Random thoughts and experience, no real questions.
Bought a 19 CX5 Signature Jan 2019 and absolutely love the car but I knew it was smaller than I wanted and we would ultimately need. At the time wifey insisted she didn't want a "massive" car so ok, it's her car so...
Fast forward a year and it's becoming more obvious we need more room (not for kids, but for dogs). Looking at all the offerings nothing will be as nice, fun to drive, have the features as the 9 so I'm shopping hard to find a deal on trading my 5 on a '19 9 GT plus as little time cash out as possible - hoping for $5k. Wife just loves her 5 and the 9 is pretty much it's bigger twin brother. Would like the extra torque and getting colors I want in a '20 but not worth ~$4k more.
Still shocked that a true oem remote start isn't standard on a +$40k car (or offered at all). C'mon Mazda get with it!!! And just read another thread that the rear view camera gets mucked-up when it rains. Both issues are annoying but hardly show-stoppers for us.
