    Looking into CX-5 for replacement for my Mazda3

    The cx5 is the smallest cuv in its class. Seems space is important to you.

    Mazda 2.5 gasoline engine and high octane fuel

    Let me preface this post by saying that I was a skeptic when people posted that the CX-5 performed "better" with high octane fuel when used in a non-modified engine. So I sent a message to Mazda North America regarding the use of high octane fuel in the North American 2.5l 13:1 compression...

    So long CX5...

    Is this your justification for the way you are behaving here? There is no need to be offended, and you don't have to justify why you think the CX-5 is better in XYZ category. We know you prefer it over the competition, it is the reason why you bought one. Copying and posting specs just makes...

    AWD vs FWD for "enthusiast" driving

    So what are the benefits, in your own words. I'm not asking you to sell me on it, just tell me what sold you on AWD.

    Sport gear mode on 2016 Cx5

    It's normal. It wasn't designed for highway use. Unless you want to needlessly burn more gas.

    What about a forester or escape turbo? How do they compare?

    Maybe moving to CX5 from V6 sedan- seeking comment on acceleration ?

    I have a v6 accord, the cx5 is slower, but the cx5 is very responsive and the transmission shifts faster. So it feels very peppy.

    Room for biggish dog in Cargo area? (Seats up)

    My 95lb lab shares the back seat with a car seat. Plenty of room for a dog. The cx5 is the smallest vehicle in its class. Both the RAV4 and crv have more room.

    Experience with dirt for sand leather interior - I have a dog & I drink coffee!

    We have a 95 lb yellow lab with the light interior. The dog sits in the back seat on this cover. The cover stays put fairly well for a large dog jumping in and out of it. No issues so far, car is about 1 year old. I vacuum the seats every few months, but the cover doesn't allow the dirt to...

    After drive my dad's new X5, my cx5 is feel like driving a tractor on the road

    Small displacement diesels are dead in the US. A recent publication I read showed that not a single manufacturer of small diesels met their emissions in real world driving. It will be interesting to see if tesla can deliver on the promises of the model 3. That will begin a new revolution in...

    After drive my dad's new X5, my cx5 is feel like driving a tractor on the road

    No one buys a BMW for reliability. Everyone here is applying the logical choices that goes into buying a Mazda to a BMW. BMW is doing just fine, they outsell Lexus every year (the reliability king...)

    AWD vs FWD for "enthusiast" driving

    Yes, it is more than sufficient. If you notice the folks that favor AWD in the snow are solely concerned with moving. No one considers the drastic improvement in braking and cornering with snow tires. AWD with all seasons won't stop or corner any faster than FWD with all seasons. To my point...
