    What other cars did you look at before getting your CX-5?

    We looked at the NX as well... great quality but couldn't get past the styling and the tiny cargo area. Didn't even test drive it.

    Leasing

    Just realized you are local to me... Look at Mazda of Orange, that's where we got our CX5 last December. I can get you in touch with our sales person there... She was great. Send me a PM if you are interested.

    Leasing

    I don't set foot in a dealership until I have an online deal worked out. We just bought our M2 last weekend... I had about 12 dealers working on deals for me. I drove 150 miles to get the best deal and a car that had no test drive miles. I have done this for the last 5 cars we bought. I keep...

    Leasing

    This is spot on. Also, to add to it a bit, some cars lease very well (our old i3 for example - huge incentives and state/federal rebates). My last 2 cars, a 2016 Audi SQ5 and my current 2018 BMW M2 had horrible lease numbers, so we purchased both of these. Never checked on our CX5 as we knew...

    Leasing

    We've leased 2 BMW's, a 2013 X5 Diesel and a 2015 i3...as long as you take reasonable care of them, you will owe nothing as far as wear and tear. As CX-5um said, tires are a big thing, but more so on German cars than most Japanese cars due to their aggressive camber. Our CX5 tires are wearing...

    What Other Cars Do You Have Beside Your CX-5?

    I just sold my completely stock 2017 GTI Sport two weeks ago...for the money, the GTI is hard to beat as far as an all around good performer. Coming off of 15 years of AWD cars (2003 WRX, 2013 WRX, & 2016 Audi SQ5), I can tell you that for the MK7 GTI, FWD is it's downfall. It does a great job...

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    I wouldn't have thought that style of wheel would fit the CX-5 but they look fantastic! Nice job spec'ing them out!

    What Other Cars Do You Have Beside Your CX-5?

    Considering the quality of the late 90's Audi's, your car is a miracle. That body style still looks great today though. I always wanted an M car... I've had some pretty serous health issues over the past year and the wife said just do it. Never argue with the wife!

    Beautiful cars...I had a 2001 A4 1.8T...had nothing but problems with it and sold it after less than a year and became a Subaru WRX guy for the next 10 years. You need to be proud of going 240K on your 97!

    Any non-engine related reasons to wait on 2019?

    My 2017 GTI (which I just sold this past weekend) had an AC vent in the glove box. Neat feature but never actually used it.

    What other cars did you look at before getting your CX-5?

    For us, it was really only a 2017 Subaru Forester XT. We actually had a deal penciled in on one but my wife wanted to drive a CX5 before we pulled the trigger. The only issue she had with the Subie was the flat front seats. The test drive of the CX5 revealed a MUCH better interior than the...

    What product are you guys using to protect the black plastic molding?

    Aerospace 303...provides a nice semi gloss appearance. I use it on the tires as well.
