    New CX-5 vs. Hail: No Contest

    Keep it and get the CX-5. It's always good to have a "beater" vehicle if you do much off the beaten path. It probably doesn't cost much to keep it, other than liability insurance.

    black cloth interior too hot?

    Yup, same here, always afraid leather would be too hot in Summer, too cold in Winter, too slippery and hard to keep nice, and may crack with age. I'm content with cloth. But, who knows, if I had the right soft leather seats it might be one of those, until you've had it, you don't know what...

    New CX-5 vs. Hail: No Contest

    Yes, I had a Honda Accord that had a good bit of hail damage. These "Dent Dr." people can get most of them out to where you'll never know it happened. Some trim pieces, they may need to replace, but, they can push out the dings, it's pretty amazing. Your insurance should cover it under your...

    Possible incentives/deals for Memorial Day?

    You should always be able to get at least $1,500 below sticker. That should be your ending bid, not your opening bid.

    Possible incentives/deals for Memorial Day?

    I bought mine on the last day of May, last year, and they were bending over backwards to make the deal on that day. The 2016's are already arriving on their lots, so, your better bet is to deal on a 2015, but, on the last day of the month I think you're more likely to get a better deal, even...

    I know, stupid question, but, I can't seem to get the stock wiper blade off, at least not without damaging it. Is there some trick to get to the release??

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Oil and filter change at the dealer, for some reason they gave me a 2nd free oil change. I'm not complaining :-) This is supposedly what they used: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007G7PWYY/?tag=m20b7-20

    Automakers to gearheads: Stop repairing cars

    When I hear of people modding their vehicles, adding blowers and exhaust that breath easier, etc... I do sometimes think they're playing with fire, that the engineers put that combination of things together for a reason. But, I'm not that engine savy to know how to make things better, and what...

    3 Year Ownership Check In

    Didn't get the Mazda Nav, because it's Tom-Tom based, which from what I hear, pretty much stinks. We have Garmin LM40 (The LM is Lifetime Maps) in both our vehicles, they seem to do a good job, and pretty inexpensive.

    Consumer Reports Talking Cars about Mazda (incl. CX-5)

    My best and worse car were both Ford. Worse car I ever owned: 87 Ford Tempo, after 4 or 5 years, it was like a new car, in that I think I'd pretty much replaced everything in it!! :-) Best Car I've owned so far: 1995 Ford Taurus, I gave it to my daughter at somewhere over 230,000 miles and I...

    CX-5 Photos - Share your shots with us!

    I always give the dealer a choice: don't put any of your branding on my vehicle, not even a dealer license plate cover, or take an additional $500 off to have me advertise for you. So far, they've always left the branding off, they've never taken the extra $500 off, guess they don't want to...
