I also drive a CX-5. When I test drove it, one of the things that stood out to me was how it felt "heavy" when taking your foot off the gas. I guess that was just the engine breaking that I wasn't used to on my previous vehicle. Over the last year I've averaged 30-31mpg (mostly highway), which I don't consider too bad for an AWD compact SUV.

I can also feel when the converter locks up when accelerating. Particularly when the engine / AT are cold the acceleration is not ideally smooth because of this (well, it is still much smoother than I can do with my other car with MT).
