    Questions for turbo owners

    Nice cruising and plenty of power for passing and climbing hills (No Georgia). Really feels more to me like a V-6 then a turbo 4 and thats just fine. 87 octane - about 22.5 MPG averaging but i drive fast. I've tried a couple tanks of 91 octane but I dont feel much difference in performance -...

    2019 CX-5 signature / Mazda Roadside Assistance story (long)

    Dealer update: Dealer called me back yesterday and told me all the car needed was for the battery to be charged(!?!) They tested the electrical system and everything tests fine. Could not explain what I could have left on to cause the battery to discharge in just 2.5 hrs. I know I locked the...

    2019 CX-5 signature / Mazda Roadside Assistance story (long)

    Took the family into the city on Saturday for a music/arts festival. Parked on the street - nice residential area. Returned to the car around 6:30pm - key fob does not work - doors are unlocked ( i double locked the car when we left it) Go to start the car - nothing. No cranking, zip - just a...

    2019: CX5 Signature vs CS-9 GT

    I test drove a 2019 CX-5 GTR last week and then a 2018 CX-9 Signature right after to compare. I was surprised at how much I liked the CX-9 - handled much better and seemed more refined than the 2016 Edge Sport I test drove last week - turbo delivery was more smooth as well. I did feel the extra...

    2017 Cherokee vs 2016.5 CX-5

    Had a 2014 Cherokee Trailhawk and loved it at first. After many trips to the shop (air cond, elecronic parking brake freezing, and too many transmission updates to count) I traded it in on my 2016 CX-5 Touring. I liked the Jeeps ride, interior, infotainment and of course off road capability. The...

    Any advantage of getting AWD over FWD in a city like Atlanta?

    I live in Cumming (north of Atlanta) and we dont get much snow up here, but I do notice the difference on wet roads. FWD can be a bit squirly on wet roads, though I havent tried a CX-5 FWD. I'm sure the gas mileage suffers - I average 23.7 mpg mixed city/hwy, but I drive with a heavy foot so...

    Perspective, The Fickle Mistress

    Since moving to metro Atlanta, I rely on Waze (community based GPS phone app ) to find me the quickest routes around traffic and accidents , not to mention warning me of speed traps ;-) Pretty sure built-in navigation would not help me much in this area. Sure would be nice if I could cast my...

    Broken center console latch (2016)

    Thanks for the update. I just scheduled the same for my car with my selling dealer (Mazda - Roswell) - part on order. They said they will cover it under warranty as long as I have < 36K miles. Guess I should have taken mine there to begin with. I originally took mine to Mazda - Mall of Georgia...

    Thinking of getting a CX-5, how's the reliability?

    About average so far (2016 CX-5 2.5L Touring - 17250 miles) - better than my last vehicle (2014 Cherokee TH) but not as good as others. - Entertainment System loses settings (presets / time) intermittantly - hopefully solved by firmware update/flash - stock tires very puncture prone (3) - I've...

    Broken center console latch (2016)

    I have the same problem - broken center console latch (2016 CX-5 still under warranty) - dealer says it's NOT covered under warranty and it will cost $75 to fix. That sucks - seems that others are experiencing this issue also and a latch should hold up longer than 6 months(?) Anyone else get...

    Comparing my 2016 GT to my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk

    I traded in my 2014 Trailhawk (Cherokee) v-6 with 22000 miles for my 2016 CX-5 AWD about a year ago and couldnt be happier. The Jeep's interior / ride were superior but the handling and responsiveness of the CX-5 more than make up for it. The 9-speed (yeah right) ZF transmission is kludgy and...
