    How is Prius handling compared with CX5's?

    Agreed. ( That's kinda like car suicide for an enthusiast, lol. ) I've driven 2 different Prius's (current gen) several hundred miles, pretty dull but adequate experiences with great MPG.

    Drove the cx-3. We are buying one

    No problem, when you sell it in Northern CA, you will get most of the AWD price premium back since demand in that market is there.

    I Hate My CX-5

    Yes, trade-in value on a high mileage Touring (versus private sale of GT tech pkg with 15K annual mileage) is another thing... Dealer will gladly take it for cheap as a trade.

    Traded in my MY15 for an MY16 and ended up with a grand in my pocket...

    I've seen the roof strength test results, but this sure proves it. I'm glad you are ok, certainly a dangerous way to a grand in pocket.

    Wow, great early report on CX-3. I'm fully expecting this to be a huge hit for Mazda.

    I Hate My CX-5

    Hollis - Good point about the resale value of the CX-5. Resale value was high last July when I sold my 2013 GT, and today the same GT's are still holding value well.

    Direct injection carbon buildup on intake valves could be thing of the past

    Yes, clean diesels are expensive and complicated. Clean gasoline engines are less so. Europe's reliance on diesels in small passenger cars has a price. I do not expect significant diesel passenger car growth in U.S. Americans tend to be reluctant to pay the big price premium for the...

    Direct injection carbon buildup on intake valves could be thing of the past

    D has issue (as described, yes that's an issue not shared by G), and so do other DPFequipped diesels.

    I Hate My CX-5

    Yes, sold it last summer to a relative. Do I miss it? Not much. I do miss occasionally the utility of a compact SUV, but not much else. My remaining vehicles at home are fine for now.

    I Hate My CX-5

    NinjaNoises - We know about the hate, jk. But now that you've sold the CX-5 2.0L manual, do you miss it?

    See: NinjaNoise's original post. But yep, I get it.

    I Hate My CX-5

    Not likely to be a good bet. And not nearly as clean/legal from emissions standpoint too. Mazda did more engineering than that fortunately (versus engineering in garage using outdated low powered 2002 powertrain). Per the OP (and me too after 30K miles), the 2.0L at 155 hp is barely adequate...

    I Hate My CX-5

    Fuel efficiency is the consumer-oriented result of the technology. I recorded 25-31 mpg in 30K miles from a CX-5 GT 2.0L being a 3400 pound AWD SUV equipped with latest lux and safety features and that mileage is way better than anything available a decade ago.
