    Just Upgraded to a 2014 Grand Touring

    Yeah my wife said we're stuck with our new one, but... that's fine I'm much more satisfied with the car. Haven't seen too much of a decrease in mileage so far, only had a few weeks on it.

    Just Upgraded to a 2014 Grand Touring

    Seems a bit harsh, but OP you're not alone. I too traded in my 13 for a 14. I had a touring and traded it in with just under 20k on it as well. I bought another touring but got the tech package this time instead. I ended up taking about a $10k hit when all was said and done and don't get me...

    Navigation Voice Control Gone - Car thinks it's in Canada

    Yeah that's exactly what it does, I'll pull the card again today and see if that works. I wonder what could be causing it? Did it all of the sudden just start to happen one day?

    2014 CX-5 Hood TSB?

    I could be wrong, but the hood issue is because of the sheet metal being so thin. Go through a car wash and watch the hood as you drive through the blowers, quite interesting the first few times. The mirror is something you'll get used to, it happens on my '13 as well and wasn't sure if anyone...

    Navigation Voice Control Gone - Car thinks it's in Canada

    Update for anyone that cares, took the car in to the dealer today and they were all like... uh... we don't know. They guy is now calling Mazda and will call me with an update.

    Navigation Voice Control Gone - Car thinks it's in Canada

    Honestly it wouldn't piss me off that much, but at start up it gives this error message saying "voice control navigation is not available in this selected country" like 5 times in a row. I'll be taking it to the dealer this week for the 15k tuner anyway, so we'll see what they have to say.

    Live traffic updates?

    "google maps showed each road solid red (barely moving.) Tomtom updated to say 45 minute ride with an extra 5 min delay. Took me 2 hours. Some roads were even totally stopped in a standstill because of accidents and it had no clue." Agreed, I am buying a dash mount for my iphone and using...

    Navigation Voice Control Gone - Car thinks it's in Canada

    Has anyone experienced a loss of voice control in the navigation system immediately upon start up? After the car starts the voice prompt starts screaming about not being able to use voice control in this country and I lose all voice control through nav. Nothing changed on my end it just started...

    Upgrading existing Bose System speakers

    don't quote me on this, because I have no experience with this model or bose's auto products, but for all of their home theater products they use proprietary connections for everything, so you may run into issues connecting bose speakers/amps to non-bose products. again, don't quote me on it but...

    Installed TomTom vs. $150 Garmin w/ lifetime maps

    I really like my installed unit. Having had a window smashed in on another vehicle to steal a gps I much prefer the built in option, I also paid for it up front as an add on so it's built in to my payment.

    what other car(s) did you consider?

    we drove the rogue (damn cvts) mazda 3 sedan, and a santa fe. I was actually impressed with the fit and finish of the hyundai.

    Transmission: Manual vs. Auto with Manual Mode

    I mean... nothing will replace the freedom of a stick, but this thing is smooth. think of it this way... if you ever are drunk and someone needs to drive you home... no worries! In all seriousness, my decision was easy. The wife needs to be able to drive this once the snow starts and the manual...

    Hood and Mirror Vibration

    Both are noticeable on mine, but as previously stated it isn't a big deal. My only (albeit slight) concern for that if it dents easily. Lot's of heavy brown things roaming at night around me...

    The biggest test for my CX-5

    My fiancee got 33 mpg (awd-touring) with two of her friends and luggage on a trip from milwaukee to northern michigan (not the U.P. but up and around somewhere in alcona county). Those roads are all 55 though so that had a lot to do with it, but I have been unable to reach that since. I don't do...

    Blue engine cover...

    My cx-5 is black and I don't think it looks too bad, but I could see the red being a bit strange. Every other grey-scale color would look fine though.

    Any Complaints (hopefully all minor)

    I noticed this too, I just got the all-weather floor mats (oem) and was ripping out the cheap ones and I thought I was going to rip the carpet. It is very, very thin.

    Any Complaints (hopefully all minor)

    Never thought of it that way... it wouldn't matter too much though in the long run because if every car is doing it to a certain degree, its an apples to apples comparison if you're looking at a used vehicle as a replacement. would also be interesting to see if you did a side by side gps...
