not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but according to this article, diesel coming in 2nd half of 2017. http://autoweek.com/article/los-angeles-auto-show/2017-mazda-cx-5-doesnt-mess-winning-formula

very interesting and disappointing. you wouldn't expect it to get worse.

if mazda does release a turbo cx-5, I will replace my forester xt with it. (drive)

Great pics, thanks!

My guess is that the IIHS ratings won't be available until well after the new CX-9 has been on sale. The NHTSA ratings might be out sooner. One thing I notice is that car manufacturers are pretty accurate about predicting their ratings. If they say they expect it to be a top safety pick+, it...

actually, wouldn't the worse case scenario be dying a horrible death by fire?

i find it pathetic that the toyota rep would be making excuses. we are talking about saving people from injury and death. you suck toyota!

i think you should get the cx-5 and not worry about it being the perfect car.

don't you want to leave the car as is, so the service dept can see the condition it's in?

with all of the recent weather on the east coast, i could understand her reasoning. honestly, if a subaru and an AWD cx-5 had the same winter tires, it would be safe to say that yes, the subaru would perform better in the snow. maybe you won't ever notice the difference, or maybe it might be...

i thought the head gasket issue was for earlier models and not for the 2014s. i guess we will have to wait and see. yeah, if i could get katskin leather on a cx-5 touring for $1200, i would probably do it.

yup, everything you said about the XT is true. premium gas is more, mpg is less (although better than my old bmw). turbo engines in general cost more to maintain as well. ... but the power is so great! :D i personally think the oil consumption issue is overblown. not everyone has it, and...

i have a 2014 Forester XT and i think its great! i have had no major problems with it. i will admit there is a well documented hard-start issue with the XT engine that subaru is working on a software fix for. i have been so pleased with the forester that i was thinking about getting the 2.5L...

well, this is great news that mazda was able to improve their crash scores. looks like the 2014 model is back on my shopping list! (nana)

i don't know if your theory has merit or not, but i'm going to trust the results of the iihs test. i have been waiting for this test and i'm very disappointed with the results of the cx-5. gotta cross it off my list. it's been fun, good luck to you all.
