    My Thoughts Driving a 2019 GT

    Junk? Not sure they are that bad. I had a RAM 1500 loaner for a couple of days and boy, that 5.7 V8 was sweeeeeet! I can see why pickup truck peeps are snapping them up.

    2013~2016 Air condition maintenance

    Cabin Filter change as suggested per the owner's manual. Nothing else to do as long as it's blowing cold air.

    My Thoughts Driving a 2019 GT

    The question --- Is my power level adequate? Is obviously a highly subjective one. What someone thinks is adequate, I might suggest is not. What I might suggest is adequate, someone might suggest is overkill, while others might consider even that to be inadequate! There is no right or...

    My Thoughts Driving a 2019 GT

    You don't mention WHEN you had that problematic turbo, but they have come a long way. I had a problem free MINI Cooper S and now a GTR. Neither gave me even a hint of problems (so far) and if you didn't know it was a turbo motor, there'd be no way to tell when driving it. No lag, no whine...

    How much worse can Mazda connect be?

    2019 GTR here. Everything works as advertised, except boot-up takes absolutely forever. I'm a big fan of Waze, so use CarPlay for the vast majority of my driving. I can get a mile down the road before Carplay and Waze are loaded though. I just load Waze on my phone, set a destination...

    My Thoughts Driving a 2019 GT

    Have you driven a GTR or Sig? The power difference is significant and there is no other indication that there's a turbo under the hood. No lag, no turbo whine. I cannot imagine having a CX-5 without one...........

    2017 CX-5 Radar cruise control intermittently disabled below 20mph

    Happened to me once, when snow built up on the front logo, which is where the sensor is. Once I cleaned it off it went right back to working perfectly.

    June Sales - USA

    So sad....... While overall sales are down across the industry, Mazda seems to have taken the biggest hit. https://autoweek.com/article/car-news/new-car-sales-june-2019-winners-and-losers Non-CX-5 numbers are absolutely dismal. Strange considering that most every model receives...

    The ONE thing I hate about my 2019 Signature is....

    Sorry, not true. I just tested it on my GTR. Doors locked. Push tailgate button and it opens right up.

    Mazda want more CX-5 sales in the USA?. Make it a bit wider and longer

    Of course I believe it! That's the whole point of my argument. (burnout)

    Mazda want more CX-5 sales in the USA?. Make it a bit wider and longer

    Well having a higher performance specialized trim level offering (a.k.a like the Edge ST) vs beefing up the GTR or Sig, both in performance and price, is a much more reasonable approach. I look at my GTR as nearly the perfect commuter vehicle and don't see myself on a track with it in the...

    Mazda want more CX-5 sales in the USA?. Make it a bit wider and longer

    Yeah, but you won't be getting it for $34,000............

    Mazda want more CX-5 sales in the USA?. Make it a bit wider and longer

    Strange how we Americans obsess over straight-line power as the sole determining factor for performance. 700hp Hellcats and GT500's are what we are all about. Step back and look at the DIRECT competition for the CX-5 in the mid-$30,000 price range. The reality is that the GTR, @ $33k, is at...

    First service scheduled for 2019 CX-5

    My salesman asked me how many miles I drive annually, then set the first oil change appointment, based on that. It came pretty darn close (5,600), so I kept the appointment as scheduled.
