I bought my CX-5 from Sil-TerHar in Broomfield Colorado on May 31st, last day of the month, a Friday night, and after emailing and working the phones I showed up at 6pm to close the deal. When I arrived we started doing paperwork while the car was being transported. While doing the paperwork...

Don't be too quick to celebrate those accident results. When I totaled my Honda Fit in March of this year, it was a relatively slow speed and simple accident. I'm still a little shocked that I did so much damage at < 50 mph, probably even 30 mph. What I've realized at this point is that cars...

I think those numbers sound pretty good to me as-is. You can check my price (with details) earlier in this thread for the Sky Blue Touring AWD I bought on May 31st. I think you're price above is a couple hundred lower then that. I would suggest to all of you who are shopping via email: call...

You can explore the Waze traffic capabilities online using a web based livemap here: https://www.waze.com/livemap/ Towards the end of my stay in the Washington DC area, there were many occasions where I wanted to take a highway onramp and go somewhere via that highway, but I would actually...

I'm completely satisfied with the speakers in my 2014 Touring. As others have said, there is almost too much bass. This satisfaction was a nice surprise: When you have the option of the Bose system, it suggests you will miss something. While I don't doubt the Bose is better, I don't miss it...

Thanks, that's just what I wanted to see. It's a lot bigger than my mind imagined it to be: about 2/3s the horizontal space instead of 1/2. Hmmmm

High Altitude CX-5 Old Fall River Road, Rocky Mountain National Park. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, you're going to leave the road often.

My two test drives with a CX-5 manual transmission were great. I loved the manual and it helps the CX-5 feel more like a car than an SUV. Having said that, even if the manual is pulled directly from your MX-5, it's still a crossover and not a car. So, drive it for yourself and expect a really...

THANKS! That picture is exactly what I wanted to know. Based on this information I think my approach for a serious road trip might be to pull the stock spare and re-use that space for whatever items I want to bring but don't reasonably expect to use. Not really sure what that would be right...

There is a noticeable difference between the 2.0L Sport engine and the 2.5L Touring engine. But it is not night-and-day difference: it's not a one is bad and the other is good comparision. I chose my words carefully in one of my original reviews that the 2.0L is good, but the 2.5L is just...

I think -- at least out here in outdoor-centric Colorado -- roof rails add value to the car. Without them, you're driving a street car. With them, you've got potential for outdoor fun. Add crossbars so you're ready to put storage boxes, bike racks and ski racks on, and your car is respected...

Hey thanks for posting this! That's really cool to see. I think this kind of comparison is really important for car shoppers. You should take what you have now and use what you like about it as a baseline for what you want in the future. For example, you probably don't need 300 HP just...

I had a 2007 Honda Fit with 109HP. They redesigned the car for 2009 and made some significant changes to it. Some changes like a dead pedal, legroom and a telescoping steering wheel were good but most of the reviews I read suggested that the drive feel was nowhere near as good as the 2006-2008...

What you write here is absolutely spot-on. Except you left out the fact that with a Miata next to it the Honda Fit LOOKS like a shrunken mini van as well. Never liked that. BUT, I think I lost you when I mentioned the phrase "Go Kart by Honda". I wasn't trying to compare it to a Miata or...

Hi Ed, Thanks for reading! I have the stock stereo that's part of the Touring package. I really don't expect its that much different from the Sport, but it's definitely not the Bose. Sound quality is excellent. The touch screen interface is also more friendly and comfortable than I...

Touring FWD $24,615. Destination Fee $795 Bose $1,130 Tech $1485 White $200 Total $28,225. Does your $26,500 include destination fee? Regardless, you got a good deal. Nice job with the email and end of month tactics, that sets a great example for others thinking of buying.

Hello! Well it's been exactly one month since I bought my 2014 Mazda CX5 and I thought I'd update the lurkers on what I've observed. (This is a long post aimed at shoppers considering the purchase of a new CX-5. See my other "Review" threads for past information and ask me anything.)...

I've been using a Gomadic suction cup mount since 2009 for a lot of travel. It's now in my CX-5 and works great. I use the suction cup to mount it on the windshield but the kit I bought includes a sandbag-style, weighted platform that can sit on top of the dash. I mout this above the dash so...

"I live in the North of France and I try to get me the famous roof rails for Mazda CX 5 none of the dealers I asked is capable of controlling. It seems that this vehicle is delivered to USA with original beams placed, so they should be available in the brand without having to resort to Chinese...

You're right, they're BS. Destination charges were probably legit at one point. I think I paid $195 in 1993 on my Honda Civic. I think I also paid an "Advertising fee" of $295 on top of that and probably a Dealer Handling fee on top of that. When I bought my CX-5, I thought, in 2013 the $795...
