I don*t see it working like that for several reasons. 1. A 4-year cycle for the current CX-5 gen is too short. 2. Mazda isnt going to take a year off from inching the CX-5 toward luxury. The infotainment suite is the most glaring non-luxury feature on the 2019, and it*s hardly a major...

I think they could change the dash to integrate a newer Mazda3 sized screen rather easily. It*s really no more complicated or intrusive than the changes they made for the Sig. If I were shopping for a new CX-5, I*d probably wait until the 2020 changes start leaking around August.

Car companies need to see the issue show up in a certain percentage of their cars before offering a recall like you describe. Even though a software fix is effectively *free,* Mazda will lose a ton of money when 150k customers descend upon dealers and suck up labor. That*s why Mazda, like any...

I think the odds are low that owners are going to get stuck paying for any rocker arm fixes after warranty. This would in no way dissuade me from buying a CX-5 with CD.

This is sounding more and more like a troll account aimed at spreading illegitimate concerns about the CX-5.

Here we go again. You sure it*s gas smell?

I was drawn to the style because it*s different, but I was let down with how it drove (V6 version). Very sluggish and *big* feeling. Interior material quality is bad, but pretty typical for a US brand. Was sad to cross it off my list. Frankly, given the ridiculous asking price, polarizing...

The talk of sub-$30k for a GTR is aspirational. No ones really offering those kinds of discounts from what I can tell. No reason to expect more than around 10% off in my opinion.

Couldnt agree more. Im stuck in NoVA hell just for work.

Ive had this happen as a fluke on a Toyota and BMW before. I chalked it up to some weird sequence of events and button pushes. Never happened twice on the same car.

I dont understand your take. I was replying to your suggestion that dealers have no incentive to discount lower end models. Yet you cite 12+ on new model years and 17-22 on late model years, which Im saying are better or equal to the discount people are getting on upper trims.

I dunno man. The poster got 12.2% off MSRP. That beats the discount in terms of percentage and dollars that almost everyone is posting on GT/GTR/Sig.

Do you insist on a hard copy? Because its all here: https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/2017/cx5/howto.html Shades can be purchased via your local dealer, or any Mazda dealer that sells accessories online. You could also try your luck on eBay, but make sure youre buying OEM.

Great find!

You sure its a gas smell and not just a shop chemical smell? The CX-5 is known to have a relatively pungent shop smell when its brand new and its nothing to worry about, its just the coatings/lubricants wearing in. There are a lot of reasons for engine clicking at low speeds and many aren't...

I agree with this. I can see a near future where it turns out these batteries dont have the longevity that was expected, causing their used market to crater, and leaving tens of thousands of owners faced with a $10k charge for a new battery or $3k charge for someone to take it away. And then...

Disagree about not jiving. Having 5 trims is almost certainly not the end game and probably a symptom of their transition. As Mazda creeps up, theyll probably start cutting these base level trims that dont jive with the new luxury brand. So in that sense, turbo would result in all/most of the...

Dont worry about any of that crap you read on the forum. No car is perfect, but a lot of reviews say the CX-5 is as close as it gets for the price. Buy and enjoy!

Exactly. Not uncommon at all for two cars with near-equal acceleration times to feel very different.

?? An insurance company polling a mere 1,000 drivers is not that intriguing. What does the student newspaper say? Ill trust my position based on how many last-gen Rav4 were sold.
