    electronic e-brake malfunction

    This is why I will be buying my 2015 Touring at the end of it's lease period. I prefer a real emergency brake that I control.

    Mazda on 2nd place?

    We've been married for 46 years, and out of all the vehicles we have had the CX-5 is my wife's favorite. Mine also, for that matter. The handling, the way the engine and transmission work so well together, and of course the steering.

    Window Vent

    These aftermarket plastic Side Window Deflectors that are put on the doors. Are they effective at ventilation? What about noise when the window is open? I don't mean really open, just an inch or two.

    My CD player starts where it was when I restart the car without doing anything. My USB used to restart at the beginning until I had the TSB for that problem done.

    Colorado Blizzard

    Even though I live in NC, I do go to Ohio fairly often, year-round. I do not like the headlights cover freezing with the LED's, especially since they are plastic, which I would imagine would get scratched from cleaning off ice. Nor do I like electric parking brakes, or the skinny console...

    New CX-5 Owner

    You're not missing anything. There is a shortage of storage space. Hope it will be corrected at the next major re-do. I use a thumb drive for most of my music, or MP3 CD's I have burned. You can get around 10 regular CD's on one MP3 disc. I have a CD holder that will hold 24 CD's, so that's...

    "Break in" period?

    Yeah braking. I'm always amazed when a traffic light turns yellow, and I immediately let up on the gas, and coast to a more sedate speed, then gently brake, yet some yahoo fly's by me, in the next lane, and jams on their brakes. The same thing happens on the Interstates. There'll be a whole...

    Auto-Tune

    When using the auto-tune feature to get a lineup of local stations they always are not in numerical order. All the other cars I have owned would be like, 88.9, 90.7, 99.7, 100.4, etc. Not this one, there is no rhyme or reason to the stations that are selected. Any thoughts out there...

    "Break in" period?

    I'm 75, and have never done anything with a new car except to just drive it. Full acceleration at times, same speed on interstates with hardly any variance. Have never had a problem with any car.

    CX-5 Performance Stages

    9.0 seconds seems rather slow when every test of a 2015 2.5 touring I have seen has been around 7.8, and even AWD times have been close to that figure.

    Undecided: CX-5 vs Escape/Edge

    0 to 60 in 7.7 seconds in the 2.5 seems plenty fast to me, especially considering the mpg of the CX5. My 2013 2.0 averaged 29 mpg over 35,000 miles, my 2015 2.5 is currently at an average over 14,000 miles of 28.0.

    Displeased with mileage

    I have kept track of mileage on my last 5 cars. On this one I added a column for the dash mpg readout, and average them both out. Over 39 fill ups, my pump mpg average is 28.0, while the dash mpg is 27.79. To me this is a negligible difference.

    2016 Headrest Causing Intense Neck Pain

    I wonder if the people who are bothered by the headrest are siting with the seat back in a more upright position.
