How do you find your CX-5 highway acceleration to be?

The fastest recorded 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (stock) are from an AWD CX5...how does that make you right?
We will see. Just stopped by the Mazda dealership to see if any CX5D parts had began making it into inventory. Nope. Good luck selling a car with ZERO parts for it in inventory. We ain't there yet...

They do make the OP argument for him though, as YOU won't be merging properly either, anymore...

After about 110-ish things slow way down. I still managed to kill a V6 mustang (newer style, 05+, not the newest) ragtop with 2 people in it from 60-115 multiple times.

When I was in the business, we would allow people to take the vehicle home overnight if they were waffling on it, had solid credit and D/I ratio and if they liked it were certainly ABLE to buy it.
Don't think that happens anymore on account of people being untrustworthy

Yeah I have likewise beat similar cars. I like to punch it when the light turns green. I'm not one of those "let me take a mile to get up to speed" guys.
Agreed, it got very hard to do anything above 110, and since my Michelins were only T-speeds, I definitely did not go that fast on them. But back on my H-speeds, no problem going up to 110 through Wyoming, or any other long and straight highway path through no-where.

My experience is anecdotal. Recently there was a moose on the highway. Traffic was stopped and when I passed the moose and police cars, I was doing around 15-20kmh. I hammered the gas, right to the floor. Not very much oof I must say. Disappointing actually. But when I'm at highways speeds, there is more than enough pick up for me.

Because the CX-5 doesn't work like that. Pedal to the metal is not always the best way to get the best oomph depending on many factors.
Wow ok here you go (sorry everyone else):
1. Do you have 2014 fwd/awd test numbers in the same spec by the same publication?
2. You know probably better than anyone on here that the car has gotten slower and slower with each iteration so to pull out archived 2014 awd numbers when I showed 17 vs 17 in identical spec is complete horseshit and you know it.
3. There's zero reason to think that the diffs that very clearly exist in the 17s didn't equally exist in the superleggera early editions of the 2.5 CX-5.
4. The question here isn't 0-60 or 1/4 (that favors awd grip off the line) its cars already moving punch the throttle where even your superleggera is only a match for the fwd 17 portly model in rolling accel and 50-70

EVERY other car on the planet (especially from a rolling start) has some real get up and go. How else am I supposed to make the car go fast? The whole idea of pushing the pedal is the more you push it, the faster it will go. You're telling me that I need to push the pedal less to make it go faster?

How do you find your CX-5's highway accelertion to be?
28kph over is 5 points in Germany
Dont ask how I know

In some situations, yeah. Sometimes it only needs an incremental push to make it go with oomph. Other times just flooring it confuses it and what gear it should be in. Again, highly dependent on the situation. If I am going up a hill, then yeah of course floor it. When I am launching from a stop light when it turns green on a relatively flat surface, hell no.

I wasn't launching from a complete stop. I was already pushing the accelerator, doing 15-20km/h so the vehicle should have already been in a lower gear.

Ah...ok, I got you. Yes it does sometimes lag ass at that speed as it lags ass in that you are kinda in that grey zone of too slow for 2nd gear, but is too fast for 1st gear. (dunno)

I grew up (and remained most of my adult life) in a town in the Washington DC suburbs. Back in the day (early 60s), it was one of those towns where the cops would pull you over just because of the car you drove and your apparent age. It still retained some it's poultry feces ways throughout the years.
Not all that long ago, a neighbor got pulled for doing 3 MPH over the speed limit in a 25MPH zone!!! The cop was ready to write her up when he got radioed to a more important call. It would have been interesting to see what the outcome would have been...both she and her husband were attorneys so their defense would have been both thorough and free.
Technically she was speeding. But still...

Yeah that's how you know they don't have anything better to do and are sitting around if they are writing tickets for stinkin' 3 MPH over. That's just bovine feces.
