So far, I don't miss the CX-5. The part that sucks about only having a two-seater is when I go out with my co-workers or friends, and I can never really volunteer to do the driving. Makes me feel like a bit of a bum. I'll have to pick up a car with more seats once my family grows. I haven't...

That makes sense. That is a lot of testing to do, so EPA just regulates. I'm glad someone bothered to read it. Because, like I said, I didn't. :p

Mazda doesn't generate the MPG numbers, the EPA does. That being said, it's also worth noting that the EPA changed the way they estimate MPG numbers in 2008 to accommodate how people drive in the current decade. Comparing a post-2008 car's ability to match EPA estimate vs that of a pre-2008 car...

It's not an uncommon slang term of the current era. Dragonteeth has got the idea. lol. Point being, I agree with V8toilet and what others have said already: Numbers don't tell the whole tale. What matters most is how the car feels and how you feel when you're driving it. In fact, because most...

Church.

From a driving dynamics standpoint, of course it can't be compared. The available trunk space in the Miata is pathetic. lol. I took out the spare tire to free up a little more room and it's livable. Why? You thinking about joining the dark side? (shady) Here's a photo of the 1st gen Miata trunk...

Lesson learned. I ended up paying off the CX-5 and sold it already. Mike, relax. I'm not targeting your manhood. lol.

piotrek91, I'll send you a PM. In response to Mike, it is really classified as a motorcycle. But when I tell people about it, I call it a mini-bike as well. You're not alone in that people have a tough time with the concept of a motorcycle that is smaller and not highway legal. It's splitting...

Hey guys, OP here. Thanks for all of the input. They really helped me to make my decision. I take the experiences of other people as well as my own, and try to learn from them. I finally sold my CX-5 and cannot be happier. In all fairness to vast majority of other CX-5's on the road, the...

I think you hit the nail right on the head. The survey sample here is far from random.

Yes, Honda Grom. :) It's the Miata of bikes. The Grom is not fast, but it is just so much fun to toss around!

It sucks to have to admit it, but you (along with pretty much everyone else) are right... How I wish the 2.5 was an available option when I purchased in 2013. After reading some forum opinions, I'm giving myself 3 months to pay off the CX-5. I'll have to make a decision by the 3rd month what...

I've owned a few low-powered subcompacts prior to jumping into the CX-5. Lack of power never bothered me as those cars tended to be lighter and thus felt quite nimble to drive. The CX-5 has a power-to-weight ratio similar to a Honda Fit or Mazda 2, and I've driven both those cars and didn't mind...

Funny thing is that I've rented apartments where people have done exactly this. lol. I also remember seeing a youtube "tutorial" video that taught people to plastidip rims while still mounted on the car. This is madness!

This same stupid thing happened to me. Took me forever to figure out it was my sunglasses rattling in that damn thing.

I second this. When it comes to wheels, aftermarket will give you more bang for your buck.

This is strange logic.

I have a manual sport version. It doesn't bother me that the seat is not leather, but it would be great to have a leather wrapped steering wheel...

Did I accidentally say something about your mother? Sometimes, I do that. It just slips out.

The 2.0L manual transmission CX-5 suits my needs in every way, except for in the power department. I love the way it looks. Cargo capacity and handling-wise, it is also adequate. Add to that, it also checks the box for having a wonderful manual transmission. All of those reasons combined...
