Scotty Kilmer? LOL Ever see the Seinfeld episode with the guy ripping parts out of the car? Yeah, that could be him.

Whatever you do AVOID Jeep/Dodge/FIAT products like the plague. Total junk.

30+ mpg is easily achievable with the NA 2.5 motor. You have to keep your highway speeds at or below 65. This goes for any vehicle. Above 65 mph the mpg quickly falls off because of drag and RPMs The sweet spot for me was about 61 to 63mph.

First full tank gone through in 2 days. Yikes! Anyway, I didn't reset the MPG when I got the car. It had 51 miles on it. Most of which was me test driving it before I took delivery. Average MPG with mixed driving for me is 23.9. I reset and will see how I do on this next tank full. Running...

Yes it does. Mazda used to offer traffic with their head units from what I have read but that stopped about 5 or 8 years ago. It's back. Red, green and yellow lines on the navi screen now courtesy of Sirius TrafficLink

On my 2016.5 I was getting about 27 combined during the winter and 28 during the summer. With only 1 other passenger I managed on multiple long trips to achieve almost 33mpg on the highway. I sure hope the 2019 signature is not under 20mpg for combined or I may have to part ways with it before...

I am not 100% certain but I thought I read 5 year subscription included for the SiriusLink stuff. It was on a press release I read a bit ago but maybe that has changed or I could have been dreaming. LOL

Congratulations on the new CX5!

Correct. $500 customer cash plus the $500 trade-in

Glad to see that the new 2019s have traffic in the navigation system again. Not sure how well the Sirius XM traffic plus will be but for the times I am not using google maps it will be a nice addition.

Purchased a 2019 Black GT Signature today. MSRP $37,885 Paid $35,947 Plus $1750 in rebates for a total of $34,197. Got a reasonable trade in value on my 2016.5 with 70k+ miles. Very happy with the deal. Great folks at my dealer and are probably the best dealership I have ever worked with.

Thank you for the replies. I think I am going to go with the signature.

Getting ready to do a deal on a 2019 Black Signature or Reserve. Trading my 2016.5 CX5 which has 70k miles on it. This is my primary "work" vehicle. I travel a lot for my business and I am trying to get in a to a new vehicle every 2 to 3 years. Test drove the new turbos and they are sweet...

The windshield and front grill area are magnets for insects! I have more smashed insects than I have ever had on any vehicle. :(

I posted this is the wrong thread last night..Wanted to try to keep this together. We went on our first long road trip with the CX-5. Outstanding performance and MPG. 4 hours in 95f heat we got just under 34mpg and that was being stuck in traffic for about 30 minutes. On the way back we...
