So finally got my 2017 CX-5 GS in Machine Gray for Invoice price + $300, picking up the car this Saturday. Initially I didn't think emailing the dealers for a price quote will work because most of them replied with the standard "we can't quote anything other than MSRP" but eventually I did get...

We are currently in the process of buying the car. I emailed a bunch of dealers to get their best price and hoping to select the one with lowest price. So far only one responded back to say they will only give the price in person, so I am not sure if that strategy will work. Anyways, I gave them...

I am in Toronto and after we test drove the CX-5, the dealer offered us Invoice + 3% price right off the bat without any negotiation. We wanted to test drive the CR-V and the Forester on the same day so we told him that we haven't decided what we want yet, but I get the feeling that with some...

My wife and I test drove the CX-5, CR-V and the Forester back-to-back on the same day as these were our top choices and we wanted to make the decision which car to go with. In the end we decided to go with the CX-5 and will be buying one soon. In terms of ranking, we ranked them as follows: 1...

Yeah, the two "people" at the back are more likely to be gear instead but when we go in a big group and a few cars together, some shuffling could happen. Thanks for the link to the thread, it looks like the CX-5 doesn't have issues dealing with these kinds of loads.

Can anyone share their experience with towing on CX-5? Doesn't matter if it's 1st or 2nd generation since the engine is the same. I am considering getting the 2017 CX-5 but have my doubts about whether the engine would be enough for what I want to do. A typical scenario would be 4 people in...

I would be curious to know as well, don't know of any dealers who have them yet

AWD was standard on the GT trim for the 1st gen CX-5's as well. Given the weather though, I can't imagine why anyone would not want AWD in Canada.

I am just waiting for the "Build & Price" section to be updated, it's still showing the 2016 model

haha, with taxes it would be north of 40k... strange that they would take such a step back on the features for the GS trim. It's almost like you must get the GT now or pick another brand

Interesting, in the 2016.5 model the GS trim used to be the best value but it looks like in the 2017 model they are taking a step backwards and removing some features from the GS trim and putting them into optional packages or the GT trim. Navigation that was standard in 2016.5 models is now...
