    new skyactive 2.5liter gas engine

    It'd kinda be ashame to see the 2.5 arrive. I've come to think of our little engine as sorta making the car, much as the rotary "made" the RX-8 what it was. There's just something so mischeviously fun and satisfying about doing so much with so "little." The car IS sporty already (to me anyway)...

    Positive Feedback

    I haven't noticed that much negativity, though as always keep in mind that forums will generally get more posts about the 1% of problems rather than the 99% of "my car ran fine today" experiences. I'm only at 650 miles with mine, but I've had no problems. In fact, I lurked on this forum for...

    Interior noises - Touring FWD

    Neat! Glad it helped :) I wish there was a more centralized source for CX-5 TSBs, but I haven't found any sites yet :(

    Tips for getting the best MPG

    LOL so true, and yet because of it, I also find myself occasionally taking a longer route home just to try and get that MPG figure higher... cuz ya know, 29.9 is just not acceptable lol!

    Updating TomTom

    Same exact problem here. Says "this map cannot be used with this device USA_Canada-629" on the TomTom screen, and if I expand the map in my software on the computer it says "this item cannot be used on this device because it needs to be activated first." I shoulda just left well enough alone :(...

    What's your current Mileage?

    Delivery just over a week ago, 600 miles already as I keep finding excuses to drive it, and I was anxious to get past break-in so I could relax a little about varying the revs, etc. :) Averaging 30-32 mpg, mixed commuting driving. No concerns or problems or worries so far (knocks on wood)...

    Anyone have the remote start, rear backup sensors or tow hitch option?

    I see the cost of the Mazda OEM starter is $525 when building a car, but does anyone know the total cost to have one installed after delivery?

    Things we love about our CX-5's

    I love that too, I keep joking about it being a chameleon, lol. A couple other delights that surprised me: 1) That little burst of acceleration you get pulling out from a stoplight, even when barely touching the throttle. After all the "it's underpowered!" reviews, that really surprised me. It...

    Factory Remote Start with Tech/Bose Package

    My dealership didn't mention any problems when I inquired about having it installed in a few months.

    Gear Change Delay

    Haven't noticed a delay. Maybe take it back to the dealer to have them check it? At least then you/they can compare it to another CX-5...

    2013 Ford Escape Recall

    Awl I think they're kinda neat, but still... considering two recalls for fire dangers, I don't think I'll be parking any too close to one :)

    CARGO NET and CARGO TRAY

    Thanks! Just what I needed to know :) I'm getting it then!

    CARGO NET and CARGO TRAY

    That's what I'm wondering too? I'm trying to decide between the mat and tray. Which is better at preventing grocery bags from sliding around back there? I prefer the look of the carpet mat, but if the tray works much better I''ll consider it instead ;)

    New owner obligatory review :)

    Trying to remember (I'm away from my manual at the moment), but something like push SETUP button on your center console, then VEHICLE... look for LIGHTING... towards bottom I think is an option for AUTOLIGHTS. You can pick from LIGHT through DARK.

    new skyactive 2.5liter gas engine

    It's still rumor as far as I know, but possible. I debated waiting for it, but I am SO glad I didn't wait as I've been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the current 2.0. Even if the 2.5 was available today, I'd still get the 2.0 unless the 2.5 offered the same MPGs at the same price.

    Colours

    Same here. I never intended to buy gray, but I kept seeing the them on the lot while looking at other CX-5's and eventually I realized if that's the color I keep starimg at, I really should bring one home. I know it's a cliche to say, but it really is a color you have to see in person.

    New owner obligatory review :)

    Well keep in mind I reset the AVG MPG once I was done playing around with it the first day or so, lol. It actually dropped to around 19 mpg for awhile there, but I was playing with the manual mode, testing it's acceleration up hills, testing the AWD grip from a stop in the rain, etc. So I then...

    New owner obligatory review :)

    Nope, "just" the Touring :) GT's are becoming pretty rare on lots it seems. I've seen a few, but they're vastly outnumbered by Tourings around here (Philadelphia area).
