I'm looking to get a 2015 CX-5 Touring as well. Another user warned of Spiders?! Do you guys have any problems with that?
Thanks so much!
Just third hand info but I think it was like $150. That was mentioned on some review I watched.
My second tank results; 264.9 miles - 10.65 gal - 24.9 mpg - Probably 95% city driving. The average mpg on the dash display was not spot on, but very close at 24.8 versus gas pump math of 24.9. There must have been some changes somewhere in the dash fuel usage gauge for it to be so close. My 2013 was never, ever this spot on. Of course it is only two tankfuls.
Are the 2014's radio unit issues prevalent in 2015 as well?
The variation between your manual calculation and the Trip Computer is primarily caused by the inaccuracy of the figure provided by your manual calculations which relies upon filling to the exact same level each fill as well as the calibration of the pump. The trip computer knows how much fuel the engine has burned based on variables that have more accuracy than the combined inaccuracies of the fill level and pump calibration inaccuracies.
I know this from analysis of my fill records. Most of the variation averages out from tank to tank leading to the unavoidable conclusion that varying fill levels are the primary culprit.
Is there less wind noise from the "new style mirrors" than the old ones on the 2013? I have a 2014 with old style mirrors I am thinking of replacing.Got a new Touring on Monday 9/15. Turned in my 2013 Touring. Some thoughts. They have moved the advanced door locking system from the GT down to the Touring. Very handy. The shifter has done away with all the gates, it is now just a straight shot from Park back to Drive, with the manual off to the bottom left as before. It has the newer type of turn lights on the mirrors. Some one remarked that it would be nice now to be able to see the indicators from inside the car. Well not really, unless you have them folded against the side windows. Ah, the power, very nice. I never had a problem with the 155 hp one, but this is decidedly better. Of course among my vehicles have been a 1982 Jetta diesel with 52 hp, a 1985 Jetta Turbo Diesel with 68 hp, and a 2005 Golf TDI with 90 hp, so 155 hp always seemed like plenty, but you can never have enough hp, right. The suspension seems to take bumps a lot smoother, and quieter than before. The radio sound is better, at least to my ears. I went from the Ice Blue Mica to Blue Reflex Mica, which to me has kind of a bluish shale look about it. My 2013 had a lifetime average over 28,000 miles of 29.0 mpg, so it'll be interesting to see how this one does. The 29 mpg figure was based on 98 fill-ups. All in all I am very pleased with the 2015.

I just changed a 2013gtawd for 2015gtawd myself yesterday.. The engine sounds b (esp) with the c/s exhaust on and performs much better, very worth imo
