Hi all,
Glad to be part of the forum! We just purchased a 2014 CX-5 yesterday. It's coming in from Columbus, OH...about 2 1/2 hours away so we are taking delivery on Monday.

Here are the main specs...

AWD Auto Touring pkg
2.5L engine
Sky Blue exterior, black cloth interior
Bose and Tech package
Moon roof

We went back and forth between this and the CR-V. It was a hard decision. The CR-V was a little roomier and seemed to have a little more power. The CX-5, however is sportier and much more fun to drive! Really like the dual transmission mode and the blind spot warning. The only thing that almost was the deal breaker was the hump in the floor in the 2nd row. (The CRV did not have that). In the end the CX-5 was more to our liking.

We bought the extended warranty so it's bumper to bumper for 6 years/100,000 miles.

The last new vehicle we purchased was a Chevy Venture way back in '99. I own an 84 Monte Carlo SS and my son owns a 91 Saturn. This in effect is our first true foreign car.

Looking forward to browsing the forums.

 

Welcome! Sounds like we have nearly the same CX-5 except mine is Soul Red Mica with a tan interior (I would have preferred a black interior but they didn't have any with the tech package). This is my first foreign and non-GM car and I'm very impressed with the initial quality.

 

Bought a CX5 3 weeks ago, seems like a great SUV, have all the options. Good luck on new CX5

 

welcome to the forum. congratulation for your new car

 

Sounds like a happy CX5 Owner. My wife and I chose theMazda for the same reasons, a little more sporty look. Tool or first Mini vacation put 1400 miles on it, ran great. Would eb interested in what extended warranty you purchased. I am i b the market for one.

Thanks
Tom

 

Welcome aboard.... Own a Tribute and love to drive it. It handles like a car. If the CX-5 handles anything like it looks, you should have a blast driving it.
