You know how almost everybody thinks that they are a "good driver." Most people are honest with their fuel mileage. They don't get EPA but they admit up-front that they drive in traffic a lot, speed a lot, don't do any owner maintenance, etc. But there are some people who just can't handle the...

Why do you say that the price is too good? If you check out the price for some of the good deals on this thread, plenty of members are getting that price or below for GT w/ tech....and that's without any trade-in. If you still want a good deal on your CX-5, let me know. But if you want to buy...

That map looks impressive until you zoom in. :) Even if 100% gas cost same as 90%, I wouldn't spend the time to drive in order to save that little money.

Ethanol doesn't have as much energy content as gasoline. A gallon of ethanol just can't get you as far as a gallon of gasoline. Takes more gallons of ethanol to go the same miles. So if you dilute gasoline with ethanol, you get worse MPG. It's too bad ethanol free gasoline is practically...

I sent you a private message about my deal. Unfortunately, paying more upfront doesn't come with any extras. Beasley does have good service department. If you live in Austin, driving 3 hours out isn't always possible. But to save over $2000, sign me up!

CX-5 is a great vehicle in a great package. My wife has over 5000 miles in under 2 months. It's much quieter than the Mazda 3 and gets the same MPG and has +30 horsepower at the same time and you can take it to IKEA, no problems = awesome

You have to consider that the CX-5 invoice is heavily inflated....to make the MSRP look like a better deal. If you follow the CX-5 pricing thread, the GT w/ tech goes for ~$28K. The dealer's are making money at that price. I'm sure because it took little to no work to get an offer like that from...

I already gave you a lead on a much better deal in Central TX. I personally don't think any warranty is worth paying an extra $1500 on your car. The powertrain warranty is already 5 YR/ 60000 Mi....so the "extension" is not really that extended. When/if cars go bad, you normally don't have to...

I tried emailing some AUS dealers. No dice so far :( I have a friend staying in AUS for 6 months soon, maybe try again then.

The 30 HP is worth it (plus the price difference between '13 and '14 was a small when I was getting offers from dealers). 30 hp isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, but when it's vehicle specific it makes a big deal. 30 hp is a 20% bump. Of course, these differences are much more...

Does anyone have better pics of the OEM CX-5 seat covers that Mazda offers in Australia? http://www.mazda.com.au/vehicles/cx-5/accessories Coverking is expensive...but quality is worth paying for.

With only 3000 miles on the odometer, you don't think that you'll get close to what you paid for it?

A +$1000 package on BMW's just for the lights alone. The CX-5 GT w/ tech is one of the most valued packed automotive offerings out there.

If you're shopping in Austin, stop what you're doing. I talked with Beasley, got an offer.....still drove 2 hours to get my car elsewhere and saved over $2000. Anyone in Austin/San Antonio, let me know and we can share referral money.

I know people here on this forum take it for granted and assume that the Mazda is always the "sporty" choice compared to the competition. But when you look at the numbers, it's not really so clear. The Mazda 6 feels noticeably "sportier" when it's the Accord that just as athletic. Some cars...

I don't know what's worse, automotive journalism or comments about automotive journalism? hahaha They should have compared the new Altima instead of the Camry since it's an older model compared to brand new ones from Nissan/Honda/Mazda. It tough to buy into automotive journalism other than for...

In most counties, most of the license fee is legit (inspections, county tax, business tax, temp tag, etc.). Make sure you apply the loyalty rebate before you calculate taxes though. If you check out the last 5-10 pages or so, you'll see that most of the good deals fall within the range that...

I also used stuff like that to get internet quotes. Edmunds, truecar, autotrader.....etc. They don't work. If you want an online quote, directly email the sales departments at the dealerships you want quotes from. Every dealer has dedicated internet sales people. If they don't give you...

1. Overtaking is good. The auto has a sport mode where you can choose which gear it goes. Not as good as a true manual, but you can't get the 2.5 L with a stick. And very few people choose to get stick anyways. 185 hp is more than most on the road. 2. FWD handles well in the wet. AWD does not...

I hope they don't become like BMW. Have you seen what BMW has become? Mazda has been on the right track since the Mazda6 debuted. Some stumbles along the way. The 2nd gen Mazda6 and early 2nd gen Mazda3 (pre-skyactiv and stupid smiley face) weren't nearly as exciting. But they already have...
