I had a 2015 and I really liked it. I thought I hated the transmission and traded it in for a 2016 6 with a 6 speed manual but it turns out I hated the throttle response. My 6 exhibits the same laggy throttle response. hope they fixed that by now.
The Sport mode they added in the 2016 refresh on the 2.5L automatic options was an overkill correction for your concerns. 5% throttle = 40% of the tachI had a 2015 and I really liked it.

That's how all of the Skyactiv Drive transmissions are as far as lock up behavior. That 8 speed design should be pretty reliable hopefully, it's very similar in concept to the Mercedes 9Gtronic.It is something to get used to although they may have changed the programming since my 2017. The small torque converter is in use up to about 5 mph or so then it locks up.
Now they are moving towards the transmission without a torque converter.
I did the same.What made you buy the CX5 vs the CX50?
The CX5 has independent rear suspension whereas they cheaped out on the CX50 and gave it torsion beam. It’s so disappointing.I did the same.
To me, the CX-5 looked better, proven platform, and made in Japan. The CX-50 is fine, but I just liked the CX-5 better when side-by-side.
Porsche used torsion bars for a long time, front and rear. Not all bad.The CX5 has independent rear suspension whereas they cheaped out on the CX50 and gave it torsion beam. It’s so disappointing.
