    No the 2014 (not even the first year 2013) is NOT Ford influenced.
    It has the first fully in-house designed drivetrain and suspension/steering geometry, the SkyActiv brand of engineering.
    Ford had no partnership with any aspect of the CX-5. In fact, the CX-5 is the launch model of Mazda's independence from Ford.
    Mazda now partners with Toyota for all leasing, loans and extended warranty. Their technical partnership is limited to ad hoc engineering and production consulting.

    I have the same thing but the stormy blue Micah color. Great motor, efficient on gas, decent pickup for what it is. AWD system is actually very good, handles the snowstorms in the northeast. 6spd transmission shifts smooth as butter, sits at 75-80 mph comfortably at 2600 rpms. Great car. 130k no issues so far, shooting for 250k

      @@hennybeauty6643 In December of 2022 I traded it in with 165K on it. It ran great but being in upstate ny with the winters and salt it really started to rust up underneath, random parts needed to be replaced. But most importantly it wasn’t the engine or transmission, they ran flawlessly. If I was down south I’d still have. I bought a 2022 Corolla SE, it’s a great car, but sometimes I do miss the space and awd of the Mazda. The CX-5 is wonderful, the first gen is the best in my opinion. Got me through college, couple internships, some big snow storms, and my first year commuting to my job (120 miles round trip.) Just make sure it’s been taken care of, and if I’m correct the newer ones have an optional turbo motor, I’d steer clear of it. If it has the 2.5 I4 motor you’ll be just fine! Best of luck to you!

    Nice job, Zach! Sadly, you can only get a manual transmission in a FWD version of Sport (base or base trim). With this CUV being the sportiest to drive among competition, it’s a loss that one couldn’t have it loaded and with Manual trans. The 2017 and on do not come with manual transmission period. 😢

    Really interesting to hear how in the US the '18 is around the same pricepoint as the '14. In my country we're talking more then double the price difference between those two.

    Old on looks better. Had a first gen Mazda 3 hatch and loved that car for its versatility and handling...but would like more ground clearance and awd. Seems like they made this utilitarian hatch for someone like me.
