    Full Transmission Replacement

    You bet I will although it will be hard to compare the two. Because it's a complicated machine and my experience with the CX I bought an extended warranty for the first time in MY life. If the CX was out of warranty the tranny would have cost me $3500-$4000 to replace. The 7 year 125,000...

    Yep. I bought the Mirage and the Mercedes the same week. The Mirage was for hypermiling. It sucked. Both sucked.

    ***UPDATE**** New transmission arrived at 5:30am on Wednesday morning and should be done this evening. The Mazda dealer is 3 blocks down from the Toyota dealer. So - Saturday morning I pick up the CX-5 and about 3 minutes later I will be driving home in my new Toyota Prius Four Touring. Very...

    I'll assume you've never driven one. I owned a 2016 for about 4 months. I HAD to sell it. In strong winds it was WORK to keep it on the road.

    Easy....MB designed the base model to make you feel like you had purchased a poor mans MB - which I had. It was the worst car I'd ever owned.

    I just want to say again - I traded a MB GLA250 4matic for the CX5 and the CX5 absolutely CRUSHED IT IN ALL AREAS....and I mean ALL! I loved the CX5 and if the tranny didn't take a crap - I'd have loved it for as many trouble free miles as it would have given me. The interior was absolutely...

    We'll have agree to disagree on all points above. The C6 Z was and is insanely beautiful. When I'm out in my car and it's parked 1 out of every 2 people either engage in conversation or stare and give the thumbs up. It's definitely a conversation piece.

    The looks. Only the looks. The C7 is very close to Ferrari/Lambo type styling. I love that SUPERcar look.

    The OP bought a CX5 because he, at the time, wanted to try a sexy, reliable, and useful CUV. The reliable is gone for this particular individual. While driving I realized I didn't favor stopping so often for gas and the beautiful interior wasn't enough of a reason to keep it - so a hypermiler...

    Stopping to fill up a gas tank 2 sometimes 3 times a week sucks. Add in 10 degree weather and snow - even worse :)

    Yeah - but if you married a woman who was abused by her daddy as a child, divorced 4 times before you, and drinks to drown her sorrows from life - you're already behind the 8 ball. My CX5 is THAT woman :)

    Thank you....I just didn't have it in me to reply...but you nailed it. My daily driver MUST be rock solid reliable and needing a new transmission @ 11K and 9 months just broke that trust. The Corvette - I drive to the car show 3 miles away - park it and sit next to it. If I break down or...
