It's possible I missed it, but I went through every single menu layer of the TomTom, and I couldn't find an option to turn it off :(

Anyone know what the Remote Starter should cost (labor and parts) if installed AFTER delivery?

Yea, they've been a bit unpredictable. They came on once when I was just driving under some shade trees on a cloudy but bright day, which seemed TOO sensitive. But then later when it started raining and it was darker/cloudy they didn't come on. I'll keep experimenting, I could be doing...

Purchased my Metro Gray AWD Touring Tech saturday and couldn't be more pleased: Commuting to work is seeing 34.8 mpg. That's just astonishing for a 3,400 pound AWD trucklette, lol. First I gotta say this "underpowered" thing reviews mention is crazy. I held off buying one so long because I...

Jolting feeling? Can you describe that further?

Finally got mine! AWD, Touring, Bose and Tech. Oh my is this little crossover fun! Big thanks to everyone for putting up with my zillion questions, lol...

Well petrol for me, as that's my only option here in the states for the moment, but I am crious about diesel as well. I've read and watched a couple reviews recently where they went about 450 miles on a (petrol) tank, which is impressive! Of course that was basically running it until empty...

How many miles do you typically go before needing to fill up again? I realize some people wait for the light to come on, while others fill up at 1/4 tank, but just curious what I could expect on average?

I can't find the web page, but I read an interview once with one of the Mazda engineers involved with SKYACTIV, and he mentioned that "in theory," using premium in the US-spec SKYACTIV-G 2.0 should give a small torque/power increase. I realize that isn't usually the case with most engines, and...

And what do you think of your Puddle Jumper's (love that!) power now that you've owned it for awhile? Knowing what you know now, would you buy it again? And congrats... she's beautiful!

I've been wondering about how it works. A lot of reviews complain about how it takes a lot of pedal pressure to get it to downshift. I experienced that too on my test drive. I was wondering if it learns after awhile that the driver is trying to provoke downshifts, and then downshifts with less...

Agreed, the 2.0 might be a little less than desired, but the 189 hp 2.5 is a bit too much (for me). Still, I'm surprised how well the little 2.0 does considering the hp/weight ratio thing. It's 0-60 (9.4ish) is about the same as many compact cars, including the Civic, Elantra and Cruze. Yet no...

LOL, yes on my test drive my friend kept yelling at me to slow down as I didn't realize how fast I was going. I think because it's so much quieter than I'm used to, and sitting up high, my speed judgement is way off ;) But thanks everyone, good to hear it's pretty stable. miki69's wind...

I occasionally take road trips where I cruise along at 72 mph or so for hours at a time. Is it easy to maintain speeds like that in 6th gear on flat ground? Does it sound like it's struggling? Is it easy to stay within one's lane at speed, or do you find that light crosswinds make things...

The only thing I've ever found are a bunch of youtube videos, mostly european or russian, showing people playing with the CX-5 in snow and dirt. I don't understand AWD systems so it means little to me, but maybe to someone who knows what to look for it might be educational? They show one wheel...

Well that's where I'm stuck. Reviews and non-owners often want more power for passing and hills, but it seems like most owners say it does just fine for them in real life... that the reviews are misleading. It's confusing. After more than an hour in test drives, it seemed reasonable to me, but I...

Well there you go! You waited until you got the perfect MPG car ;) For what it's worth, I haven't purchased yet, and I could wait a few years if I had to, and yet I'm still leaning towards the current CX-5. If the 2.0 is *enough*, then I'd rather have the couple extra MPGs. I also don't want to...

As for the mileage penalty of the 2.5G, http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1208_2014_mazda6_first_look/ says about the Mazda6: "The 2.0-liter engine produces 148 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque... this engine will return the equivalent of 39 to 40 mpg combined. The larger 2.5-liter engine...

Yes. Or well at least the new Mazda6 is going to have a SKYACTIV 2.5G option, so we're assuming that's the one going into the CX-5 as well. Still, it's all rumor at this point. We know the diesel is probably coming since the CX-5 diesel actually exists in other countries. But the 2.5G CX-5...

I found the Mazda press release which mentions: "The SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine offers maximum torque of 210 Nm / 4,000 rpm and maximum output of 110 kW / 6,000 rpm. The SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter engine, deployed for the first time in the new Mazda6, offers a maximum torque of 256 Nm / 3,250 rpm...
