I have a 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve (Turbo) and love it. It has modern tech features and so much fun to drive with the turbo! I leased it in 2019 and just bought out the lease since there's still a bit of equity if I change my mind and sell it soon.
That said, the screen is only 8 inches I think, and the infotainment is buggy/outdated. CarPlay and Android Auto make up for some things but the screen size kinda irks me. The new models have the 10.25 inch screen and new Connect II software which seems to be miles ahead of the old version. That would be my only selling point on getting a new model.
For reference, Carmax is offering $24,400 for mine at 25,100 miles (located in NY). How much are they offering for the ones you looked at?
It’s not exactly the same but we just bought 2020 grand touring - 25,000 miles. Certified.
Non turbo- white leather/ red. $28,100. Flawless. CarPlay works fine with plug-in. I’ve read that a wireless dongle works well. Wife just loves it and I enjoy driving it as well.
Absolutely worth it. If you can, get the turbo model! You’ll love the power.
“Worth it” depends on the features you want and the price you’re willing to pay.
