    Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 225 55r19

    I had a set of P7's installed a few days ago. The original Toyo's lasted about 40k miles for me.

    New 2014 GT CX-5 hard seats?

    I personally love the seats. Yes, they are firmer than most, but are very supportive for long trips.

    Are there 2 A/C Indicators with Auto Temp Control?

    Thanks. It would make more sense if one indicator showed when the A/C compressor was engaged, but I guess that would confuse most people.

    Anyone have tan Weathertechs?

    Yes, those are the ones. I don't understand why they chose such a stinky material. Lol - melted a skunk into the rubber - that describes the smell pretty accurately.

    Anyone have tan Weathertechs?

    The Lloyd mats arrived this week. While I like the way they look and how heavy they feel, they smell really bad!! So bad that I haven't put them in the car yet. I personally like the way tire rubber smells, but these things smell like pencil eraser rubber (or worse). I put them in a room on...

    2013 CX-5 2.0L, thinking about upgrade to 2014 CX-5 2.5L

    Good points. I agree that first year depreciation can be pretty severe. Unfortunately, I have found it very difficult to find the perfect 1 year old car with a 20-30% discount. Also when something is that new, I begin to get concerened that something is wrong with it unless it is a...

    2013 CX-5 2.0L, thinking about upgrade to 2014 CX-5 2.5L

    Never said I traded a CX-5 for a CX-5. I just used my example to show that a cx5 shouldn't lose $6k in less than a year when the vehicle I just traded lost only $11k in 5 years.

    2013 CX-5 2.0L, thinking about upgrade to 2014 CX-5 2.5L

    I don't mind providing additional information. The truck I traded was a 2007 Dodge diesel. When I purchased it in October 2007, I got a really good deal as it had been sitting on the lot for over a year. The CX-5 I purchased was $400 below MSRP and the dealership had no doc fees, add-ons, etc...

    2013 CX-5 2.0L, thinking about upgrade to 2014 CX-5 2.5L

    I was pleased with the trade value of my truck... I was referring to another poster who suggested that a 2013 CX5 that went for $26k new would probably bring just $20k if traded in now with 10k miles. While that may be the case, that depreciation seems pretty steep, even for a new vehicle.

    2013 CX-5 2.0L, thinking about upgrade to 2014 CX-5 2.5L

    That is pretty bad. I just traded a 5 year old truck with 60k miles that I paid $31k for (new) and got $20k on trade. I hope these CX-5s hold their value better than that.

    Are there 2 A/C Indicators with Auto Temp Control?

    I've had my CX-5 a little over a month now and am still trying to figure out how AC works with Auto Temp Control. Every time I press Auto, the A/C LED and the A/C indicator in the LCD screen comes on (regardless of outside temperature). Then if I press the A/C button they both go off. And if...

    CX-5 Fuel economy

    I have found that this CX-5 is more sensitive to speed than some of the other vehicles I have owned. It gets around 33 mpg at 65mph, but can drop to as low as 24 mpg at 80 mph. For comparison, my Escape V6 ranges from 20-23 mpg for these speeds. (These figures are from the computer)

    Where are they???

    I haven't seen another since I purchased mine on 11/1. Before then I'd only seen 2 on the road. In comparison, I have seen at least 20 new Escapes.

    Anyone have tan Weathertechs?

    Nevermind. I ordered a set of Lloyd custom fit rubber mats in ivory. I know they're not as heavy duty as the weathertechs, but should be good enough for occasional muddy boots, etc. Plus I think the color will match better and they are about half price.

    Anyone have tan Weathertechs?

    I am wondering how well the tan Weathertechs will match the sand interior? I was getting ready to order a set, but thought I would check here first. I think black looks fine, but I have noticed that the black OEM mats are very difficult to keep clean and would like something that shows a...

    POLL, are you happy with the power of your engine

    I'm not going to win many races, but I knew that going into it. I have been quite surprised at its grade-pulling capability. I am able to maintain 60 mph in 4th on grades that would have my Escape V6 screaming in 2nd at the same speed. The Mazda may be down on horsepower compared to the...
