Yes, EBD, VSC, BA, TC and ABS all have impact and are integrated with brake systems in latest and best vehicles today.

What department was the ignorant employee in? A salesperson? Yes, you would think they recommend the fuel that Mazda recommends for the CX-5.

Yes, all CX-5's in good condition in general have above average resale values contributing to a low cost of ownership (low depreciation). I did not advertise my CX-5. Since I was using mostly the other 3 vehicles in my household in 2014, I let family members know I was considering selling...

Sold my 2013 2.0L GT at end of July with 30K miles. No problems to report, original Toyo tires were about 1/2 worn. MPG was fairly consistant at about 26-27 in city/suburban driving and 30 mpg freeway (70-80 mph). Buyer purposely wanted a GT awd with the 2.0L, she wanted the extra fuel...

Not likely, I usually wait for next gen versions for the more significant changes. Chris_Top_Her certainly is getting his new project going....

Congrats on the 2015 2.5L. Almost everybody seems to enjoy the extra power and better sound quality of the bigger engine.

Thoughts? Nice huge profit margin. Overpriced (nearly 2x even with tire rotation in highest cost coastal areas of US) due to service that is not required or recommended by Mazda. Refer to Mazda CX-5 owners manual which lists required service items.

Not sure if they were talking about Tranny being a slang term used chiefly to describe people...

No, I have doubts about reliability and maintenance costs (and those concerns apply to all clean diesels today), not to mention purchase price premium.

Mazda said 2.2 diesel meets Euro 6 regs without after treatment. I expect the US version will too, assuming they resolve "driveability issues" as reported by Left Lane.

A tranny prob in red light district, yeah that could happen... But I thought we were talking about Mazda CX-5, so the transmisson issues are rare.

So what did dealer say?

Never had tranny problem with early build (Feb.2012) model year, drove it for 30K miles.

Chris_top_her - Congrats on new 2.5L GT, way to go. How about your H&R springs?

SayNotoPistons - Nice comparison, based on some real seat time in both versions. Should be helpful to shoppers of both new and used CX-5's. As you said well regarding the 2.5L (vs. 2.0L), "No fear of getting your s*** pushed in when passing at 50mph into a lane going 60+mph. It will not...

It was very subtle on my 2013 2.0L.

In about 2 1/2 years of ownership, 30K miles, driving mostly in south bay, mpg was 26.3 for me. Freeway trips at 70-80 mph averaged 30 mpg. That's with a 2.0L awd version.

Nice color. Looking forward to your driving comparison (being an enthusiast) of 2013 2.0L vs. 2015 2.5L.

After coming to a stop at a stop light and sitting, tranny is completely disengaged to save gas. If you lift off the brake pedal slightly you can feel it re-engage so that it's ready to creep or accelerate as needed, that might be the little bump you are feeling (I certainly could feel it).

Fortunately I enjoyed Duran Duran.
