Well, for the 2nd time in 6 months a piece of flying road debris has struck my poor 2016.5 GT :( Luckily instead of a road gator (blown tire) this time it was an asphalt shingle or something similar, so much less damage this time, but damage none the less. It looks like I lost the driver's...

Well, before last Saturday night my lovely 2016.5 didn't have a single scratch on it. Then an unfortunate encounter with a big rig blown tire tread ended that. Uggh, any ballpark numbers for replacing the front bumper cover? That's going to be the big ticket item here for sure. Here's the...

So, while my CX-5 is in the shop for service the dealership gave me a Mazda 3 hatchback as a loaner. Whenever I get a rental car, I always look at the little arrow near the fuel gauge so I know which side of the car the fuel door is on (which is why it's there). But low and behold, someone at...

My understanding is that my 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD might be able to have the Android Auto software upgrade from a dealership. I was just wondering, I currently have all my music on an old 3Gen IPod Nano plugged into the USB. If I go ahead with the AA upgrade and I'm using my phone for...

I have a 2016.5 CX-5 AWD GT I purchased in April 2017 and the warranty is about to expire. When I first got the car, I had it in the shop 3 or 4 times trying to fix a squeaking noise that would occur when rolling forward slowly (foot off the gas and off the brake). That never really got...

So, looking to get a few accessories on the my new CX-5 (taking delivery next week). Had some questions... 1) Bumper guard: Dealership wants $75 to install it which I think is crazy. Aren't these just put on with sticky tape? Has anyone done it themselves? 2) Mud guards: These weren't...

I'll be taking delivery of a 2016.5 GT AWD next week and was just wondering if there are any special break in dos and don'ts for the 2.5L engine. Thanks!

Ok, I already know a bunch of people will say the GT tech. package is worth the cost (I've already heard from some people in another thread). Is there anyone who regrets getting the GT tech. package? I'm holding back because I don't like the idea of SCBS malfunctioning on me or the cost to...

I'm considering a CX-5 GT with the leather seats but I'm worried about hot summer temperatures. I heard about UV blocking clear film for the front windows (dark tinting front windows is legal in California). Just wondering if anyone has used the clear UV window tint before. If so, does it...

I need a quick answer from the group here. What driver aids come on a 2016.5 Grand Touring here in the US? Blind spot monitoring only? The brochure shows land departure warning as a package option, not standard. I thought it was standard on a GT. I actually hate all the beeping noises cars...

I'm going to be buying a 2016 CX-5 in the next few days. I'm wondering if the Mazda splash guards are really worth it. They seem so small in the pictures online, I'm not sure they would do anything. I do drive down dirt roads fairly often though. Are the Mazda splash guards worth it? Are...

I'm strongly considering getting a Soul Red 2016.5 CX-5 and I had some questions for those of you who have this color. 1) Does the color fade over time? Is it too early to tell because CX-5s haven't been around all that long? I know older 80's and 90's cars had this problem but I wasn't sure...

Has anyone seen a picture of the new Touring trim seats for U.S. spec. 2017s? Apparently they will be leatherette with faux suede inserts. I don't know much about faux suede, is it similar to "microfiber" you see on some couches?

I'm likely buying a new 2016.5 CX-5 soon. Anyway, I'm looking at accessories and I had a couple of questions..... 1) Can the cargo cover be stored under the cargo floor (above the spare tire)? 2) With the Mazda rubber cargo Tray / Liner, I notice that it goes down into the holes on either...

Not sure if this was posted in another tread, if so sorry for the double post. But TFL Car just had a sneak peak put out on the 2017 CX-5 and they say that the more in-depth reviews will be out on Monday, indicating that is when the press blackout will be lifted.

So, I've been checking the Mazda USA website for new information on the 2017 CX-5. I'm actually leaning toward a 2016.5, but I'm waiting for more information to drop on the 2017 before I make a final decision. Plus, hopefully the prices on the 2016s will drop the same time information on the...

NEED HELP QUICK! Considering Used 2016 CX-5 Purchase: Update: Not Buying Stand Down. I may be buying a car tomorrow, and I have a few final questions after an extensive inspection of the car today. If people can respond tonight, that would be great. The car I'm looking at is a 2016 (not a .5...

I've decide to get a 2016 CX-5 in the Touring trim and I'm facing the choice of the standard radio vs the Bose/moonroof package. I really don't want/need the moonroof, so the radio is the determining factor. After reading various threads on here the general consensus I've come away with is...

I'm considering the purchase of a 2016 CX-5 Touring (used), but I have a few questions I was hoping to get some answers for here on the forum. 1) Does anyone know if the 2017 CX-5 will have a manual transmission with the 2.5L engine? I REALLY want a manual and I would wait for the 2017 if it...
