    Blizzard hitting Mid-Atlantic..CX5 is ready

    I am just outside DC (Rockville, Montgomery County). We're forcasted for 24-30". That would definitely be the most snow I've ever seen, and I lived through the Blizzard of '96 and Snowmageddon 2010. As for the CX-5: Got an oil change yesterday and full tank of gas. That said I will be...

    2016.5 v. 2016 Grand Touring

    That will pay for your first 2 tanks of gas! (drive)

    How does CX-5 compare to Lexus NX?

    Have you test driven them? No one can predict how you will perceive each vehicle's road noise and comfort. Obviously, you are on a Mazda forum. The owners who post here will have already decided that road noise/comfort were adequate for their needs, or they would not have purchased the car.

    Request to call Mazda Corp: For Live Traffic

    Complaints fall on deaf ears. In not so many words, the response I'm getting is, "We're never to offer this feature, get over it."

    Mazda CX-4 / 6 possibly?

    Why? What segment does the CX-3 serve, then? That would be a total of 4 hatchback/crossovers (3 Hatch, CX-3, CX-4, CX-4) and 1 full size SUV (CX-9) in their fleet. Seems to scratch an itch that isn't there? Bring back the pick-up! :) It looks nice enough, though.

    Request to call Mazda Corp: For Live Traffic

    Here is a response I got: Dear Mr. XXXXXX, I apologize for the frustration that this may be causing you but I can assure you that a no time has Mazda advertised Live Traffic as an available feature found in the 2016 Mazda CX-5. If you would like, we can file a complaint against Gxxxxxx Mazda...

    CX-5 over a Forester?

    I would politely disagree. :) Of course, that is my personal preference when comparing features that are most important to me such as user interface, comfort, driving dynamics, and aesthetics. Perhaps posting why or what features you prefer in the Forrester over the CX-5 would be more...

    CX-5 over a Forester?

    I would definitely try one out with a carseat if I were you. Our passenger's seat has to be almost all the way forward to fit our rear-facing carseat. My wife is short so it doesn't affect us much, but for tall people I could foresee it being a problem.

    E-mail sent. Definitely irked that this advertised feature is not working on my new car.

    Experience with my new CX-5 so far

    Sounds like an issue with your dealer's service department. If they had fixed the issue on the first try, would it have changed your opinion? At least they are replacing it, and not giving you the runaround trying to get out of it.

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    Yep, they just replace that one piece around the screen. No big deal, dealer switched mine out in 15 minutes.

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    Sorry, I was referring to the bubbling dash panel around the infotainment screen. Mine looked very similar to the photo posted above. Got mine replaced under warranty. No issues with the new one so far.

    CX-5 rates dead last in Motorweek Compact SUV comparison

    We tested 7 cars during our buying process. We did not test the Rav4. Obviously, the CX-5 won since I am here posting on the CX-5 forum. It just had a great "feeling" and driveability. I am honestly surprised at their comments regarding the driveability. The CR-V was our second choice, but...

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    I had the same problem, and got it replaced under warranty. It took 2 weeks for my dealer to get the part in, and 15 minutes to install it. EDIT; Hmmm...quote didn't work. My post refers to the bubbling panel around the infotainment screen.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I used kbb.com as my reference invoice price. I got my 2016 Soul Red GT w/ Tech Pkg. for $1510 below kbb.com invoice (Chase financing for 3 months [so essentially cash], no other incentives, end of month negotiation). This comes out to $2,548 below MSRP before TTL. I am in the DC metro area.
