Brought it in for an oil change and rotate (oil change is free, since it was here in the shop, I let the lube jockeys rotate the rubbers)
We’ve had it since August and I haven’t really driven it since bringing it home for the first time. It’s got 8900 miles on it now.

Not my favorite Mazda on sale right now. But it is the best in it's class. You've got a grand touring, right? Tech pack in that bad boy?

Sport AWD. Only toy it has is the touchscreen/bluetooth radio

Which car would win in a race; your CX-5, or a Nissan GT-R with two misfiring cylinders?

What do you think of the seating/ride height? Comfy?

Is it the miata of the CUV world?

Good choice right there.

I have a friend who’s considering buying one. She’s also considering a CrossTrek (vomit), a Rav4, and possibly an Escape, but I don’t think she’s able to afford to option them up to where they’re any good. I wouldn’t have the Ford without the EcoBoost, and I wouldn’t have the CX-5 without the 2.5. Both of those options probably push it out of range.

In which gear would the GT-R start off in? How long is the race? Who has flat tires?

I have a secret love for the Crosstrek. You probably won’t find a CX-5 with the 2.0 anymore, except for rental fleets. Or if you want a manny.

Comfy. The butt bolsters seem flimsy and flexy, so wider people presumably can fit. Ride height is SUV-ish.

No, that would be an AWD Miata. With a backseat.

Maybe the fact that I live in Colorado and they are freaking everywhere has soured me on their looks. Maybe she’s better off buying used. Shes graduating college in May and looking for something to get her out of her 4runner.

I read that the hood flexes with driving. Is that true?

My friend traded in her 2013 Mazda3 for a 2014 CX5. They love it. I realllllly want a Mazda6 but waiting to see if they’ll move options around so I can get Xenon with the 6speed manual

I’m pretty sure you can with the 2016.... But then again its LED lamps now. I don’t pay enough attention to the sales documents that lay out all the trims and options.

I build one on their site every so often to check. Fun fact: you can’t build a 2015 or 2016 Mazda2 on the site, only 2014s
