    Two things holding me back

    Pressure for all makes to improve is a good thing. However, here's my take on the CR-V vs. CX-5 debate (I've driven both): The Honda brings to the table some nice things (so does Mazda (e.g., the HUD and a power passenger seat that's height adjustable)). But, those things came with a price...

    Two things holding me back

    This guy Mango again? He makes statements that show he doesn't know jack sh#t about logically defensible statements. I'm not even going to go into the statistical confounds of self-report bias, small ns, etc. Next...

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    Except that you forget about the mirror mounted turn signals that all 2017 CX-5s have. This feature does a great job of mitigating this issue, while allowing the CX-5 to have cool central turn signals.

    missing features

    "Heated steering wheel and rear seats as well as windshield wiper de-icer are rarely used by a half of the US customers. MADD/HUD is unique and expensive, but most US customers have never used this feature and they don't feel the need of wanting one!" Yrwei: What sampling technique did you use...

    Yeah, some folks make the assumption that the eternal blue us almost identical to reflex blue. It's darker, has more depth, and really pops in the sun!

    Took lunch at work....ended up coming back with a 2017 CX-5 GT

    Kellic: I don't think you've been asked this before. Is your CX-5 AWD or FWD? What do you think of its responsiveness? Thanks!

    Reviews Monday for 2017s?

    Okay, troll! I'll bite this morning, but only because you asked so nicely. See my responses in bold. You can buy a heating steering wheel as an option. I think its $300. Fact check: Try $433 + plus an activation switch + installation. What about rear heated seats? You can't get one at any...

    2017 Impressions, Noise Comparison and Our New 2016 GT

    Overall, the CX-5 loses none of its handling, deals with the added weight with no problems, adds a lot of refinement, and doesn't feel like it was either rushed to market or fell victim to bean counters. In comparison, the new CR-V feels like a rushed half-assed product. Sorry Red! Advantage: Mazda!

    Test Drove a 2017 GT FWD this afternoon!

    I found it to be much-improved in the 2017. The boot time, responsiveness to commands, etc., seem much better than those of the 2016 CX-5 and that of the annoyingly-laggy system on the 2017 CR-V.

    Gorgeous car! Kellic, since you have a shot of the Mazda Connect screen, I have a question that I wasn't able to check on my test drives. What version of the infotainment firmware is your new CX-5 running? Thanks. I mentioned this in my review that I noticed that responsiveness of the user...
