    Used 2016 CX-5 GT

    Hello. The Honda link app for android is useless (at least for the crv). I uninstalled it right away. Still checking out the infotainment system. There are some hiccups with AA specifically when using waze. But for the most part it is awesome.

    Used 2016 CX-5 GT

    Hello. I picked up the EX 2017 today. I must say I am impressed for sure. In comparison 2017 CX-5 I test drove definitely was more engaging on the road. That sport mode is so cool. The 2017 EX is definitely better than the 2016 EX in that department but I think the CX5 beats it as far as...

    Used 2016 CX-5 GT

    Thanks all. I could have likely gotten the CX5 for a little less but really not much (IMO). I closed on the Honda EX for $ 26,500 and got $ 6K for my CX9. The EX just ticked all the right buttons with "me". Android auto is a big deal for me where it is not for others. I get that. Even...

    Used 2016 CX-5 GT

    Thanks all. I just signed on a 2017 CRV EX.. For just another $2100 I got a brand new vehicle. I did go mid trim level but the Honda gives so much more in that level. I will truly miss my Mazda. Thanks everyone for all the support and guidance.

    Sanity check on cx9

    Thanks Thanks very much for this response. I believe I have upped my game a bit and am going to see what I can find new. I have not even looked at the Mazda 6 yet. I will take a look. Again, Thanks!

    Hello Everyone...MANY apologies for my lack of response. For some reason I did not receive emails that these posts were happening to my original thread. Thank you all so much for your very thorough and honest opinions. So here I am on Sunday night. I spoke to the dealer on Friday and they...

    Sanity check on cx9

    Hello all. I need a sanity check. I have a cx9 with 128k miles on it. I have been having an issue where the 4wd light is on all the time. A mechanic looked at it and said the rear differential needs to be replaced because the wire connecting is sheared off. I have posted on this before and it is...

    Used 2016 CX-5 GT

    Hello All. I have a 2010 CX-9 GT with about 128K miles on it. Other than the cracked transfer case issue at 95K (Mazda replaced no charge for parts) I am currently fighting the 4WD light on issue caused by the cable broken into the rear diff. Plus the CX9 really ate wheel bearings...

    4WD Light on all the time

    Thanks Puma...I might actually do that. The one mechanic I took it to would not but I have a new guy who might be able to do it. I also heard people going to junk yards to get parts like this. My situation is that I need a rear bearing, new brakes as well as this part so I guess I need to...

    Considering new CX5 - Nervous with last CX9 experience

    Thanks everyone for your posts. I am still on the fence here. I did test drive the CX5 and it is an awesome ride. I am now into that mode where others seem to find themselves comparing the Honda CR-V with the CX5. Along those lines I was actually considering the 2014 or 2015 models via used...

    4WD Light on all the time

    Thanks. I did see that thread but I am not a mechanic and would not have such tools to fix it.

    Considering new CX5 - Nervous with last CX9 experience

    Hello All. i have a 2010 CX9 that has been relatively reliable and has 123K Miles. Had the cracked transfer case issue and the bearings would get eaten up all the time. Perhaps because it was so heavy. Anyway, I am nervous about getting another Mazda but that CX5 looks so nice and...

    4WD Light on all the time

    Hello All. I have a 2010 CX9 Grand Touring. 123K Miles on it. At about 95K miles I fell victim to the cracked transfer case issue. To Mazda's credit they replaced the case even though the extended warranty for this issue was 90K. However, now my 4WD light is on solid. I took it into a...
