    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    The rerelease of Sgt. Peppers came out last Friday, with both the DVD audio and the Bluray audio discs in the box set. They were not "short lived", they are still going on. While not everyone is an audio file, Mazda is unnecessarily knocking out a segment of the market by not leaving the...

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    I'm glad that you "get it" regarding the difference betweeen a DVD and an MP3 audio exeperience. I hope that Mazda does bring them back in the US. The sound from the 5.1 is strikingly better! I played around with the settings the other day, when playing some 5.1 Talking Heads. I'm going to be...

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    This won't be the case in Japan, where people still value the physical media over MP3 and data. And again, the computer wouldn't have the same sound that the DVD player brought.

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    I'm saying that I'm happy to have a cd/DVD player to hear my music. Other regions have the sound system in the 2017, but not the player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    I am happy with it it. And yes I do. I am aware that several other in North America were upset that their cars do not have CD/DVD players. I hope Mazda rethinks this for the future.

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    I'm not watching a DVD. I am listening to the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album on a DVD with 5.1 sound, which is normally only possible on a home system, unless, of course your car has a DVD player (like the Japanese version of the 2017 CX-5) and surround system. As mentioned elsewhere, there are...

    2017 CX-5 Japan advantages!!!! (Beatles related)

    Stuck in my car because I got into the driveway during the middle of Good Morning Good Morning and I had to hear the rest of the new 5.1 DVD of Sgt. Peppers on my car's Bose surround system. Having the CD/DVD player makes this possible and this new DVD 5.1 sounds amazing and spacious; whereas...

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    Mazda had a premium brand for years in Japan, the Eunos. They won't be doing it again. They will be pushing most of their models more upscale here, as I am guessing that they will globally. The guy you were talking with thinks Cadillac makes better cars than Mazda? His problem. Mazda Japan...

    Thoughts on 16 vs 17

    The vehicle is quite stable, I drive it on the expressways here at 140kph, with occasional stretches of 160kph. And I don't notice any loud wind noise.... seems fine.

    Article about diesel

    This. I've never even checked the dipstick on either my 2014 or my 2017 diesel. Never had a single issue with either one. I put in fuel and go. Every six to eight months I brought the 2014 in after it's initial one month check up. I brought the 2017 in for it's one month check up last...

    Thoughts on 16 vs 17

    I think that anyone who prefers the old interior to the 2017 hasn't actually been in the new one. The increase in quality is so apparent, but I don't think the photos do it justice. And we think the ride is much more responsive.

    2017 Horn

    The 2017 horn has some meat to it, especially compared to the 2014.

    Roof rack for the 2017.....

    Yes - this. Just wondering when it will be available from other sources besides the dealer. Not cheap. I'm sure it will be cheaper directly from Inno or Thule (have never seen Yakima in Japan).

    Roof rack for the 2017.....

    Not the case for 2017. Sorry can we keep this 2017.

    Roof rack for the 2017.....

    Sorry. I think this will become confusing. The 2017 has a different system than the previous models. Perhaps you can search that out not on this thread. This thread is pretty much for the 2017. Sorry. I'd say the same thing to someone who posted a CX3 question here.

    Well this time, looks like its for real guys

    My main counterpoint is that folks should drive one before they criticize or praise the vehicle. To my knowledge, the diesel CX5 hasn't been available in the US yet. I think people will be pleasantly surprised. I'm at a loss as to the fuel differences, but I do know that the majority of the...
