    Questions after test driving 2017 CX-5 and CRV

    Tks - years ago we had an Audi A6 Quattro that was 50-50 awd all the time & watching this video reminded me of how easy the Audi did in all conditions in the snow. I assume the Mazda must be similar, using all the wheels..

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

    I guess you don't walk with clothing that lacks deep pockets! If you call being 65 & having no garage "spoiled" because I just want answers ahead, then so be it. I have no kid to go out & start my car (& never had them do that when they were around) I was looking for clarity as salesman didn't...

    Questions after test driving 2017 CX-5 and CRV

    Thank you for clarifying! I am not even considering Honda. I'm ready to buy the CX5 once a few more questions are answered & I really like knowing that we might be able to "take it home for a day". That would help me find the sweet spot for my back, if there is one. We would be buying the AWD GT...

    Thank you! That's why I'm here! Not doing anything on purchase until I do more research! I'm also not paying monthly fee so MMS is out. I'll carry 2 fobs & deal with that! Tks again!

    Did dealer install your aftermarket remote? The salesman only showed me 1 fob for their aftermarket remote start yesterday and it had a key on it as I recall. I wonder if something has changed lately? If not, then he really fooled me good as I left with the impression that the remote and key...

    Thanks for sharing this info as trying to decide whether to go with MMS or dealer-installed FOB remote (they failed to mention this adds a 2nd fob)

    Pre-Purchase questions?

    Hi! I'm taking my spouse back to see/test drive a 2017 CX-5 AWD Premium that I tested yesterday & really liked. I'm not sure where to post questions & wonder if there is a thread for those so I don't hijack the purpose of the forum which seems to be for after purchase? (I read for 4 hours last...

    Questions after test driving 2017 CX-5 and CRV

    This film is lacking in details & I'm a 65 yr old female about to buy a '17 CX-5 AWD! Did all cars have same tires (I think they did). Who produced the tests to prevent bias? Was the AWD switch "on" in the Subaru & Honda? I no nothing re AWD in Subaru/Hond but if they have an AWD switch, & if...

    Questions after test driving 2017 CX-5 and CRV

    Hi - new here & thinking of buying a CX5 (AWD Premium w/remote start) but would like to know why you mention "short trips" as I would be taking long trips as well. What is your reasoning the CX5 is not for those? Lack of comfort? Fuel usage? Tks as going back today with hubby so he can see one...

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

    It's interesting to hear that 2 fobs are required with aftermarket remote start! Salesman said there are "3 choices" for dealership remote start install & showed me the "easiest" one in his office. I asked if it were an aftermarket FOB & he sort of said "no". It did have Mazda badging but I felt...
