This is a first. Never heard it described as "cheap" feeling. Not sure what you drive normally, but the CX5 has consistently been rated as most luxurious of the class. Maybe it was the trim you got. 186 hp is not much.I drove a 2018 CX-5 for two weeks why my car was being repaired from a collision. I really wanted to like that car but It seemed to have some short comings. It was the standard 4 cyl and really lacked power. It strained and was loud trying to get up the half mile steep hill to my house. The steering was not the greatest on the highway and felt light. The build was definately on the tinny side and many things seemed cheap. I was really glad to get out of that car when time was up. Now don't get me wrong, I am not bashing the car. They are very reliable and get excellent gas mileage. The car just did not have what I like in a vehicle. If your parents are happy with it I am sure that it will serve them well.
It was a rental. So probably the lowest trim model.This is a first. Never heard it described as "cheap" feeling. Not sure what you drive normally, but the CX5 has consistently been rated as most luxurious of the class. Maybe it was the trim you got. 186 hp is not much.
My 2018 CX-5 is naturally aspirated, not a turbo. If there's a way to see a display showing CD activity, I'd love to know about it. Pretty sure no such display exists for a 2018 CX-5 sold in America. I think I've seen forum posts about such a display in 2018 European models and perhaps even American models made in the most recent year or two.Is yours (or the one you speak of) a Turbo? If so there is no CD, and perhaps no such "screen"...
Yes, it definitely does have CD.Mulligan, does yours have CD?

The only issue is the cylinder deactivation needed a software update. Otherwise super reliable.If you own or are familiar with Mazda, are there any specific issues with the 2018 CX-5 that I should know about before purchasing one? Looks like my parents need a car and I have read good things about Mazda over the last few years. But each model has its own problems across any given brand. So would like your thoughts.
Also just read about rust being an issue. Since we are in the NE, that would be of particular interest to me.
Not an ideal time to buy a car, but they are in a bind and not much we can do about that.
Will also get a Mazda forum and ask there.
Thanks!
Were the pre 2017 non SkyActiv? Can you explain your comments re asymmetrical cylinder? What is that? Is the crankshaft centreline offset relative to the cylinder centrelines plane?The engine also saw some updates including a new offset crankshaft, updated pistons and rings, asymmetrical cylinder, and the new G Vectoring Control among others.
