    Automatic trans can be shifted manually, correct?

    Yes you can shift manually, but in the snow and ice the AWD does a great job by itself.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Personally I think you did very well. That is about 10% of MSRP right?

    Anyone have experience with a convertible car seat for baby?

    Thank you again! Those pictures are super helpful. By chance, did you try putting the car seats in the middle? If so, how did it go? I apologize for so many questions but you are a life saver. :-)

    Anyone have experience with a convertible car seat for baby?

    Thank you Sushi, your post was very helpful! I'm reading the article now. Any luck with the pics? I like the idea of ergonomics of the Britax model since the nextfit was super deep. Do you think the marathon model is the best value?

    Navigation screen

    That was my first thought as well. Looks like a "swish mark" or water mark and is highly annoying. BUT it could be physical damage based on the description.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Stupid question: Do these quotes include destination charge? Or is that part of TTL?

    Anyone have experience with a convertible car seat for baby?

    Hi everyone, Our little one is getting ready to out grow her infant car seat and move on to a convertible car seat. My wife and I have a 2016 and 2017 and were looking for opinions that would work for both cars. Has anyone here recently used one? If so what fit comfortably for you as the driver...

    A year later, still averaging 20 MPG on 2018 GT AWD Mazda CX-5. Is that normal?

    I have a 2017 and it mostly gets the stated numbers. Maybe off 1 MPG give or take. It could be a number of various factors for your car. Try to eliminate the obvious causes first: 1) Check to see that all your tires a properly inflated as per the door jam rating 2) Try "babying" the car. Drive...

    Noises and squeaks

    My apologies for resurrecting this thread, but I would like to post an update regarding my 2017. I took it to the dealer last week and it appears my fears were founded. The creaking while accelerating is not due to weather, rubbing of interior parts, screws in the steering column, or anything...

    2017/18 Real World MPG

    My numbers were based off of a full tank to empty tank average. I take my miles driven for said tank and divide it by actual gallons going into the car from the pump. For the most part it seems to match up with my trip computer. :shrug:

    Snow Removal/Start..Stop button.

    I have 2017 and no problems with the start button. Also, since I worry about scratches I use this for the snow: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X1CQHGN/?tag=m20b7-20 I can't speak highly enough about it. I had it for over a year now and doesn't leave a single scratch.

    Noises and squeaks

    Yep. First thing I checked. Also made sure the sub-woofer was firmly secured.

    Noises and squeaks

    I agree there is a price to pay for early adoption, especially with a new model year. However, my 2017 was one of the later ones built (I think the build date was July) and not first off the line. I've noticed that most of my squeaks and rattles happen in cold weather. Every once in a blue...

    Once again, thank you so much Metro. I really appreciate all your effort. I'm going to try this first thing when I get home.

    Noises and squeaks

    Metro! You are my hero. Any chance you could take a picture of what you are describing? I'm trying to wrap my head around your description and I'm not sure I fully understand. Thank you so much.

    How Much Does It Bug You That You Can't Use The Touchscreen While Driving?

    Not at all. I don't like smudges on my screen. Commander knob is fine for navigating.

    Noises and squeaks

    *Sigh* I have the same problem. I also have a 2017 CX-5 GT and ever since it got cold I've noticed more squeaks, rattles, and noises. My biggest gremlin right now is that I have a creaking sound when I accelerate (depress the gas pedal while driving). The best description is it sounds like a...
