    Front Dash rattle potentially being addresses soon by Mazda

    Keep us updated on that rattle. Pretty sure I have that as well. It is so random and feel like it only happens if it's cold and only when the car is not warmed up.

    Drag race : Mazda Cx5 2016 vs 2018

    I still notice a decent difference when taking off from a stop with sports mode being on versus off. Think the throttle is just much more sensitive and just a tap sends you off as if you pressed it much harder in regular mode.

    Best Alternative to CX-5

    I find the CX5 to be a very stylish vehicle but I think wagons of all kinds are just meh to look at. However, the 6 wagon does look good for what it is but I just can't get into wagons. Also not a fan of hatchbacks either and I think they are similar in some ways looks wise.

    "ATTENTION" ALL 2017/2018 CX-5 owners

    This isn't just a 17/18 issue. My 16's paint is very weak and easily chips as well.

    Best Alternative to CX-5

    My main reason is I want it is because I do just want to be able to put my phone down while driving. I can't now because Mazda system doesn't offer live traffic, or a useable poi search, or Spotify integration, or ability to voice text someone. AA at least would allow me to connect my phone...

    *Ignorance. Maybe if he add an ounce of knowledge of how AA and carplay works, he wouldn't of trashed another driver(country of drivers) about their driving. AA and carplay are the future. Car companies even in this year continue to develop mediocre systems. Google and apple can do much...

    Best Alternative to CX-5

    CRV is probably your best bet or the Tucson. Tucson is just a little smaller but a bit better looking as well. Tucson coming out with a redesign for 2019 or 2020 I forget. Probably too long to wait but just letting you know.

    Wouldn't it be nice...

    I don't get it. I think these wagons are just plain ugly. Mazda is the least ugly though for what that's worth.

    2018 CX5 vs 2018 Honda CRV

    Tough choice man. Why are you selling your 16 first of all? Knowing those reasons but help with the decision. Biggest issue I have with the CRV is the styling inside, specifically the whole center stack with the infotainment system is absolutely atrocious looking. Looks so much like a mini...

    Indicated MPG vs. Real MPG

    It is not the same and you obviously don't understand. It makes a different in how the car drives. I suggest you go drive one if you want to understand where I am coming from.

    Indicated MPG vs. Real MPG

    Most eco modes are a joke. They make no different in gas mileage and just make the car more sluggish. Had it in my 13 elantra and it did nothing. The sport mode in my cx5 is perfect imo. It really just depends how you look at it though. Sport mode in the cx5 isn't meant to be the opposite...

    2016 Mazda CX-5 - What do you not like?

    A short test drive doesn't tell you everything. Especially not the whole story with the seats. Your brain is processing and taking in so much when you're that driving. That's what I think it's critical to really take multiple test drives. And just sit in the car for at least 30 min, even if...

    CX-5 Cylinder deactivation

    Yes, leaving the engine just sitting there idling for 15 min will definitely impact gas mileage. Just think, for 15 min the car is getting 0mpg. You can see this if you turn on the option to have the gas mileage displayed on the infotainment screen every time you turn off your car. If you...

    2017 Mazda CX-5 GT Tech - Mode Selector Switch

    Never really thought about that but that would be very useful. Can't tell you how many times I just want the airflow on my feet/dash and my wife wants the airflow coming through the main vents. Definitely cool feature.

    Torn between 2016 - 2017 - 2018 CX-5

    Did you list that on a listing site or was it just a local craigslist posting or something? But yeah, that's a hell of an offer. I've been eyeing up the Explorer Sport and if I got an offer like that, I'd be buying. As for your decision, I think I would go for 18 unless you can get a really...

    Torn between 2016 - 2017 - 2018 CX-5

    $25.5k for a used 16? I'd hop on that real quick. You said that is via a private sale?
