Hey, I'm new!

[Jo_Bob6000]

Hey Everyone. My name is Joey, and I just picked up a new 2017 CX-5 GS today. Traded in my 2011 Rav4 for it. I have loved the CX-5 since they came out for the 2013 model year, but have especially loved the 2017 restyle!

I work for a Mazda dealer, I've been a parts advisor there for over 6 years.

Here she is in Sonic Silver! I think my son likes it a little (lol2)(lol2)

I still like Sonic Silver. Congrats. Welcome.

Welcome to the club! Nice to have an official "in" at the parts department.

Welcome. Fairly new myself, but long time mazda owner.

Welcome. A Sonic Silver owner myself. It’s a great color for the CX5.

Grey wheels work well with the Sonic Silver. The other color I've noticed those wheels work well with is machine grey. Not so much on the red!

Hi Joey! Welcome to the forum. I have a white GT. I love the silver as well! Nice pick! Being your in the parts department, does Mazda sell the upgraded wheels?

Welcome to my fellow Canadian. Toronto here.

Don't be surprised if people start asking you a load of parts questions and / or questions about the firmware upgrades. Myself included.

Congratulations but:
Bad mistake to state it here. Trust me. (getout)

I actually think we need more people working at dealers chime in more.

Oops, maybe I should have kept it a secret! haha. Well, in reality I work in the parts department for our collision shop, but I am technically part of the other department as well.

I can help with parts questions, but not so much about firmware, etc....I don't see enough of that stuff to know anything about it. But I will help with parts questions where ever I can!

Be prepared for the inevitable questions about when is Apple Car Play & Android Auto coming (wink)
