I have an 07. boring even with the 5 sp. engine has no torque and mine failed after just 72k. Mazda didn't help @ all...I'm at 152k with the 2nd motor and once it dies I'll not buy Mazda again.
have an 05 with 225k miles on the original motor and trans. I am getting a 2016 cx-5 when it come in hopefully in 2 weeks. I know 2 people that have the new 6 and absolutely love them.
'15 and '16 are pretty much the same for the CX-5. Note: I hate SUVs, but the CX-3 is pretty bada$$ when I saw it at the carshow
