- '15 CX-5 Sport 6spd MT
Just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the great information on this forum prior to making my purchase! Mine's a 2015 Sport with manual transmission in Liquid Silver metallic.
One thing I'd like to add or clarify is that the base radio (non-bluetooth/non-touchscreen) found on the Sport (base) models have no problems with USB playback after turning the vehicle on and then off! This was kind of make-or-break for me.
If you're considering the CX-5 in manual transmission, you'll be getting the base radio, which works like charm. Started at 9 miles and now I'm at 660 miles. Done with the break-in period and it feels slightly peppier. Initially had a real hard time going past 80 mph in 6th gear!
