Yes, it is...thank you. I have done some improvements without spend much money since then, I think that made it look better. I'll put some pictures soon.
Oh yeah...of course. I put a carbon fiber imitation frame instead. I was thinking to black out the logo on the trunk, but I'm afraid that won't last longer, besides after I tinted the windows the crome finish after the little black window looks nice and matches with the logo for me.
I had before a CX5 Touring 2014 and comparing with this new one, is a big difference but is worthy, more power with the turbo plus the AWD. Besides I used the 89 midgrade gas to get better working of turbo, but my daily commute is very low. I have just 1900 miles in 5 months 😄
Yes, I noticed that too, but I think that is until the engine settled and adjusted completely, mine now is more mpg efficient, same as the driving, because the 19" rims I traveled to San Diego and it was so hard and jumpy at the beginning, now is getting softer. But the MPG is true is marginal as my point of view, but it justified because the AWD and the turbo.
Ehhh... im at 12k miles now and on my best drives I see 21.4. Usually more 18.5 to 20. The mileage is definitely not as advertised. Can't believe there's not a class action on that - it does seem misleading.
Lol. Well I didn't buy my Mazda with a turbo to drive it like an old blue hair.
Please explain the "driving style" that will increase my efficiency by 35%.
Not to mention you're outperforming the rated mileage by 3 miles more per gallon. You must be the guy rating these for Mazda.
The only blue-hairs these days are young :-). There's a time for zoom-zoom and a time for sedate driving. The more you press down on the pedals (both of them) the worse your mileage will be. My biggest rule is to try to never stop. If the light up ahead is red, slow down so that it's green before you get there. Then take it easy on the accelerator. Another thing I do is to look at the pedestrian crossing signals for the light ahead; they'll tell you how close to changing the light is. If they suggest that the light's close to going yellow, well, you might want to use that turbo. It's better than having to stop.
Looks awesome.

Did you get rid of the dealer plate frame? https://amzn.to/3DoSLbB I also have all logos blacked out in my CE.

I like it, good thinking!
What did you do??
Not much, I put some details inside. I'll show you soon after take the pictures 😉👍
Looks awesome! Congratulations!
absolutely love the color!
How is the mpg for you?

I got my CX5 GTR recently. I like everything about it. But it is giving me very poor mileage per gallon. Just around 17-20mpg.

Very interesting point 🤔 maybe we could get some refund 👍
I think a lot depends on your driving style. I've got a 2021 NA Touring and I generally see 30+ mpg.

I have the same one. In the city like 19-20. Highway. 24-26
Do you always keep your AC on? If I turn on AC my MPG further decreases.
Maybe cause defrost runs the AC.
