    Which year?

    I have a 2016.5 touring with sun roof and Bose system and I love it. I had a chance to drive 2017 model for a couple days while my cx5 was in for service and I was a not a fan. Great SUV but I felt like visibility was less than the prior design and I am not a fan of the new styling.

    FWD vs AWD??

    Like you, we get a few days of snow each winter here in Portland. I live on a steep hill and when snowed this year it was rock solid and did not even slip a bit. I went snow boarding at Timberline Lodge this winter and showed a friend how well it worked, on packed snow on a steep part of the...

    Thoughts on this 2016.5?

    I got a 2016.5 AWD with the bose/ moon roof that was CPO that was a dealer loaner. Had about 3000 miles it and I have been very happy with it. Paid just a little over $24k for it and like stated before, I get an extra year of warranty. I am not a fan of the new styling and hate the Ipod...

    Indicated MPG vs. Real MPG

    I think you need to track it several tanks since sometimes you might put a little more or a little less fuel on each fill up if you are one to round up the price once the pump clicks. I have not followed mine to much but my 2012 Mazda 3 was fairly close if I did a multi tank average.

    Better sound proofing for the CX-5 2016

    I have not driven a 2017 by my 2016.5 is quiet and our roads are noisy here in Oregon. My doors have double seals so I wonder if that was a change in 2016.5 from the 2016.

    No control when there is a few inches of snow

    Also people need to remember no matter how good the technology is or the AWD system is, nothing can defeat the laws of physics and if they need a vehicle to get through 6 feet of snow and and ice on a 60 degree slope, then they need to buy a snowcat.

    No control when there is a few inches of snow

    Over Christmas we got freezing rain and about a couple inches of snow. I live on a about a 20% hill and like you I did the start stop on the hill and had no problems getting going again.

    Looking to buy a used or CPO 2016 CX-5 GT or T

    I bought a dealer demo/loaner 2016.5 touring CPO in August and it had about 2500 miles. I got it for about $5k less than new and the CPO has an extra year of bumper to bumper warranty. If you can find a dealer demo that might be the way to go get basically a new car with a good discount and more...

    Maybe new CX-5 owner

    I had a 2012 Mazda 3 and I traded it in for a 2016.5 touring AWD and have not looked back. Mileage is not that much less than the 3 and the insurance was less. We had some snow and freezing rain here and I live a steep hill, my CX5 did not even flinch and it has the stock tires.

    Might buy a 2016 CX5 Touring....what should I know?

    I have a 2016.5 touring, not dual zone. If you go CPO you get an extra year bumper to bumper warranty on top of what is left of the original warranty, mine was a dealer loaner with 2000 miles and was sold as a CPO.
