Moving from a 2013 CRV EX to a 2016.5 CX-5 Sport. I really enjoyed the Honda and it was anvil-like reliable with 150k+ miles over 3 years exactly. I averaged around 25 mpg combined too.

Will take delivery of the CX-5 on Saturday. No sunroof and the seats are slightly better than the spine crushers on the Honda. Hope to gain a few mpg and continue the reliability streak.

New 2016.5 CX-5 Sport
White
$23,300

Trade-in 2013 CRV EX 154k miles $8500

I had another offer of $22,300 on a silver CX + $7500 for my car, so same difference. The other dealer wanted a $200 upcharge for white paint?


Dealer fees $699
+Tax + Tag + Title

 

Welcome aboard, congratulations on your purchase and the deal! Good luck with your future mods! Make sure to share with us some pictures of your new CX-5 when you have a chance.

 

It's going to be a fleet vehicle with about 1k+ miles per week traveling Florida highways and backroads.

Never had a problem with the Honda other than the driver's seat torture device. The CX I bought is a base model with no fancy electronics to mess up. I use a portable Sirius radio with a lifetime sub 95% of the time for entertainment. I stream YouTube the other 5%.

If you all had a choice would you buy another CX-5? My CRV was great, but they crapped it up. I know my next car with either be a RAV-4 or Tucson. I change every 2 to 3 years because of the miles.
