    Spotted

    Definitely a rare bird. Drove from Baltimore to Boston and back this weekend to bring my daughter up to school and only saw one CX-5, a silver one heading east on the Mass Turnpike about 20-30 miles west of Boston on Monday morning. Took the long way back through Allentown and Harrisburg, PA...

    Fuel mileage gets better

    Will be getting my second fill up today or tomorrow, so I can check the second tank milage, but my computer avg. mileage is at 29.1 and rising. That's probably 50-50 highway/suburbs, but only about 600 miles. I was down to 28.5 but a 60 mile highway round trip on Tuesday boosted it to 29.0. I...

    Spotted

    I've seen a black one a few times (think its the same one) and a white one on York Road north of Towson, MD. Saw a blue or gray one parked around the corner from my house last Friday during the Sneek-a-Peak at Your Seat day at the local elementry school, so hope to see that one again. Will be...

    Anyone know what it would cost to replace the key fob. I havn't lost one yet, but my wife has a history with this sort of thing.

    Simple Elegance

    The styling on the CX-5 is the thing that drew me to it in the first place. The inside is so clean and functional. Somebody on this forum compared the interior to an Apple product that does what it is suppose to do, does it with smooth simple controls, and does it beautifully. This was really...

    Air Intake Selector

    Not sure if this has been asked before, but is the light on the Air Intake Selector button suppose to stay on all the time. Even when the contols are off (fan on zero) the light on the Outside Air button stays lit. Not sure if the Recirculated Air button does the same. This is for the manual...

    What car did you trade in for your CX-5?

    Didn't trade anytihing in. Decided to keep my 2001 PT Cruiser and turn it over to my son who should have his license by the end of the year. I've always liked the car, the styling and the space, but the milage was horrible. I've gotten an immediate 50% increase in mileage with the CX-5. I...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Finally did it. Bought mine on Tuesaday after first seeing one at the Baltimore Auto Show in February and following along on here since March. Mine is a straight up Metro Gray Touring. Almost never used the sun roof in my other car and the regualr stereo is just fine to my ears. Hate to admit...

    Mazda CX-5 Ship Loading Tour in Japan (video)

    The inside of that ship was ridiculously clean. I'd expect it to look more like your typical parking garge, with a little were and tear. I'f you've never seen one of those ships, they are enormous. The Port of Baltimore has two or three large sites where they load and unload the ships and...

    Mazda CX-5 Ship Loading Tour in Japan (video)

    You can find some good reports on that ship incident on line with a little searching. It came up in some thread a few months ago and I looked it up. If I recall, Mazda was so concerend about bad parts getting on the market that they shredded every car. I thnk it was well over 3000 vehicles.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Koons is a big dealer in the Washngton/Baltimore region. Multiple dealerships all over the place. Using E-bay is just another way to advertise.

    Review after 3 days

    Thanks for the dealer info. Fredrick is a little out of my way. I am north of Baltimore and the Towson location of one of the three Heritage Mazda dealers is not too far from me. I pass it just about every day so I can keep up on their inventory. They post some decent Internet Prices...

    Review after 3 days

    Good post. Real reasonable comments. Have not seen too many Maryland folks on here. What dealer did you buy from and how was your experience with them?

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    What kind of experience has anyone had using other buying services? I have access to AutoSMART through my credit union and AAA has a program that is "powered" by TrueCar. Has anyone else used either of these?

    Dealerships

    You might want to see if your local dealer can get the car for you from the other dealer. Not sure how Mazda works, but a few years back when we were buying my wife’s Saturn Outlook, the local dealer found what we wanted at another dealer 150 miles away. We had it the next day. Also if you...

    CX-5 - European crash test best in class - EuroNCAP2012 results released

    The video for the Electronic Stability Control test is also impressive. Is the same ESC part of the US models? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDlqpd-9V8k While no one should ever have to experience the crashes that are tested for, quick maneuvering and swerving happen all the time. I have...
