I bought my first Mazda in 1999, a 2000 Protege and have been hooked ever since. What followed was a 1999 Millenia(totaled), then a 2004 Mazda6 replaced it. I got rid of the Protege and traded the Mazda6 for a 2008 MS3 and 2008 Mazda5, both brand new off the lot. The best cars we've ever had. 8 years later we decided it's time to upgrade again. I bought a 2016 Mazda6 and decided to trade in the Speed and Mazda5 for a 2016 CX-5. I've been part of this community since 2002 and I just mostly lurk. I just wanted to share the upgrade with you all. I'm not doing any mods to these, I think I'm done with that after everything I did with the Speed. I'm sure I'll get another 8 years with these before it's time to upgrade again. And yes, we love silver lol.
I especially like the silver which is so easy to maintain as the silver hides the dirt very well! Many times I don't need to wash the vehicles for several months! Of course both my wife and I like silver exterior too. The only thing to our Sonic Silver CX-5 is there's only totally-too-dark black interior available for silver exterior whereas we've been getting gray interior for all other silver vehicles we bought new.
