    Is leather seats worth it?

    Very easy to clean. I have about 43,000 kms on mine and they still look fairly new. And that's with a family of 6 using it, so lots of climbing in/out/over/through :)

    New Guy, got a 2012 Mazda 5 this week!

    With 4 kids, a minivan was pretty much the only option. Wasn't sure about the 5 at first but with a cargo box, it ended up packing more stuff than the '04 Kia Sedona I traded in for it.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Just bought a new stereo off eBay plus a dash removal tool kit to help with the process when it arrives. Will post pictures when it is in. First time doing something like this so those pictures may be a little AFTER it arrives :)

    New Mazda 5 owner! :D

    I have both the CX-5 and 5 and find the suspension a little less choppy on the 5. My wife has named the CX-5 (since she drives it most) but I refuse to name my car :)

    Considering a CX-5 as my first Mazda. Worth waiting til 2015 model?

    I would expect that since the CX-5 is a fairly new model, there will only be minor changes done to it for 2015 and it won't start showing up until next summer. I have a 2013 AWD GT with tech package and love it. Havent' had any problems

    Switching DRL to high beam?

    I'm surprised the DRL setup is using the regular headlights. My '12 uses the high beams but on a lower voltage. I thought that was standard practice in Canada if park lights/LEDs weren't being used

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    2010 Mazda 3. More room, better features, better fuel economy since my 3 was before Skyactiv, better stability in the snow.

    Dealer Changed Financing from Mazda Direct to Capital One

    The advertised rate that Mazda promotes is always through a lender. They usually have a preferred lender they like to use, but Mazda does not have their own crediting service. That's not a bad thing since they tend to offer better rates than say Honda, which has its own credit service.

    New to the forum and new to Mazda

    I believe that is only on the 2.0L engine, which is now only available on the base trim levels, at least here in Canada. As soon as you start going up in levels, you get the 2.5L engine.

    2012 GT or keep a 2008 CX-9 sport

    I drove a CX-9 (2012 model year) when we were looking to trade in our 3. Friends of ours were getting one at a really good deal. We ended up getting a 2013 CX-5 instead a couple months later. After taking some time to think things through and ignore the "great deal" being offered, I realized I...
