I am coming from a 07 Porsche Cayman S. I loved the car and it is the best handling and tactile sport car that I've owned. I vacillate between SUVs and sport cars every few years. I love the CX-5 though, and while it doesn't handle as well as the Porsche, it is more utilitarian and...

Thanks for the link. Not a big increase but going in the right direction.

It mentions fuel mileage has been improved for the 2.5 engine. Does anyone know what the gain is for 2016?

What makes you think that mutual funds and index funds are aggressive?

I have owned German cars before and those heated seats warmed up quickly and were toasty. I guess because of Deutscheland winters, they know the importance of heated seats.

It feels like the car is in a higher RPM range that it should be. It seems to me that the car is using more fuel when coasting down hill or coming to a stop.

This is according to the service tech. I know it seems very low and this might explain why it takes a long time to really feel any heat.

Well, I took my CX-5 for the seat warmer malfunction and provided the TSB # to the service manager. Apparently the seats should be at 90 degrees with all three lights on. They measured my seats and of course they measured 90 degrees. I've owned many cars with seat warmers and the Mazdas is the...

^^^Apparently there is a wire that can come loose and that makes the heated seats inoperable. You might want to your vin and see if you are affected. I know I am.

Thanks Joe. I will check it out.

I saw this TSB a few months ago posted but I can't seem to find it with a search. My seat warmers do not work at all and I think the TSB has something to do with plugging the connectors in correctly. Thank you.

My CX-5 is much quieter on the road compared to my wife's 2011 Prius. Recently we bought a new set of Michelins for Prius and there is still no comparison in quietness.

The link is not working right now but the sale is very tempting. I know when I replaced the rear sway bar on other cars I owned in the past, it made a big difference in handling. I imagine it would be the same for the CX-5.

One persons hell is another persons heaven. I really think the seats are very comfortable for me. I've been on a couple long trips too. Now, any late model Subaru seats are painful as hell to me.

Thank you for the heads up. I have been really disappointed in the lack of heat of the seats. This TSB gives me hope.

I owned a Porsche before the CX-5 and I never cared about gas mileage. The car was for fun and the MPGs was never a consideration. Now with the Mazda, it's like I hang on every 10th of a mile increase or decrease in gas mileage. It's kinda of a game for me. I guess I got this from driving my...

Yes 55-60 mph. I said I drive like an old lady. The sweet spot seems to be 45-50.

I have a 2015 GT and I am averaging 35.4 mpg on the highway. Even though I drive like an old lady, it yields good mileage.

I noticed a slight clicking noise as well when the A/C is on. It is like the fan is hitting something. The sound is so slight for now that I am not going to bother to bring it in to the dealer.

I am keeping the good factory fill (Mazda 0-20 with Moly) as long as possible. The 7500 mile mark is where I think will have an oil change.
