    On the fence...CX-5 20” wheels vs 19”

    My first CX-5 had 17" wheels-tires , my second and third CX-5 had 19" wheels-tires. Now I am again driving a CX-5 w/17" wheels-tires. I've enjoyed driving both the 17" and 19" but the handling and comfort of the 17" size seems to be especially good.

    If your wife has an Apple phone, has she tried receiving Sirius radio thru the CarPlay application?

    Wife wants Satellite Radio (2021 CX-5)

    My guess is that Sirius decreased the amount of dollars the company is willing to pay Mazda, so in turn Mazda decided to equip the Sirius antenna only on Premium , Premium Plus, and Signature trim levels.

    Which 2024 CX-5 Trim level to buy today?

    I owned and drove a 1984 manual transmission Toyota Supra (fun-to-drive sports car) and 25 years ago enjoyed driving my wife's Honda Civic. 8 years ago, before buying my first CX-5, I did test drive the Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4. For me the drive handling of both models was too soft, sluggish.

    Which 2024 CX-5 Trim level to buy today?

    Last time I looked (approximately 5 years ago) within the USA Toyota and Honda each had about a 15% market share while Mazda had about a 3% market share. I am not sure why Mazda has 5X less market share because when I test drove a Honda CR-V and a Toyota Rav 4 versus a Mazda CX-5, for me the...

    Which 2024 CX-5 Trim level to buy today?

    No lease. I wrote a check for $11,000. For me the higher trim levels were not especially relevant: For example my 2016 CX-5 GT had 17" wheels so I knew I liked that wheel size just fine. The moon roof on my previous CX-5 GT's I never used. The electric cargo lift gate might be a safety issue for...

    Which 2024 CX-5 Trim level to buy today?

    Thanks for your reply, but I am specifically interested in whether the $4,700 extra for Premium trim level holds its value. In other words, 2 or 3 years from now will a pre-owned Premium be worth $3 or $4 thousand more than a Select? I have traded-in three different GT CX-5's and found the $4K...

    Has anyone had their seat foam altered?

    I've driven with1st generation (2016) and 2nd generation (2019 and 2021) CX-5 seats. My take is the 2016 seats were significantly firmer, which is a good thing because after a year or more of use the firm seats remain firm and supportive. The 2nd generation CX-5 seats are not bad, they're just...

    2022 CX-5?

    Seats appear to be the same. I believe the primary difference between the '21 and '22 model year is a change to the front grill trim pieces.

    Poll Based on looks alone - CX-50 or CX-5

    CX-50 reminds me of Subaru, designed for off road driving or for those who want to pose as an off road driver.
