In a Dec 2018 article in C&D about the 2019 Signature model they give 130 mph as the electronicly limited top speed.

This can*t be just a CX-9 issue. The 2.5 turbo is in multiple vehicles. Anyone seeing it show up in the other vehicles ?

I believe it*s 130 mph. I also spend more time than I should at the 85-100 mph range during my commute to work. I*m doing it now in an Outback. I am assuming the CX-5 will outperform it in just about every category even with all season tires. I tend to use H or V rated tires. Can anyone say how...

I*ve already downloaded the manual and will go through it before my next visit. I want to play more with the rest of the controls too. Thanks.

Just wanted to update this thread. I got to spend more time in a CX-5 and CX-9. Didn't drive them, but played with everything. The CX-9 is very big (and Very nice), if I were in need of another mini-van I would probably get a CX-9 instead. But, it didn't offer any more front leg room than...

Thanks, I have an appointment tomorrow to check out a CX9 and take a 2nd look at the CX5. I may have been too hasty the first time. The more research I do on other possibilities to replace my Outback the better the Mazdas look. I*m very anxious to see what updates the 2020 models will have. But...

Is the sound system the same on the CX-9?

I guess I*m going to have to make another trip to the dealer and spend a bit more time in one

That's a bummer, I figured that since it was 20 inches longer maybe an inch or two of that would be up front for the driver. I don't care for the new Outback because I don't like the huge screen and lack of buttons. I also don't like the idea of a camera mounted facing me to make sure I'm...

Not at all, I'm 6'0", and just under 200 lbs. But, I spend a lot of time in my car, mostly driving, but also waiting. I like to be able to back the seat up all the way so I can stretch my legs for a bit. In my Outback, my normal driving position has the seat a few inches in from the rear most...

Well, after quite a bit of internet research I had all but decided that a new CX-5 Signature was going to replace my 2011 Outback. Until I test drove one about an hour ago. Everything about the ride was fine, but I really needed the front seat to go back another inch or two. The ride was only...

It*s gotta be leather for me. I*m never going back to a cloth interior.

Yup, tinting is always one of the first things I get done too.

Are the front seats in the 2019 CX-5 the same as in the CX-9?

Just wondering if the activsense radar used in the new Mazdas will affect the ability to use a radar detector? I know that there are some false detections when surrounding vehicles use it even though they are supposed to use a different frequency. But, does your own cars use of radar also...
