2015 or 2016???

Howdy nXt,

Thanks for the information, I'm not really sure I'd be excited about
a big Screen Sitting up there, one thing about getting a little older,
I seem to get distracted quicker<G> and night vision sucks, especially
with people that wear glasses as well.

I was wanting to get the CX-5 before I retire at the first of the year, but
thought that waiting a couple of more months into 2016 might show a newer
more refined CX-5.

Thanks again for the information, Take Care,

CK

Well, I was anxiously waiting for the 2014 CX-5 and now I have a brand new Mazda3. Don't take this as an advice - everybody has their own priorities.
By the way - I love the big screen and the navigation is miles ahead of Tom-Tom.

Howdy Heritage 07,

Thanks for the reply and good wishes, feel like a little kid again about
it. My Wonderful Wife always shakes her head on trips, since I'm like
a little Kid on a Field Trip, seems that's the way I've treated Life !!!!

The Nav isn't that big of a deal to Us, we've been using our Garmin and "Maps"
you remember those old paper things<G> for years. I'm more concerned about
the other features that will make our Travels more enjoyable and reliable, mainly
reliable is the key feature.

So, if it was today, would you have talked your Dad into getting a CX-5?

Thanks again, Take Care,

CK

Absolutely would have had him buy a cx5, there is more front leg room and the 2.5 runs circles around the CRV. The only advantage I see is the CRV has more room in the hatch area and storage in the center console. The cx5 is more fun to drive and handles the twisties better. I also noticed that his CRV vibrates the back seats at idle.

Howdy Meeus,

Thanks very much for your reply and that's great
to know about the Newer Electronics !!!

My Wonderful Wife has a 2010 Mazda 3 with the 2.5 engine and
we've been on quite a few trips in it, and have to say it had a good
feel to it, and that 2.5 really gets up and moves !!!

Take Care,

CK

Howdy Heritage07,

That is wonderful to know, I've been wondering how the
CX5 stacked up against the CRV. I've been watching the
new CRV's as well, especially since they have really good
reliability and dependability.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it !!!

Take Care,
