Mine just started idling rough a couple of days ago. Like the OP says, after its fully warmed up after about 15 minutes of driving. Sitting at a stop light, a few seconds after coming to a complete stop, it does a little shudder every second or so, feeling almost like it wants to stall. Watching...

The last few manuals I've owned (the last was a 2012 MINI Paceman), they screwed with 1st and 2nd gear tuning, dropping the power so that idiots wouldn't dump the clutch and shred up the low gears. And I've heard from numerous drivers that most manufacturers do that now. One car I had tuned that...

Well I'm an old fart, but it wasn't that long ago I was driving MINI's for the fun factor. Gave up a bit of the zig-zag for a Mazda 3 s GT, then just recently traded that for a (2017) CX5. Meanwhile, my wife stepped back into the MINI world with a new Countryman around the same time. I thought...

I had a 3 s GT hatchback before the CX 5 and loved it. I just wanted a little bit more room and AWD, or else I'd have bought another 3. I see them on the road and still miss it. I hear rumors of a possibility of them putting AWD in the 3 in a few years -- that would rock. As for Car Play and...

With about 600 miles on the clock, I'm averaging around 24 mpg through two 'controlled' fillups, while the computer is saying a hair over 25. That's a very equal mix of city and highway.

So after seeing a few critical threads here about our AWD, I thought I'd put mine to the test. My driveway has a decent uphill slope, and it's currently covered with about an inch of fresh wet snow on top of another half-inch of tightly packed and well-frozen base from last week's storm. It's...

If i had to guess, also being in the north east (norther and east-er than you!), I'd say that, because it's been so bitter cold for so long, the wet precipitation fell on ground that was still frozen and created a film of wet ice. Sleet by itself wouldn't be that slick. I've seen dew condense on...

I had the HUD on my 3, but didn't get premium on the CX5, and I kinda miss it. It probably wouldn't make a difference if you never had it, but once you have it, you definitely get spoiled by it. Next Mazda will have it.

I can't tell you what you should do, but I can pretty comfortably say you won't be happy going from a GT to a Sport. I'd ask what kind of deal they can do on a new GT, then see what the payments would be to buy out your 2015 (with and without that extended warranty), and then you'll have some...

They're even worse if you get stuck behind them -- they don't move for sh!t!!!

Congrats! I just got mine this past Wednesday and I'm already thrilled with it.

Maybe I didn't mention my 3 was a lease, and I rolled into a new lease. This started back around June when they offered me a new 3 s GT for the same payment I was currently making. I said gimme a CX-5 GT for the same payment and we'll talk. They couldn't, not even on a leftover '16. They tried...

Black leather. It's wicked cold here right now, so it's a little slippery! Yeah, I see online that it's an option, even on the GT. The more I think about it, the more I'm ok without it. I frequently had to remove the hard shelf from my 3 to carry stuff, so that's one less thing I need to worry...

First dumb question -- does the CX-5 not come with a rear cargo cover?

Anybody in Erie, PA got some good war stories??? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/12/27/erie-pennsylvania-pummeled-by-record-5-feet-of-snow.html

Just one picture so far, and a short drive back to work from picking it up. But I'm already liking it a lot. Got Sirius/XM transferred, plunked in all my old favorites one at a time (I sure wish there was a way to transfer all your preferences from one vehicle to another like when you buy a new...

Well, put down a deposit today, picking up a red 2017 CX-5 GT tomorrow morning. I'm sure I'm gonna miss the giddy-up of the 3, but I'm hoping the quiet and comfy improvements they made in this CX will make up for it. I hope this one treats me as good as the 3 did -- it's been the perfect...

I appreciate the concern, guys, but the point is moot -- if I get the CX, it's gonna be a 2017. :)

I haven't used any other nav's besides my 3 and my iPhone. My only complaint with it is how long it takes to boot when I first start the car, which is when I'm most likely to be entering a destination. Otherwise, I think it works and looks just fine. And my wife likes mine better than hers in...

Hi all, I currently have a '15 Mazda 3s GT that the dealer has been bugging me to trade for about 6 months. I guess they've got some year-end and loyalty incentives going, because they finally quoted me a payment on a red 2017 CX-5 GT that I can live with. This dealer is itching to move cars...
