 If you are interested in a fun car to drive that gives you confidence and pure joy, this is the one for you.  I found what great cars Mazda was making when we purchased a 2016 CX-5 GT.  My 2009 Corvette was just not getting driven as much as it should.  Kind of hard to open up 430 HP around Denver except 0-70.But this car gets used more and is more fun to drive.  Great feeling of control.The GT version does not have differential rear end but I'm not cranking or sliding the corners either.  I find the exterior looks great and the interior feels like high end materials. Don't miss my Vette at all, though it was pretty repair free car.
