2016 GT rolls while in Drive, engine off
#21
The torque convertor is a fluid coupling, no mechanical connection. If there is no oil pressure ( ie engine off) there is nothing to connect the transmission to the engine & therefore no engine braking/lockup.

You now know what you experienced is normal for all automatic transmissions equipped with torque converters. Yes, no?
#24
So that begs the question, how are you turning the car off and/or removing the key while "accidently" leaving it in drive? Either way, this is the normal function of any car with a torque converter.

Well there's a keyhole on the outside handles of the front doors. So call me crazy, but I'll bet there's a key hidden in the fob just like all previous model years.

Sorry, I didn't phrase the question correct (our 2016 Mazda3 has the same thing), what I should have asked is, "Can the 2016 CX-5 be started with a key?"
#28
It has a starter button; same as your 3. No key ignition.

For future reference, because of Mazda's small relative size, they do a lot of parts/feature sharing from model to model across the line-up. They may introduce a feature on one model first, but soon that same feature (often the same part number!) will appear on other models.
