Mazda Model Research: Stamford

Riley Mazda has sold cars from 75 Myrtle Avenue in Stamford since 1959, and the two models that leave that showroom fastest are the CX-5 and the CX-30. Both carry i-Activ all-wheel drive as standard equipment, which counts for more on an unplowed Fairfield County side street in January than any spec sheet admits. The guides below take each model apart trim by trim, then cover what servicing one costs and how Connecticut's tax math lands.
