Finally received my recall notice. So I should budget about an hour for the work to be done? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Pretty much just what I paid for mine in the Chicago area as well. I think you will be pleased with the snow handling although we certainly did not receive the amounts they were predicting so you will just have to wait I guess to see for yourself :)

A question for people who have the maxpider mats. I got the kagu rubber ones from amazon and the fit was excellent! However I did not like the slipperiness of them and the squeaking I got when driving the car with them. Anyone get the carpet version of them and if so what is your opinion of...

Gotcha. Too late for me on that one then. Have about 160 miles on the car.

I just bought my CX-5 in Evanston from the Autobarn so I can't really comment on their service since I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Of course with this recall going on I unfortunately soon will. I can highly, highly recommend the mechanic I have been using for about 10 years now which...

I have driven more than 60 miles. Not sure what you mean by getting locked out?

Yep. Definitely of the SD card. Was just wondering before I pulled the card out of the car if there was a way through the info screen to see what version of maps I was running and if it was the latest one. I know they update a couple times a year. Just not sure when those times are. Since...

Chicagoland is a big area. North side, south side, city? And how far are you willing to go?

Makes sense. Oh well. Only one recall for me.

Does this recall only affect you if you have had your windshield replaced due to cracking previously?

Since I just purchased my CX-5 about 2 weeks ago I figured I would give my dealer a call. Honestly they were pretty clueless at this point. Said they are waiting to hear from Mazda on how to proceed which makes perfect sense. As far as issuing me a loaner car in case I was uncomfortable...

Have had my new 2016 CX-5 for about 2 weeks now and am enjoying it very much. Can someone tell me how to tell which version of maps my NAV system is using? In other words do I need to update it? Seems like a lot of new businesses near me are not listed under the POI category. thanks.

Forgot to post my actual purchase price. Bought a 2016 Grand Touring with the technology package for $29,900 before taxes and other smaller fees.

Thanks. I looked at the thread with the best prices and it looked like it is listing just slightly over $30,000 for a Grand Touring with AWD and the technology package so I figured this was worth pulling the trigger without anymore haggling. Will take a look at that thread again.

Just an update. Did some internet quoting from dealers today. After getting 4 different quotes looks like the best offer is just about $900 below invoice so around $29,900. From what I have been reading in this thread that seems pretty reasonable. Agreed?
