Doesn't the GT have the cylinder deactivation? That would be a deal breaker for me. I've scratched my head on why Mazda doesn't make an option to turn that off.
What did you pay for your CX-5?

Yes the NA 2.5s have cylinder deactivation. Not exactly something anyone likes but they have corrected (we hope) the issue by reflashing the ECUs to avoid the rocker issues cars were having when activating cylinders. This is something I just read so its all new to me

There are varying opinions on this.
There were a few members here who had problems before the ECU flash.
>None of those members have reported any issues since their ECU got updated
>Members who did not have problems and got their ECU flashed as a preventative measure continued to be problem-free
>Members who purchased vehicles that were sold with the updated ECU have reported no problems
Some people think that the ECU fix is masking an underlying design problem and it's only "a matter of time." The CD issue used to be a hot topic here, but once the ECU flash was deployed, a couple of members then said "I pushed the car and could not break it," and then the topic completely died (except for the occasional "I would never buy one" comments.)
There's a couple of long thread here on this topic if you care to read the history.
It's going to depend on the brand. Some companies (like Mazda) have very little mark-up to work with and most dealers will end up within $500 of each other. I went to visit the Mazda dealer I used to work at the other day and got to talking with the General Sales Manager. He said that they sold more cars this April than they did last April

I only watched this first video and he repeats what's been said here all along:
-The used car market is being flooded and prices ARE coming down
-New cars prices have yet to fall
Specifically, at 3:45 in the video the guy says
It will be interesting to see what happens. I imagine the industry is taking a wait-and-see position right now. They've yet to pull the trigger.
The one factor that is out of their control is Trade In Value. The used car market determines that. I would imagine that new car dealers might do things like "50% over Blue Book for your trade-in!" rather that actually cut the selling price of their vehicles. One of those is an easier position to retract from in the future than the other.

We have a couple CX5's in the family, a 2018 and 2019. Both purchased pre-owned, 35k and 18k miles on them respectively. Absolutely no issues with them thus far. Both have been ECU flashed per the recall.
I remember 2017 reviews knocking the gas mileage a bit, not sure how our driving styles would transalate if we had a 2017 but we average over 30 mpg in both our CX5's in mixed driving......alot of rural roads that help keep the MPG averages up when CD is engaged.

To remain slightly off-topic:
I did lots of complaining about the mileage in my 2019 turbo (Avg 24MPG) until I set the Fuel Economy Monitor to display every time the ignition is turned off (in other words, it automatically displays up briefly at the end of every trip) so I could see what's going on.
Long story short: my mileage is 19MPG on a 10 mile trip from a cold start, 27MPG on the return trip home when it's warmed up, and sometimes 30MPG on longer drives, There are certainly other variables, but "short" trips from a cold start is a mileage killer. Kinda interleaves with Oil Dilution risk factors, huh? (My car shows no sign of it.)
Having the Fuel Economy Monitor set to automatically come up at the end of every trip is a great tool if you're trying to understand your fuel consumption.

You should do the actual man
And trying to do the mpg on a short trip to trip basis is not a great idea because it’s going to fluctuate too much for a short ride Regardless of engine being warmed up or not.
You should manually calculate your MPG at fill up. So if you add back in 14.5 gallons and you went 380 miles. You know you got 26.2 mpg for that fill up (380/14.5). The computer calculates aren’t usually accurate for me upto a full mpg some times.

Yeh, I have calculated the manual MPG and captured the computer's MPG at every fill-up since I've have the car (nearly 9,000 miles.) I have the raw data for every tankful. The computer is 0.6 MPG lower than the manual calc, based on the aggregate weighted average of both. But fluctuations exist doing manual calcs because you're rarely beginning/ending with a perfectly full tank.
You may be right about short trip Fuel Economy Monitor accuracy. I don't have any way of validating it. My low mileage complaints were based on my per-tank calcs. But the "Drive Out/Drive Home" computer figures are pretty consistent from comparable trip-to-trip (there have been outlayers.) And Drive Out (cold) is always 7-8MPG lower than Drive Home (warm) except for longer trips. I'm retired, so I'm not driving to work and leaving the car sit all day to cool down for the return trip...Drive Home is always in a warmed-up car.
So I think the Fuel Economy Monitor is a good relative measurement, if nothing else. And it showed me that it's all those "short cold trips" that are keeping my mileage relatively low, and that there's nothing wrong with my car.
Honestly, I would have not thought 10 miles to be all that short of a trip. Before I moved to the country, my work commute was 3 miles and trips to the store were generally 1 mile. I can't imagine what those figures would have been!!!
Hello All,
Brand new member here. Just wanted to share the deal I got yesterday after a few weeks of searching and comparing what prices others have gotten here.
Located in southern California.
Certified Pre Owned 2019 CX 5 GT with PP, Red Exterior, Black Interior, 5,200 miles, Dealer loaner vehicle.
Base price $25,998 (was $29,998 but the dealer reduced by $4k on their own)
9.5 % Tax $2,470
Title and other fees $500
Total Cost roughly $29,000
Down payment $8,000
60 month 1.9% APR through Mazda - $1000 interest, $350 monthly payment.
They would not budge on price but got them to add on all weather mats, rear cargo tray mat, and tints at no extra cost.
Great car with an awesome CPO warranty in my opinion. Don't feel like I got an unheard of deal but definitely a good price, especially with the 1.9% APR. Haven't taken delivery of the car yet as they're going to be detailing and tinting it this week.
Glad to be a first time Mazda owner.

Congratulations!
My 2019 GT Reserve is my first Mazda. I don't know why this brand was not on my radar screen before. I really love it. I know you'll enjoy yours as well.

Congratulations on your new car. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it.
Mazda is a great brand. We are on our third Mazda vehicle in our family and could not be happier. We hope you will be as well.

price seems ok. You can immediately pay it off and the dealer get's their commission on financing - don't worry about them.
Interesting, can I ask how you know this? The salesman told me differently, and obviously I'd like to save a few hundred bucks of interest but don't want to screw them.

dealerships get their finance kickbacks for steering the loan to the lender. Once the lender has a loan the dealer get's paid. To my knowledge there is not a time period where the dealer (sales person) get more / less of the kickback. - because it happens at loan origination.
basically the dealership marks up the loan then presents it to you. they get paid when you sign the dotted line.
What would you think happens if you NEVER made a payment and the vehicle was repossessed ? - the dealership would still get paid.

the finance company would do a charge back on the commission paid for originating the loan if it is cancelled before about 45-60 days. the salesperson usually doesn't see anything of the financing commission. If they do, it'll maybe a 2%-3% commission. The finance manger gets the highest percentage commission and the rest goes to the dealership
Where are you located? I am looking into a 2020 GTR as well and was hoping to get the price to around $32K
Got quoted $38K and $35K from two local dealers right now. Didn't even bother to continue the conversation
