New to the forum and new to Mazda

[Rivmage]

Hi all,

The Wife and I decided we needed a new car once my PT Cruiser need 2500 to 3000 in repairs. (New battery, Alternator, Tires and Timing belt). We had been considering Subaru Crosstrek or Forester. I talked her into stopping by the Mazda dealership to just test drive a CX-5 and make sure we were 100% sure we wanted a Subaru. Well, we picked up our first Mazda on Saturday. We chose a 2014 CX-5 Sport with AWD in Sky Blue Mica.

Congrats, and good choice.

I have always loved that blue...

Are they still painting the engine cover under the hood the same blue color??? Or was that just for 2013 model year?

My 2014 Sport doesn't have a painted engine cover. Don't know about the other trim levels.

I believe that is only on the 2.0L engine, which is now only available on the base trim levels, at least here in Canada. As soon as you start going up in levels, you get the 2.5L engine.

I have the base trim level 2.0L so, I guess we in the US don't get the painted engine cover. I guess I'll have to try to find one from a 2013.
