Chris_top_her - Thanks. I'll try to keep checking-in to see what the latest mods are on your CX-5. Note: my commuter car is more frumpy than the 2015 Mirage, lol. Dad of jon - Thanks. Always good to have your perspective from the UK, (My last visit to north Yorkshire area was many years...

Thanks. Yes, mazdas247.com has been a great resource for me as owner of a CX-5. I really appreciated the info specific to our vehicle. btw - What did Mike say?

And my followup post: Sold the 2013 CX-5 last Sunday to a close family member that needed to replace here used-up Subie Outback. She really wanted all the lux and safety features included with the GT/tech package and like the color combo too. So my CX-5 has gone to good home. It will be...

Thank you very much RG_flyer. Best of luck with your automotive searches.

Same here, looking forward to seeing those 20's on CX-5.

Yes, I have 2 premium sport sedans that are considerably quicker than CX-5 (both the 2.0L and 2.5L) and 1 boring commuter car. But I will miss having a nice SUV/crossover type of vehicle, even if I rarely use it's capabilities. The high seating position in traffic is a big plus. Not sure...

Yes, my CX-5 will be missed even if I wasn't driving it much lately, a very solid vehicle and well-engineered vehicle. That's why I did not hesitate to sell to family member that needed this kind of vehicle to replace her Subie Outback. She actually uses the SUV/AWD capacity and capability...

None today. It was an extra vehicle.

And in California, "chain controls"/chaining-up can be avoided with AWD/4WD, that's a huge plus here for frequent travelers into high Sierra mountains.

No replacement vehicle needed at this time. 3 vehicles in household currently.

My 2013 CX5 GT is history as of yesterday/Sunday. I sold it to a close relative that really needed it, her Subie Outback with 189K miles is well past its prime. She needs the AWD (has Lake Tahoe second home) and loves the leather, nav, Bose, BSM, HIDs, etc. She's a happy camper!

I washed my CX-5. Then I sold it yesterday/Sunday to a close family member. Her Subie Outback with 189K miles is at end of road.

Agreed, CX-5 is optimized for fuel efficiency, with good handling and comfort. A lightly optioned mid-sized SUV/crossover is a better choice for towing heavier setups.

I'm not concerned with oil usage (since none has observed) between changes on my Skyactiv Mazda 2.0L, confidence level is very good. But then I haven't had to add oil between changes for last 2+ decades with various Mazda, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes engines. I have observed some...

No kidding, many thousands of dollar later a Buick can be had (not to mention the high rate of depreciation in first couple years with that on top of it)....

Standard DRL's are pretty well designed for the purpose of daytime safety. Headlights (versus DRL's) have no useful benefit. And having rear taillights on in the daytime might reduce safety due to reduced contrast with brake lights, not a safety disadvantage I would want. The safety...

No. Mine gets filled/topped off at every oil change.
