    2015 vs 2017 CX-5?

    Backup camera became standard, if you had the base model you had to pay extra to upgrade to the camera, on the 16.5 it was standard. Nav & heated seats became standard on the Touring, to get this on the 2016 you had to get the technology package. Just crap like that. Might have been some other...

    2015 vs 2017 CX-5?

    They're basically the same vehicle. .5 had some minor upgrades. Same body, same engine, same transmission, etc. Both rock solid.

    Battery Always Dead Issue

    Good point, I forgot about that. Popped up multiple times a few years back. Worth checking, just in case.

    Battery Always Dead Issue

    When you put the ebrake on the little switch should show amber then when you turn the car off it should disappear until you restart it. There might be some problem between the FOB and the vehicle. How close is the FOB to the car when your daughter is home? FOB battery should last at least a...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    Yours is basically the first I've seen on this forum and I've been around since 2015. There was a post once but the car was driven through deep water. If it was a problem I'm pretty sure there would be lots of posts on this forum.

    Ghost Touch screen replacement at dealer - anyone get charged?

    Sounds like a decent dealer. This is one of the advantages of using a dealer, they replaced it with minimum hassle but they're probably getting reimbursed by Mazda. Could of been alot worse, them refusing and you wasting valuable time fighting with Mazda corporate then the dealer. $75 seems...

    Mazda Infotainment Settlement

    Keep fighting. They're trying to wear you down thinking you won't have all the info to backup your claim and you'll just go away.

    2015 vs 2017 CX-5?

    16 is probably one of the best years. 16.5 is even better. Take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt. I've had my 16 for ten years, purchased new in April 2015 and have had zero problems. It's definitely one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned and I've owned alot. Ford...

    2015 vs 2017 CX-5?

    If you're looking at 15 & 17 you won't be getting turbo or CD. Turbo came in the CX-5 in 2019 and CD came in 2018. CX-5 is a 6 speed transmission that pretty seamless. Either one would be a good buy depending on the service history, lack of accidents, condition, etc. I have a 16 which is...

    Shopping Used CX-5s, questions about cracked cylinder years

    I have a 16 and never had a problem with the EPB or rear calipers. I think those problems may of been overblown.

    SOLVED: Possible failing differential, video clips included

    You have to wonder why somebody would get rid of a car with 12,000 miles. Lucky for you you still have full warranty.

    Mazda CX-5 Extended Warranty with Mopar

    $3,450 is high but don't know the situation in PR. I purchased a complete B2B warranty no deductible from my local Mazda dealer after my 2019 was coming up on the end of the Powertrain warranty for $1800. It extends the warranty for another 5 yrs and 60,000 miles. I'm pretty sure I could of...
