Live in north TX region. I asked for a quote from my local dealer for a red GT Reserve, and got the following: MSRP - $37880 Add-on package(window tint, door edge seal, wheel lock) - $1800 cannot opt out TTL - $1851.38 Military discount - -$500 Total - $41531.38 Really kicking myself for not...

Agree. Not optimistic about AMD being competitive in the GPU front anytime soon... However, GPU pricing is actually slowly shifting back to normal; aka before the mining craze. SSD pricing is also improving; you can get a 1TB 860EVO for less than $200 now. That's not bad. My only gripe now is...

damn, man... May I ask what they said? I'm just preping for my CX-5 purchase later this year and curious to know what they lied about. For ex: A friend of mine whom I have been chating with (we both want to get CX-5) was told there is no CD in the the 2018 model and not to worry about long term...

Probably her ex's car...

Love that savagegeese channel. I don't spend a whole lot of time on YouTube, so I had no idea who he is until reading this thread earlier this year. Dude knows his stuff. In comparison, some other channels sound like its reading straight from a brochure.

That's true. Let alone the 1080, my 1070 is having a even harder time supplying high FPS 1440p game play. Besides certain titles, I typical have to turn down details to boast frame rate. To me, it's about finding that perfect medium. Staying on top is very costly... GTX1080 back in 2016 when I...

i5-6600K (overclock to 4.3Ghz) 16G DDR4 2400 GTX 1070 1TB SSD (850EVO) I was criticized all the way up to high heaven when I decided to upgrade mid-2016 for not wanting to wait for Kabylake and Ryzen. But sure as hell glad I upgraded then. I paid roughly $70 for my memory, $350 for GPU, and...

Congrats on the new car brother! Would you mind sharing some pictures of the pinstripe? I will be getting a 2018(Sports as well, not liking the 19' rim) around summer and just like all as much options as I can. Thanks!!

Agree with the sentiment. It could be entirely true that Mazda had figured out a viable solution to not repeat the disaster GM and Honda went through. But why put it on their high volume seller? CX-5 brings home the big buck now and Mazda simply cannot afford to screw it up. CD does not have a...

I know what you mean because that's exactly what happened to me this past holiday season. Some jacka$$ in a Escalade backed into my car in a Target parking lot and just took off. Damage was minimum, but the impact left a good paint chip, roughly 2" in diameter on my rear bumper. I normally take...

Not trying to pour salt to the wound, but I as well would like to see the condition of your hood. I love the red metallic color, and it was my color of choice when I began researching. But if the paint adhesion is really as bad as this thread suggests, I'm going with another color this summer...

Just thought I piggy-back on this thread to ask the question. I'll be getting a CX-5 (probably Sport+ i-activsense) this summer. I am also thinking about getting some add-ons (i.e. fog light, front+rear bumper trim... etc.) with it. Did you guys purchase and install those at the dealer during...

I live in the DFW region as well and will be pulling the trigger on the 17 CX-5 perhaps summer-ish time frame. Seems like Town North Mazda in Richardson is the best one around Dallas. At least according to Google reviews. Sad to hear all dealers around are mediocre... Which one did you...

She's not alone. My mother was also one of those people who wanted to upgrade to a Lexus NX from a Toyota Rav4. But the grille design this generation has absolutely turned her off...

Bro, you summed this up NICE!! I'm pretty much in the same mindset as you. Coming from a vehicle with next to no computerized tech, it is hard to gauge how much of those I should adopt. My minds says minimal, and that's probably what I will do. Seems like even the Sport trim will have the 2.5L...
