    Difference between 2017 CX-5 and later models?

    Perfect thanks! Only looking to add factory wired CarPlay if not already installed, as it worked beautifully on our previous 2019.

    Difference between 2017 CX-5 and later models?

    Thanks…aware of CD and all that junk, which is why we want a 2017. I wouldn’t have minded another CD car (our previous one had no trouble) if it weren’t for cracked cylinder heads popping up. What is the belt tensioner issue? Is it specific for 2017 models or continued with later ones? Reading...

    Difference between 2017 CX-5 and later models?

    Looking to purchase a 2017 GT w/premium package in the next few months for my daughter. Other than the following, how does the 2017 model differ from 2018/2019? No cylinder deactivation Different climate control panel Anything else? We previously had a 2019 touring (which we loved) but sold it...

    Driver seat memory on 2017 CX-5 GT?

    Do 2017 grand touring models come with driver seat memory? We used to have a ‘19 touring and wished we had memory settings, which I though came in grand touring models. Saw a ‘17 GT at a dealer the other day and was surprised to not see any seat memory buttons. Were they optional or even...

    Disable Cylinder Deactivation

    lol perhaps, or you could just be imagining things. Sounds more like torque converter lockup to me

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    A “good” deal (not great) would be 10% of msrp minus rebates. So if the car is 33k msrp, I’d want at least 3k off and then another 1250 rebate before fees. So yeah I’d say you should be able to do better.

    Disable Cylinder Deactivation

    Same here...I haven’t been able to tell and I’ve tried. Wish our ‘19 had the display that shows when CD active like the later cars. If nobody told me about the CD, I’d never know our cx5 had it.

    2017~2025 Rear Door bent, doesn't close fully. Repairs, what to expect?

    Yup, file a claim. And if your rate goes up a little at renewal, raising deductible will counteract the increase.

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    ‘19 touring that got CD software update around 6k...now at 39k miles. No problems at all. Enjoy your new car!

    2017~2025 AWD versus FWD

    To answer OP, awd model has a shorter final drive. So higher rpm for same speed/gear as fwd, and therefore more engine braking.

    Simplified. What percentage off the CX-5 sticker?

    Generally, 10% off sticker minus any incentives is a really good deal

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    Love the clean 5 spoke look of the pf05...just couldn’t bring myself to spend the dough and went with rx8’s. Great choice!

    2017~2025 Are 255/55R18 PS4s on a CX-5 Turbo a bad idea?

    I had them powder coated and yes they’re super easy to clean. Running 235/60/18 tires that barely clear the front struts, but no spacers, rings, etc. They bolt right up with stock lugs as if they came factory

    2017~2025 Are 255/55R18 PS4s on a CX-5 Turbo a bad idea?

    You’ll be fine with that size tire with lower offset wheel. Need to find a pic, but we’ve got powder coated rx8 wheels on our ‘19 at only 21 lbs per wheel. Benefit to these wheels is they are the same centerbore (so no centering rings) and can use stock lug nuts. 50mm offset would necessitate...

    Trim or option regrets after purchasing

    Touring with package is the best value...it’s what we bought for that very reason. That being said, would have bought a GTR or Sig if given the chance to redo.
