So far (60K) no maintenance issues, steering feel is very good and acceleration is there when needed.

Still waiting.

I just picked up the Conti's at Discount Tire a couple of months ago and am pleased with them. Only minor complaint is the do wander a bit on washboard road surfaces. Otherwise very good tracking and traction for an eco tire.

Don't delete. That is good information there.

I'm about to hit 60k with my 15 Touring. Tires are rotated at every oil change (since lots of rural driving ever 6k miles) and the rotors are fine. I did have to change the tires at about 55k miles with Conti's and one keyfarb battery went. Other then that no problems, knock wood.

I put high end Rain Ex on about 2 months ago and have been very satisfied, and we have gotten some heavy rain down here.

This is a timely thread. When I was last in for an oil change at 40K miles the dealer recommended a tranny service. They said it was recommended-even though not in the service guide. They wanted $250 for it.

I am in the Interstate camp. Never a lick of trouble in the South Texas heat.

My service rep ran a printout with no recalls for that as of yet. I asked about the loaner car and she said that until instructions come from Mazda they can't do a thing.

We have a limited palate to choose from. Just saying.

I hadn't seen the passenger names. Two of the families I know from living in Hampden. They were a year ahead of my son in High School. Looks like age has not brought maturity.

Seven in a CX-5? That would violate the seat belt law in Maine. And FWIW I lived in Hampden for 17 years but don't know that family.

If I forget the auto-reminder function on the passenger seat lets me know.(shrug)

Good review, and I agree with the seats. I will have 30k on the odo this week and added Cover Craft seat covers both for a better feel and to protect the seat covers from abrasion.
