Buried amidst all the hype were several references to batteries in 2019. Mazda will have to produce some sort of hybrid to meet emission standards in certain states with California likely one of those. This is probably part of the newfound love with Toyota. Toyota already has two hybrids that...

For the CX-5, this is actually huge. It instantly puts it in the best MPG for a crossover, at least until everyone copies it, namely Toyota in the RAV4. One of my gripes about the CX-5 is too many visits to the gas station and this or the diesel helps that. I don't really have major issues...

Would the arrival of AA/Car Play count as one of the miracles?

Wut?

I am serious about an alternative to the CX-5, if I find the right one, but here I was trying to test an hypothesis. So, a little of both.

I should probably shorten and restate my primary premise(s). 1. People are buying crossovers because they better fit their needs than a sedan. 2. The difference between the 6 and the CX-5 are there, but not dramatic, at least to this Mazda owner, so why get a 6? 3. The sales process of...

Considering that Toyota's profit is roughly the same as Mazda's total revenue I can understand the confusion. Probably not a good sign for AA/CarPlay though. You should read on the s*** that Toyota is doing with the new Camry. The closer they get the worser that will get.

In the crossover, no one, several do it at the sedan level now (both 2018's from Toyota and Honda, for example). It's longer than that but it's not a hard commute by any stretch. I did 4 hours round trip for a few months. That was awful. But, in these parts, 15 miles can be an hour or...

In a way this is a response to a thread on the CX-5 thread, but, this thread started the line of thinking and it fits here, even if it's a bit of a necro. I have a commute, that because of family issues and work, I sometimes drive 7-days/week. Almost always 6. The commute comes in 3 flavors...

It's not that bad. It's just a crossover. We got a lot of personalities in this segment across the brands. I do think the new CX-5 is better but I like the older version better than the 2017. Also, the HR-V looks a lot like the CX-5 from some angles.

It did OK in the USA with a slight year over year increase. Overall for the month Mazda is down. Man, the 6 is a dog in the sales department.

I saw somewhere that Mazda thinks we'll be driving combustion engines in 2050*. I'd say they are betting the company. * I hope it wasn't this thread where I saw it. :)

When I test drove them both I thought the CR-V was a bit faster but it wasn't a huge difference. The CX-5, for me, doesn't really have any problems at 65 or at low speeds, it's in-between that it can be a bit tough. For example, merging on the freeway. I thought the CR-V was louder, both in...

I think that's a good description of my CX-5. When I was test-driving sedans and would get into my 2015 after, it was a pretty stark contrast. Stunning, almost! You get used to all of the bumps, bounces and jarring but the moment you ride in something else it becomes really apparent. The...

The Accord will have one this year. I wouldn't be at all surprised to seed a HUD on the CR-V in the 2018 or 19 model. Or you can also buy a 6 and get one stacked on the dash. Man, those things are going at deep discounts.

It's on the Mazdausa.com website. It must have just gone up. It wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. The financing is still the 36-month whoop-di-do.

Both Carjojo and TrueCar are showing significant discounts from where they were before: 28.5K TC and 28K for Carjojo on a GT. I'm not sure what's going on that's different but those numbers are pretty much 1K less than before. If those numbers don't include a loyalty bonus, my teeter just...

Colors are hard with the 2017 CX-5. There's no way that red can deal with dust, same with black, dark blue and the metallic gray, especially the gray. The Silver is really shiny. I miss the older silver. This leaves white and blue. I already have a government job so white is out. That...

No regerts, man! Get that Tesla Model X, instead. Buy what you really want your money is no object. The premium package is a turd if you don't live in the cold.

HUD isn't worth $1.800.
