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

    sorry, I've given up. Spent an hour trying to figure it out. Even saw instructions and they are like a foreign language to me. Went to all the trouble of taking photos and thought I could share them easily. Drat!

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

    My cx5 is a 2017. The 2018 is not out and you can't even order one yet...We would have if possible. The 2018 won't be out until 2018 (just like the 2017 came out in spring 2017) Go figure!

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

    We bought a 2017 CX5 GT Premium on Sat. Paid for remote. Told it was Mazda factory-made..yada yada. Took car in today for install and because there is soooo much conflicting info online and at each dealership (!) I asked them to describe what I was getting. They said it would be a small piece...

    Pre-Purchase questions?

    Tks so much! We leased a 2017 Silver CX5 Premium on Sat! Never leased before; always pd cash but it seems the thing to do if unsure about anything, especially my lousy back! (I did find a stretchy band brace & used it today for short drive to dealership 20 mins away & seemed to help a bit!)...

    Drove 'em all, going with CX-5

    jhu8 - Knee bag coverage is just knee airbags that many new cars have (The Buick Encore has add'l knee airbags for both driver & passenger). Yes, I do have bluetooth in my "dumb" cell phone. We leased a 2017 CX-5 GT Premium on Sat & it's very nice. I taught myself the NAV & even paired my old...

    How to turn radio off in 2017 CX-5 GT Premium?

    Tks all! Mute it is then! But I was a bit miffed when I got car back after remote starter install today because once on the highway, when I pushed the mute button, my channel I had been listening to (60's) had been changed to loud rap type music. I couldn't change it as I not yet good at all...

    Pre-Purchase questions?

    Tks Iwannacx5! We bought a silver 2017 CX5 GT Premium & I really like it. Coming from a small sedan, it's a bit large but I'll get used to it! We actually leased this time as so unsure about it at first, but at least I can trade it in for another color in 3 years! Does sound like a keeper! -Lynn

    2017 CX-5 Navigation

    We just bought our 2017 CX-5 GT Premium & the Nav doesn't have "live traffic". Not sure what "traffic conditions" is that you are seeing. But anything greyed out, is a feature you don't have. But why would Mazda have that showing up if even the top GT Premium trim/pkg doesn't have what I call...

    2017~2025 Kongka Cargo Cover

    Hi - we just bought the 2017 CX5 & u just confirmed that I'm not crazy as I know I read the rear seats recline a bit in the GT Premium which is what we bought. But when we got home with the car I couldn't see how to recline them. How do you recline them please? Tks!

    2017~2025 Kongka Cargo Cover

    OEM cover for $195 at your dealer? Wow! Today I was quoted "about $285" while waiting to get remote starter installed. I liked the cargo cover but $250?

    How to turn radio off in 2017 CX-5 GT Premium?

    New car yesterday & read manual but no mention of how to turn OFF (Bose) audio. For now, I've found the mute knob & wonder if that's all one can do?

    Drove 'em all, going with CX-5

    Yeah, my salesman told me the CX-5 has knee bag coverage (it doesn't) so don't believe them about the AA (whatever that is - I'm going to research it) I have an older cell phone so I don't need bluetooth or whatever the AA does. I'm retired so just need my old cell for emergency purposes...or if...

    Drove 'em all, going with CX-5

    I don't have same requirements as you, but we too are senior couple & almost bought a 2017 Buick Encore AWD Premium. -has heated steering wheel. (I have no clue what Andoid is as I don't have a "smart phone" (hubby does) IF you don't need AWD, then you should take a look at the Encore. It's...

    Pre-Purchase questions?

    tks to all who answered! I'm good now! No white & will get dealer-installed remote start and carry 2 fobs! Just need to decide on color but looking like silver which I'm so tired of but works when you don't have a garage so might as well stick with that..

    2017 Mazda CX5 - America's Best Crossover

    I'm chomping at the bit to get my husband over to our local dealer for his test drive! (I liked mine a lot) Been looking for a replacement car for myself for a long time but always came up empty (most recently the seriously underpowered 2017 Buick Encore AWD Premium (just 138 HP!) The 2017 CX-5...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    My hubby & I suck at haggling/making deals so it's shocking to see the discounted prices people are getting! We have to speak up! I'm wondering why you are waiting until the end of Aug? Pls share as we are in no huge rush but don't want to have to buy a color we don't want/can't use due to no...

    . Congrats! Enjoy it! (do you have a garage? I like the gray but worry about dirt with no garage) Salesman (southwest CT) said approx $32K for same car you bought! Maybe we need to drive west!

    Questions after test driving 2017 CX-5 and CRV

    . Our 1999 Audi A-6 Quattro was 50/50 too and never had a problem in the snow. Not sure how they make quattro now, but I've read that it changed..I guess more intuitive rather than 50-50 all the time..
