Nice MPG.
Off topic: Drove around for a week in SLC back in January. SLC has got to have the scariest drivers I have ever seen, LOL!
Huh?
I think KAPS is making a joke.

Since I need a manual I have put the 2016 CX-5 back on my list. Went to dealer today to check out the interior of the sport (no manuals on this lot). They had 35 of them still! This surprised me. He told me the 2017 wouldnt be available for a few months, but I'm not sure I'm buying that one...
What do you mean "need?"
You have a medical condition? ��[emoji23]
Cool, yeah those are the only differences right? The audio system as welll as the 2.0L? You still get bluetooth with that audio system right?I support your quest for a Manual! I'm thinking the biggest difference would be the lack of MazdaConnect (command knob & infotainment touch display) on a Sport Auto vs Sport Manual. Am I wrong? I know that all the manuals only have the radio that has knobs & a seven-segment type display. Obviously 2.0L only as opposed to 2.5L, but I'm assuming you know that. If you have any questions, I'm a recent manual owner myself. Hoping to welcome you to the family!
Yes, actually, my mental health depends on it...What do you mean "need?"

Good, 2.5L gets 14 mpg on highway speeds. That is a bit better.
I think the study says red or white is the safest and all others colors are equal, even silver. And there are others that refute the whole thing.Yes. If Grey wasnt the most unsafe car color - I would go for it, but since it is - Silver all the way.
BTW, I have the same medical condition (restless left foot when driving) and picked up the 2016.5 Sport MT after I learned the 2017 would not have a MT. I did consider waiting a bit and picking up 2017 Canadian MT model in Ottawa, but though it would be too much trouble to bring it in the US.
Got 3300 off MSRP with 1800 from Costco and 1500 from Mazda.

Think of it - if you are moving houses, are going on long trips with friends - unless all know how to drive manuals your car becomes a liability. Lets not even add medical emergencies where AT is better.
That thought is scary, isn't it?I don't consider it a liability. I have never traveled with friends on long trips where they drove nor do I know anyone who does. Considering that something simple like a flat tire can render a vehicle immobile, I don't think my choice of a manual transmission is a consideration regarding medical emergencies. Your position supports self-driving cars without steering wheels.

Well I'm one person who lets my friends drive. I drove from Minneapolis to Edmonton. About a 1,200 mile and change drive and 19 hours. I drive until I get tired and switch. This is why I won't ever go stick. Then you have valet parking where more and more people don't know stick. I started asking last year. Out of 5 times I used valet parking, two (One at a restaurant, and one at a hotel downtown) didn't know, but they had other staff who did. Stick might be more fun, but its can be a PITA.....IMHO.
