Yeah, not much of a discount available on the 19 CX-5 GT or Sigs at the moment but as you said, that will change later in the year. I do think they will very shortly be discounting the 6. Sedans arent selling right now so watch the dealer inventory. Most of those 6 Signatures will still be...

Regarding lag....Im really referring to throttle lag when taking off from a stop. My E90 had a lag, the Audi A4 with their DCT has awful lag. The VW GLI also has bad throttle lag from a stop. I believe the primary culprit is not the turbo but torque management. And initial starts from a stop...

This is our first ever Mazda. I like the direction they are heading. I also like what Ive seen/heard about the upcoming 3. AWD and a tad more room-Im interested. I like the design of he 6 and generally the way it drives, but it too needs an AWD version. And if they ever decided to make a...

Thanks! We love it. Perfect size for our family. Drives really well all around.

One thing Ive learned that I absolutely hate about many modern cars with automatic transmissions (especially those with turbo motor) is throttle lag. Its a major factor in how much I will enjoy my car. My former 2014 Ford Explorer Sport had a twin turbo motor that had no lag and also felt like...

To me, the really great thing about the Turbo motor is that it DOES NOT feel like a turbo motor. Very linear pull. Feels like a naturally aspirated V6. I like it and feel its perfectly suited to the CX-5. The power band does seem a little flat when you wind it out but my guess is the higher...

Bought a Signature today. Machine gray. $1,000 discount off sticker Middle of Kelly Blue Book good range for my trade in Not exactly the greatest deal Ive ever negotiated on a car but the supply of Signatures (and in machine gray) are few and far between. Dealer actually got the vehicle from...

Machine gray. Drove it around town tonight and think it really will fit the bill. It wont be my primary vehicle but I will enjoy driving it. The steering ratio seems like its actually tighter than my old E90 xdrive.

If you are trading in a vehicle, there is risk in ordering a car and waiting. If anything were to happen to your trade in before you take delivery of your new vehicle, you are screwed on that part of the deal. Thats why Im not going to order. Ill just wait until it hits the dealership and...

Appreciate the replies folks. I thought about it more overnight and decided that I am not going to negotiate now for a vehicle I wont take delivery of for an unknown period of time. Im just not comfortable with that. Ill communicate back to the dealer later this morning that Im willing to do...

Im in negotiations with a local Central Ohio dealer now for a 19 Signature. She said the car is currently in Washington and should be at their dealership in a few weeks. Is that a reasonable amount of time? Im really curious as to why it would take weeks before the dealer would get this car if...

The 2019 Tuscan Limited and Ultimate ditches the DCT in favor of a conventional torque converter automatic transmission. Its paired with a 2.4L NA four cylinder that makes similar power to the NA Mazda 2.5L.

I plan to test drive a new 2019 Hyundai Tuscan Limited or Ultimate this week. Far cheaper than the CX-5 and Im sure it will drive differently but it may also serve our purposes nicely. Anyone else test driven the Tuscan?

I liked it. So did my wife. Now if the dealer was just willing to do less than sticker, :-) But that's another story. Everything about it was smooth. Throttle response was excellent - no turbo lag whatsoever. Reminds me of a reasonably powered naturally aspirated V6. Great torque but does...
