    I recently bought, and will soon install, a Curt class II hitch for my 2017 CX-5, model 12170. What are the trailer wiring options?

    2017 Impressions, Noise Comparison and Our New 2016 GT

    We test drove a 2017 Touring and a 2016 GT today. The 2016 is pretty quiet--good enough for us. The 2017 definitely takes it a step further. I brought my decibel meter and measured both cars on the same stretch of road at 45 mph. The 2016 measured around 72. The 2017 measured around 69. I also...

    Engine power In elevation

    I'm interested in a new CX-5, but I'm concerned with a lack of power. It sounds like I'd have fun on the twisty roads in Colorado though. What are members thoughts on the cx-5 in the mountains in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming?

    Does anyone have any experience with seat covers for the CX-5? I just picked up a used '14 CX-5 Sport FWD w/6-speed manual.

    No 2017 Manual in the US?!

    I've been on the 2016 vs 2017 fence for a while now. Without starting the "which is better" I thought I'd look at what I care about most, and a BIG part of that is mileage. So we know that Mazda is ditching the 2.0L engine for 2017, but what I haven't seen definitive information on is whether or...
