I believe 2016.5 is the best CX-5 ever overall on design and reliability. Good choice!Only has 64,000kms on it. Going to read through all these forms to learn all I can about my new vehicle.
Wow, best not to let her see you say that. I know that wouldn't go over well with my wife.Sonic Silver Metallic.
Sorry, pictures aren't great. My wife took them.

Yes, GS is a Canadian trim, one higher than the base GX. Similar to the US Touring trim.With a trim of "gs" that sounds like maybe Canadian eh? Looks like sunroof cloth seats and 17" wheels so same as my American "Touring" ... which is another plus for reliability
If I was looking for a used car, low miles and good condition are the most important things than everything else. You definitely made a right decision getting this 2016.5 GS / Touring!Yes, I am in Canada. Would have preferred the GT trim, but could not pass up the mileage (kilometerage?) and condition of this one. It has the sunroof, navigation, and came with set of General winter tires on aluminum rims as well. Currently has, almost new, Pirelli tires on 17" rims.
I don’t believe your Canadian GS has heated side mirrors. And there’s nothing on the mirrors to indicate they’re heated ones. Mazda seems to hesitate offering this feature to lower trim level vehicles. Do you have heated cloth front seats?I believe the 2016.5 update added Navigation and Smart Device Integration to the 2016 model. I read that mine should have heated side mirrors, but as yet I have not been able to confirm that. No indication on the mirrors themselves, so I think not.

Yeh, you won’t see any other CX-5’s the cloth front seats coming with heated.Yes, I do have cloth heated front seats.
My '20 CX-5 GX (Canadian base trim) had heated cloth front seats. I don't think the US base trim had them that year.Yeh, you won’t see any other CX-5’s the cloth front seats coming with heated.
The LED DRL safety recall does include very few early 2016.5 CX-5’s manufactured in Dec. 2015. It also depends on the actual production date of the LED headlight assembly unit itself. If the production date of the LED headlight unit has the ‘H’ or ‘J’ date code, it isn’t subject to recall.Were the high failure rate DRLs more or less 2016 models or did that extend to 2016.5 as well?
