Yes, and that (sometimes uphill the engine/transmission set take too much time or pedal pressure to downshift and take care of the hill properly) is what really prompted me to post. While the CX5's tendency to always want to up-shift to keep the lower RPM band, the fact that it does not...

Okay, that is what I thought. However, I'm kicking myself right now because had I know this before I bought the car, I would have certainly gone with the newer CX-5's that have the "Sport option". It's funny, as I have no memory of this shifting behavior when I test drove the CX-5. I was...

My first guess was fuel economy. The lower rpms while driving on level roads reduces overall fuel burn. And while this all makes sense, I am finding myself so annoyed when I am in 4th gear and need immediate power (like to pass a car or speed up) and have to push the gas pedal aggressively to...

Thanks Madar for clarifying your post. I was going by memory since I was unable to find it when I decided to write my own. So it sounds as though the leak had nothing to do with the defective transmission part. I was connecting the two problems, but it is clear to me now that they were not...

Your idea about putting the complaint in the system is a very good idea, and I will do this just to ease my worries about this coming back and getting me later down the road financially. I also wish I had a way to contact Mazda and speak with someone who could give me actual data about whether...

I think what I meant to say is that he had a "leak" of some sort coming from the rear differential. I threw in the "transmission" word when I should not have. I don't even remember if the leak in the rear differential was even associated with the particular part of the transmission that was...
