    2018 vs 2016

    I was looking for a 2016.5 but the price differential and the new features of the 2018, it didn't make sense to go with the older used car. I worried about the paint quality as it seems to get chipped and scratched really easy so I got an installer to put a 3M clear bra (full hood, full front...

    2017~2024 Finally I'm A 2018 Mazda CX-5 Owner

    Yup, first time new buyer. Previous cars bought were 6 to 12 months old, so I wanted to have a look. I got delivery of the car last Wednesday - I didn't get them to put it on the hoist, but did take a look underneath, but as it only had 12km, I figured there is nothing that I could see odd at...

    Paint / Clear Coat concerns

    okay, I got another quote from another installer for full fender, full hood and bumper using 3M Pro for 1,100 CDN plus Tax (950 US). A-pillars and leading roof for 200 CDN (175 USD) extra. Seems really good way to protect the car, but not sure about this guy's workmanship. My 2006 Mazda 3...

    2017~2024 Finally I'm A 2018 Mazda CX-5 Owner

    Receiving the 2018 Sonic Silver GT tomorrow (Wednesday) in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. Is it normal for me to ask them to put it up on the hoist for the inspection? I want to see all angles of this vehicle before we take ownership.

    Paint / Clear Coat concerns

    Wlong01, I suppose you have pre 2016.5? I that they may have changed the paint quality from 2016.5. I appreciate all your comments guys, and I really like the car - I am kind of hung up on the paint. I will check around for PPF around the area. Keep the comments coming....

    Paint / Clear Coat concerns

    Good day everyone, I am in the last stages of purchasing a new CX-5 GT and see that there are complaints of the Soul Red paint, but I have seen other colors of the CX-5 with weak paint or at least clear coat. I'm really worried about the comments on the paint quality in this (and other) forum...

    Good day folks, I see that most of the complaints here are for the Soul Red, but I have seen other colors of the CX-5 with weak paint. I am looking to buy a 2018 silver one, but I'm really worried about the comments on the paint quality in this forum (and others). I called Mazda Canada and...
