(hi),
Just want to drop a quick note and say hi as a new forum member.
We are a Mazda 3 hatchback owner, bought two years ago.
No issue so far and we have been very happy with its gas mileage and handling.
We are thinking to get CX5 2.5L 2015 later this year. Still undecided whether to get Touring vs. GT, will wait until further detail is available for 2015 model.
The number one criteria when I am looking for a car is how good the car handling. Driver's car.
I still need to test drive it but based from what I read, it sounds like CX-5 could be the ideal CUV for us.
We have several questions, so please bear with us:
1. From what I read, it looks like the hood issue should be fixed for later production car. Are there other common issues that have not been addressed with TSB yet?
2. We are going to start a family in the near future. Does the rear passenger seat behind the driver seat have enough space for rear facing child seat? I am 5' 11", my wife is shorter.
3. I read in the sticky that many people (from many states in the US) got their CX-5 below invoice price but could not seem to find anyone from TX. We are in Austin, TX and all of the Mazda dealerships around here are owned by the same owner, so no competition. Curious if there are Texan forum members that could share with us their purchase experience and the price they paid.
4. This is unclear to me. Does CX-5 front seats have a memory seat feature for us to store multiple seat positions?
Thanks in advance.

I'm in Cedar Park and it's crazy there are like 4 Mazda dealerships all owned by Beasley. I didn't want to mess going to San Antonio or Houston, though. I feel the dealership in Georgetown treated me fair.
