Yep - and you'll STAY that way, unless or until a catastrophic $-repair comes up to bite you on the azz; then maybe you'll be KICKING yourself in said azz for NOT spending the $ on that piece o' paper... 2 1/2 years ago, my wife bought a certified 2009 MB AMG SL63. They gave her full retail on...

Gee, that's funny - I seem to have NO trouble at ALL w/my 2016 GT AWD...

Is ANY "insurance" worth it? Life insurance, health insurance, warranties on purchased items; like life itself, you pays your $ and you takes your chances. It's all about "peace of mind", and no one but YOU can decide if the cost of said peace of mind is "worth it"... FWIW, I bought it for...

Oh - so you don't HAVE it, but you "think" it would be a highly annoying feature... Well, as someone who DOES have it, and HAS toggled between BOTH settings WITH 3 other people IN the car, *I* can say that there IS a difference; but hey, what do *I* know...

I see SO many "complaints" about these things being noisy! I don't know what YOU guys came from (and maybe it helps being 59 and partially deaf, LOL), but *I* think the 2016 CX-5 is PLENTY quiet! It's AS quiet as my Isuzu VX was, quieter than my wife's Mercedes SL63, and quieter than my '69...

...or just switch it into "Sport" mode...

I have to say - after 3 days of driving/backing up with these Euro-spec rear headrests - the difference is DRAMATIC! Having come from an Isuzu Vehicross that was my DD for 6 years, I had gotten used to NOT having a functional rearview mirror, so it's taken me a few days to get USED to having...

At almost 60 years old, I've been wrenching on/restoring/restomodding vehicles for 47 years now. As I predicted ~8 years ago, vehicles have now attained the status of "major home appliances"; as such, they are approaching the same position as your washing machine or refrigerator. When I bought...

Another shout-out for Fendyman - got 'em today, and WHAT a difference! Look like they're a-POSED to look!

Well, my 2016 CX5 AWD GT is AS quiet or even quieter than my BMW X6 50i was - due mostly I think to the GIANT tires on the X6, which were quite noisy. The CX5 is no rocket sled, that's for sure - but I find that when I switch it to "Sport" mode, and/or shift it manually, that it's got plenty of...

Mine will be coming in to-DAY, thanks to Mssr. Fendyman - can't WAIT to shelve those SHOEBOX-SIZED US spec rear headrests! Is this guy GREAT or what?!

Now that I have defeated that annoying "beep-beep-beep" from the side monitoring system when you use the turn signals, my SINGLE "b****" is not having a remote opening-closing rear hatchback. When you pick up/drop off someone at the airport, it's an annoyance having to get out of the vehicle...

Good for you! I traded in a 2009 BMW X-6 on my 2016 AWD Touring - could NOT get rid of that thing quickly enough! Owned it a week; found out that the seller screwed me ROYALLY - it had a catastrophic oil leak from SOMEWHERE on the front of the engine - my tech gave me a $2,500 estimate for...

I went with the 7 year/100K mile (pretty much) bumper-to-bumper warranty offered by the dealer (3rd party, though) on my 2016 AWD GT CX-5, mainly because it does have quite a bit of (new to Mazda) technology; as such, it is largely untried/untested. Knowing that there is a PILE of electronic...

Thanks - I'll revisit the manual...

I don't think that there is an automotive navigation system worth a s****, no matter who the maker is! iPhone & Google Maps is the only way to go, IMHO; trying to futs around w/the Nav. system is an exercise in futility!

I have the same-equipped CX-5, and am seeing exactly the same results, for the record. I think you would literally have to "drive like there's an egg under your accelerator pedal" to get any different... Having said that, I'm coming from a L-O-N-G line of 89-91 octane FUEL HOGS, the best of...

Well, my Dad can beat up your Dad...

Well, *I* for one did MYRIAD research before I pulled the trigger on my 2016 AWD GT; fully loaded except for the Adaptive CC. Almost entirely "Made In Japan" was a big seller for me; the CX-5 replaced my very much loved 2001 Isuzu Vehicross that I owned for 6 years and had virtually ZERO...

OP - Did you ever get "satisfaction" on this request? If not, PM me and I'll shoot my (once used) set in the mail to you, 'cause that's the kind of guy I am...
