    Who is still loving their CX-5?

    My 2014 Mazda3 (2.0L) gets around 35mpg highway (65-70mph). I can get 40mpg but it MUST stay 60-65MPH. I am opposite of you, I want to sell my Mazda3 and get a CX-5. I need the AWD, ground clearance, and storage capacity.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Mazda has been getting great press but Mazda has always been a "small" car company. Compared to Toyota, Mazda sells a very low volume of cars to the US market. YTD sales for USA Toyota = 1,450,000 vehicles sold in US YTD sales for USA Mazda = 186,000 vehicles sold in US (boom05) With that...

    Mazda Mobil start VS Viper smart start?

    With the MMS does the car turn off after you open the door? I hope not because that is annoying. The car should keep running as long as you have the FOB in your pocket.

    Factory Order or Dealer Lot Purchase

    Looks like it will be a special order. Any of the dealers I contacted ALL of them have add-ons and other expenses that I don't want. Plus like you said, some idiot might have gone WOT on a cold engine test drive. That drives me nuts when someone takes a new car and fires it up, sticks it in...

    2015 Mazda CX-5 Touring Long-Term Verdict Review (Motor Trend)

    Mazda tweaked it for better ride and handling but I don't have the specifics on it. What I do know is that sound insulation was added in some areas to help with wind and road noise.

    How does one find out about what the INVOICE pricing is? So it looks like people are paying around $500 - $1,000 BELOW invoice?

    Factory Order or Dealer Lot Purchase

    One dealer I talked to on a Grand Touring had a $34,760.00 MSRP and the dealer said they would take -$1,604.00 off = $33,156.00 BUT then the dealer had these "add-ons" to the price totaling $1,016: $399.00 Tint $228.00 VIN Etch $389.00 Doc Fee I hate these dealers that do that stupid stuff...

    Ride Quality - 17 vs 19 vs 20 - Feedback

    With the 19" factory OEM rims/tires vs the 17" OEM tires, with tires being equal, the 19" should perform better on corners. The OEM 19" Toyo's weigh 28lbs per tire (720 REVS PER MILE) and surprisingly the 17" OEM tires are 27lbs per tire (729 REVS PER MILE) If you go with a 19" ECO-tire like...

    Factory Order or Dealer Lot Purchase

    I am having a hard time finding the right option/color CX-5 and the one I did find has a "tramp stamp" (dealer logo on tailgate) and a bunch of dealer add-ons (window tint, VIN etch, etc) that I don't want. Is it possible to just custom order by CX-5 with the options I want? If so, what is the...

    Zaino does make some awesome car protection products. I always use the Z5 car wax. It's synthetic polymers with no carnuba wax.

    Undecided: CX-5 vs Escape/Edge

    I decided that I will get the CX-5. I love my Mazda's and while the CX-5 is not as "fast" as the Ford Edge with turbo. The CX-5 gets great reviews and places #1 on most CUV reviews. The Ford may be faster but I don't want to be dealing with turbo problems later on. Naturally aspirated engines...

    What Options To Get?

    If you get the moonroof/sunroof option, can you still get the roof rack or would the bars get in the way of the moonroof glass?

    Almond Interior - Long Term Wear

    No doubt but the parchment/white leather looks so much nicer and is going to be cooler to the touch in summer if it's been sitting in the sun. Drawback is that it requires more cleaning. Is it REAL leather or more of a vinyl/synthetic type of material?

    What Options To Get?

    This remote start option seems better suited for me. Does anything have to be ordered on the car or are all 2016 CX'5s remote start "app capable" ? I wonder with this option if the car will TURN OFF once you get into it. That part I don't like because once inside the car you want to drive away...

    Premium gas

    We will just have to agree to disagree. It's not worth debating over. I leave with this from Motor Trend: If the engine is tuned for regular but fueled with something of higher octane, things are a tad more complex. Most modern knock-sensed ignitions seek MBT timing and thus, at least in...
