2014 2.5L here The only problem I have that started recently is the car says voice control stopped when I turn the ignition on lol.

Why would you performance tune a grocery getter? Especially a drivetrain built for fuel economy...

50% of the time when I start the car, the voice control lady says "Voice Control Stopped" or something along those times, 2 times in a row. All I do its pressing the ignition button, nothing else. I can be in the radio or nav, doesnt matter. Its a 2014 CX-5 2.5L

Since there has been zero word on any manual 2.5 I went and ordered a 2015 WRX 6MT limited with nav/keyless/speakers. Came out to 31800 before taxes and fees, which is a little more than the mazda would have been. Shame too, cause I would have went to the mazda. Had to factory order the WRX...

I have the same exact rattle. Service said they need a few hours to take apart the dash and find it. I lol'd, took my keys and left. I will call ahead of time and schedule a loaner for that to happen. Also needs an alignment, so ill do both.

Since starting this thread, it really is just my commute and NY/Long Island in general that is horrible on gas mileage. The highways are not smooth sailing, people drive like idiots here and brake constantly forcing me to brake as well. Our expressways are pretty much stop and go between the...

I bumped into so much ice this winter while parking and the plastic body panels are still pristine lol.

What should I expect so I don't get reamed at the dealer. How long will it take? How much should it cost? The dealer told me since its my first visit, the oil change is free. Thanks. Oh, also the only issue I have is an annoying rattle over the passenger dashboard. Is that something that...

I test drove the 2.5 Auto mazda 3 and it wasn't so good. Shifts were pretty slow unless going WOT to redline. The car was generally slower than I anticipated. Hoping the manual relieves that.

When is this coming out? I would be really interested as I am currently looking at the new 2015 WRX 6 speed. The Mazda 3 seems to be a much nicer fit and finish so I'd like to try it out. Any news on when its coming?

my mileage has been the same since july when i bought it til now

I guess NY is to blame with all the stop lights and signs and heavy traffic. NY City driving must not be normal city driving and NY hwy driving is normal city driving lol

I live in NY...I would hope its US mph. I see you live in Florida, theres not much traffic and tons of open highway perhaps? Our highways are like your streets here in NY. You really cant get up to 55 while commuting.

I have a 2014 touring with all the options available. Although I regret not going to the grand for the wheels and heated leather seats. Anyway, My gas mileage over the 5000 miles Ive driven the car is a horrible 21.4 MPG. When I manually calculate each tank, its really like 20.8. How is every...

If they can get a turbo on the 2.0 or even 2.5 and throw in the CX 5's lightweigt AWD system that car will be PURE win and kill the competitors in that segment. It will go directly at mercedes CLA, BMW 1/2 series, WRX, EVO, Audi A3/S3. Mazda has a legit chance of really being dominant in this...
