    Dealer insisted on giving me a GT even though I purchased the Touring

    That's actually pretty funny.

    "Other stuff"

    My two main interests, other than my husband and dogs, is either riding (horses) or bowling. When I'm not doing either of those, I'm working on our property - it's only 14 acres, but there's ALWAYS something that needs doing. And I just realized the other day that I bought my truck for the...

    Dealer insisted on giving me a GT even though I purchased the Touring

    I would imagine something would come to light about the mixup eventually - probably when plates were issued. I imagine they would have done whatever it took to get things right on their end, but you still may have been able to keep the car. Were the two cars the same color?

    2017 CX5 Windshield Replacement

    I wish - there's a huge rock chip that the cracks are radiating from. I'll see if I can get a pic that actually shows it.

    2017 CX5 Windshield Replacement

    Mine is cracked too, a gift from the freeway on my trip home from Baton Rouge. The initiating chip is right in the middle of the radar stuff (big square under rear view mirror) but everything works so I'm letting it go until it comes across my field of vision. Right now it looks like upside cow...

    First 1K - some thoughts

    I figured for those of us that very rarely, if ever get snow or ice, heavy rain would be the only other condition that AWD might come into play for. If not, then I don't feel so bad about not having it.

    First 1K - some thoughts

    A few weeks ago when I made the aforementioned trip to Baton Rouge and back, the drive there was uneventful (other than the despicable Houston traffic), but coming home was like driving in a hurricane - or at least a tropical storm (which is usually worse)! I hit the heaviest rain I can ever...

    Candy Apple Red

    Road grime around here turns almost solid when it dries, and it's a dull white-ish gray that really stands out on everything but............. well, gray.

    Candy Apple Red

    Owner of a black one here - she'll love the color, but tell her to be prepared to spend a lot of time and effort keeping it clean! And a drive-through car wash won't cut it, doesn't touch all the curvy parts........ And that show car is just gorgeous! I'd take a CX-5 in that color in a...

    First 1K - some thoughts

    My salesman talked me out of AWD, said I didn't need it in this part of the country. He was probably right, but I wondered if the drive was significantly different. Don't think I've ever had AWD, all I've ever driven before were trucks. My F250 is a FWD too - Four Wheeled Drive!

    First 1K - some thoughts

    Shaendra, I don't know how you can drive in Houston traffic and not be an aggressive driver!! LOL!! i was born and raised in Clear Lake, and my last job there was downtown. The traffic and really bad drivers is part of the reason why I now live in the Hill Country instead! And my inner road...

    First 1K - some thoughts

    I have floored mine once or twice (usually passing another vehicle or entering the freeway behind slow-moving idjits) and the whole FWD thing comes into effect - feels like it's about to come out from under me. How do you redline it and not lose it at the same time?

    2017 Lease deals

    When I worked out my lease deal, I knew how much I wanted my monthly payment to be and that I was not adding any cash down. And exactly which car I wanted (VIN). Gave that info to two different dealerships and let them battle it out for my business. One obviously wanted to move a car much...

    Mazda Welcome Package

    A Mazda key chain would have been nice, I'd carry one of those. Or at least keep it.

    Mazda Welcome Package

    Got mine too, huge waste of money and effort on their part. I threw it in the trash. I mean really, what're you supposed to do with it? It's a sales brochure and we already bought(or leased).

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    I actually test drove a Titanium, but it wasn't the package I wanted. I would have bought that color in the GT with everything if it had been available, but there weren't any local. So I settled for black. The Titanium was/is a nice color.

    CX-5 16 vs. 17 Side Profile Black

    j/k about the whole dent thing, I really do like the '16 better, but man is my black one hard to keep clean!

    CX-5 16 vs. 17 Side Profile Black

    Stylistic protuberance, then?

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    This is my first black vehicle, and will definitely be my last - I can wash it one day and it's dusty as hell the next. And there is no hiding it. I can see the local hand wash car place getting a lot of my money for the next three years.
