    Mazda Extended Confidence Plan

    Same with my dealer. My dealer says the Mazda plan doesn't cover as much as the CNA (which actually gets good reviews) plan they push. They may be right because I don't see the infotainment system,power window,locks etc covered in the Mazda Extended Confidence Vehicle Service Contract brochure...

    Airflow mode setting

    Most vehicles today have the defrost connected with the AC in one way or another. I find with the heat on and set to feet mode,the heat still comes out of dash vents which can be annoying at times.

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    Just came back from the dealer service and I was told the '16 CX infotainment will have virtually the same issues. There's a Samsung/Apple setup or something going on that causing issues.Seems to be only with Mazda somehow,though. I'm told the last infotainment update for my CX was around 2...

    CX-9 Loaner

    What a nice SUV. Ride is very quiet and smooth but can get busy on bumps but still nice.I was actually shocked by how smooth the ride is on big 20" tires. Plenty of pep flooring it at 30 MPH.Interior is ok but that's about it.Comfortable seats.Mediocre Bose like the CX-5.Infotainment still...

    Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?

    I like the new white back dash lighting vs the orange and non touch screen Infotainment along with the better system. The new exterior touches are ok but not a big deal to me.
