they didn't show the picture - they know no one would want it! It's new for 2017 as a "fix" due to customers complaints that the old one (that is stylish at least) didn't reach far enough : The one you posted is for the 2014 CX5 if you go back up to the heading, you can see 2014...

    About to Get CX-5 GT AWD, Looking for advice

    This is what they installed. It's NOT what they said they were installing. They said they were installing the remote wiring into my OEM fob. They DID show me this one and everyone in the service area laughed (me too) at it because it's so old school & cheap looking/feeling, but this is THE NEW...

    About to Get CX-5 GT AWD, Looking for advice

    FYI - A different remote starter from what I was shown this am was installed so I can't tell you anything until they uninstall it & put correct one in. However, what the "right one" is remains to be seen as even the dealership seems confused, depending on who was talking. So I'll check back...
