Just wanted to say this is a great board, even though I didn't post much, but I read many threads here. We decided to let the 2016 GT go to a more faithful owner. We both come to decision that the CX-5 was not to our taste. Replaced with a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.
I'm not going to compare because they are completely different. This is our 3rd Jeep so we know what to expect from it. We gained an extra 3 years and 100,000 miles warranty with the Jeep, we didn't get any extended warranty on the Mazda.
We both wanted more room and something more comfortable on the hwy. Which the Jeep is in every way.
A few deciding factors that lead to this decision were probably, size, infotainment system and comfort. Just felt to small inside. We also liked the wifi hotspot for small trips, which works OK even though it's only 3g and is 9 bucks a day, but we can just get when needed. Helps a lot with the little one in the back and her tablet.
Take care and I'm sure you all will get many miles of enjoyment in your Mazda.
