My first CX-5 had 17" wheels-tires , my second and third CX-5 had 19" wheels-tires. Now I am again driving a CX-5 w/17" wheels-tires. I've enjoyed driving both the 17" and 19" but the handling and comfort of the 17" size seems to be especially good.

My previous CX-5 did not have these cargo area vents but my 2024 CX-5 does.. If you know what their function is and, or the starting model year for these vents please reply to this thread. Thanks.
I owned and drove a 1984 manual transmission Toyota Supra (fun-to-drive sports car) and 25 years ago enjoyed driving my wife's Honda Civic.

No lease. I wrote a check for $11,000.
For me the higher trim levels were not especially relevant:
For example my 2016 CX-5 GT had 17" wheels so I knew I liked that wheel size just fine.
The moon roof on my previous CX-5 GT's I never used.
The electric cargo lift gate might be a safety issue for...
Thanks for your reply, but I am specifically interested in whether the $4,700 extra for Premium trim level holds its value. In other words, 2 or 3 years from now will a pre-owned Premium be worth $3 or $4 thousand more than a Select?

Hello Mazda boys and girls
For the past 8 years my family has enjoyed owning and driving CX-5' including 2016 GT, a 2019 GT, a 2021 GT and a 2021 GT Premium Package. Today I am trading in the 2021 GT and will buy either a Select, Preferred, or Premium.

I've driven with1st generation (2016) and 2nd generation (2019 and 2021) CX-5 seats.
