That’s a lie! All 2018 and early 2019 CX-5 are subject to a falling rocker arm safety recall which caused by the newly added cylinder deactivation feature.

Mazda CX-5…Our last resort?

Rocker Arm Concern - Safety and Emissions Recall 3719F
per your advice looking at ’16 &’17
i must be suggestable.
Yesterday the 2018 had a good ride and comfortable seats
Today after reading the posts the 2017 was bumpy and the seats seemed hard
i know this is an unreliable comparison cause models were different years but this is why the process makes my head hurt

Yes buying a good used car is time consuming and sometimes you need some luck. That’s why I’d rather to save some money and get a brand new car even a cheaper one is fine with me.
The easiest way to distinguish 2016.5 and 2016 CX-5 is to look the manufacture date label on the driver side door jamb. 2016 CX-5 was assemblied between 12/2015 ~ 1/2016, and 2016.5 CX-5 was assembled between 2/2016 ~ 1/2017.
If you see the leather seats on 2016 ~ 2017 CX-5, it’s the top trim GT. If you see the cloth seats it’s the lowest trim Sport or 2016 / 2016.5 mid-trim Touring. 2017 mid-trim Touring has leatherette / vinyl seats.
Good luck on car hunting ⋯。
Thanks so much. A moment of levity if I may: How do you folks know so much about cars? You must study manuals, magazines and blogs the way I study garden books and horticulture. Do you all wander around car shows and showrooms the way I do plant nurseries?
I hate the all black interiors. Biut my hands clothes and shoes are usually dirty and flats and shrubs get thrown in the car where they fit. They spill. My advocation does not go well with “parchment “ leather interiors. but I would not endanger a soul red or blue metallic exterior. If I could find one among all the sober black hearses.

Some are more experienced than others with certain issues. Others do a lot of research into specific aspects or issues, so even if they don't have any actual experience, they can relay what they've read about or seen from other sources. The main focus of the forum experience is sharing information, so even if you come here knowing next to nothing about Mazda, chances are good that you will learn a ton just by doing forum searches on topics you're interested in, or by asking the right questions.
I thought in other threads 2016.5 manufacturer start date was actually in late 12/2015
Options juggling with '16-'16.5 so you may get more for the money
