26.5 mpg is exactly I get on an average
If I drive fearlessly , the best I best I get is 26.5 on my 2014 AWD grandtouring since Jan 2014. It's pretty consistent in mixed driving conditions
If I drive under 40 mph on backroads for an extended amount of time I get close to 30mpg.
If I drive...
Got mine from North End Mazda- Yeah it's bit of a drive
All negotiations over phone. Real sober folks. ( I felt sick dealing with high pressure dealers)
Show up with bank check.
Car delivered to my house.
One liner on Nokian WRG3
This is my second winter on WRG3 . While a lot better than all seasons in slush and snow they do slip, if your are not careful - Unlike Nokian Hakkas.
If you drive in dry and frigid conditions , they are awesome. Very low rolling resistance ( just as describe by Nokian...
CX-5 tail fishing at low end turns sucks . Period . That is even with most exotic of the snow tires. Totally scary.
On a straight line , even on the icy , real slick road it's a champ. Totally predictable and confident
My take is that CX- is great in slick icy roads , on highways - Traveling in straight line. In slush and in quick ( 15 miles/hr) turns it still fish tails with my nokians . Could not figure out why . Probably it's too light.!
O.k now the grim part
We all love our Cx-5 .. but the secondary market thing otherwise . CX-5 , which I bought for life (ha ha) is terribly priced in secondary markets compared to Rav 4's etc. Thoughts! Mazda's are really reliable cars in general . So , What am I missing ?(sun)

Reducd your unsprung wait and get good tires.

Did a swap out. Late winter setup. Got rid of 19 inch wheels and tires.
Got 17 wheels + nokian 215/x/17 WRG4 tires. Results were...
Lugs nuts question!
Just got mazda pem Cx-5 wheels 17 inch version from ebay for late winter setup.
Silly Question: Can I use the center caps and lug nuts which came with my 19 inch mazda cx-5 wheels ?:o
I don't think there are many cars that can touch the performance of Subaru's AWD - Have not tried it in dirt but in SNOW without snow tires .. lot of fish tailing even at 20 mph.
All I can say is that CX-5 would need time to catch with SUBARU or Audi's terrain performance. CX-5 computer is...
Whatever happened was GREAT.
I am just curious
I never achieved the fantastic mileage figures other folks in the forum get. While I always drove with an egg under my feet , I never could better than 23.8 overall.( As per the dash meter). I bought CX-5 after a lot of research and spent at...
