I sat in one yesterday for the first time. It was a bit of a disappointment. It's very cramped in the cabin. I too was turned off by the massive center console. Being 6'3", my legs rest against it. The outward visibility seems less than before. The rear seating space is aweful, especially the...
It will be here in June....slow your roll. Everyone killed Mazda for the CX-5 being out nearly a year early every model year. Now they actually release a model year in the calendar year and you kill them for it too. Good grief.
You assume a "soccer mom" sitting in a car at an auto show will sell them immediately. Play with gadgets in the car? Most cars electronics are turned off. Seat access for the kids? Sure, I get that, if the kids are there. And yes, I have kids.
Again, what's the point of sitting in a car you...
I'm not quote sure how you lose customers that on a car that will not be out for another 4 months....Sitting in one in an auto show does not sell it. Never has. Driving it and actually experiencing it does.
The purpose of an auto show is to see what's out, get an idea of what you like and go...
The reason you can't sit in the auto show model is because it is a pre-production unit. No manufacturer ever lets you sit in one.
Once they are out, it will be available to sit in at auto shows.
The 2013 model arrived in late February 2012
The 2014 model arrived in late January 2013
The 2015 model arrived in February 2014
The 2016 model arrived early February 2015
The 2016.5 model arrived late January 2016
The new CX-9 will be a 2016. Expect a late May/early June arrival for the first...
The 2015 inventory is super slim. Here in the North East, only a handful remain. My local dealer has been sold out for 2 months.
Production already started. You will most likely see the car by May. Unless the OP can provide a link to proof of production delay, I wouldn't believe it.
Mazda themselves are pocketing the money. Why do you think their profit margins are so large while their sales have only increased marginally. Do a quick Google search and you will find plenty on how Mazda is concentrating on increasing profits rather then unit sales.
I really don't put faith into many posted purchase prices as I never seem to get them either. I usually use sources like KBB or Edmunds for their fair market value. If I get within that, I'm ok with it.
There will always be someone who paid more then you and someone who paid less.
@Conn
There are no public incentives on 2016 CX-5 right now, your dealer is correct. The $1000 owner loyalty offer was sent out to current Mazda owners as a private incentive. If you did not receive this offer from Mazda, the dealer cannot let you use it. It's not their $1,000 to give.

I have a question for you people who intend on or returned survey's giving a bunch of 2's and 3's.....why did you buy from them in the first place? I would never buy a product of any kind if I was getting treated like a 2 or 3 on a scale of 1-10. Do you have any self respect?
Materials fall short of what Ford? The Focus? Please tell me you are joking...
You do have a Mazda6 Touring...I'm not a fan of the leatherette and would prefer the cloth, but the rest of the interior is very, very well put together.
Honda just updated the 2015 CR-V with some serious equipment and swapped the powertrain for the one in the Accord (2.4L ED w/CVT, 185hp, 181tq) and more importantly, 27/34/29 in regards to MPG's.
Mazda better upgrade the powertrain a bit for 2016 or else Mazda will be #4 in FE instead of #1...
Ok, forget the 2.5L swap. I don't want to do it.
I did find a 2.3L from a Mazda5. Is it the same? I just want to be sure I buy a motor that will fit my 2.3L Mazda3 2007 manual tranny with little to no modifications. Any ideas other than a 2.3L from a Mazda3?
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2007 Mazda3 s GT 5-door, 5-speed manual with a blown motor. I've been searching for a used motor and found a place that is selling JDM 2.3L engines that were installed in JDM Mazda3's. The shop says a few parts need to be swapped from the U.S. version 2.3L to the JDM 2.3L...
