I towed my wife's 2016 FWD CX5 on an Acme tow dolly. I only did that for four trips , but it was almost 6,000 miles on those trips. On the first trip of only about 70 miles, I went to a Harbor Freight store and bought the hardware I needed to adapt their tie down chains to run through the wheels on the CX 5 and eliminate having to attach the chains to the bottom of the vehicle somewhere.
When we went looking to buy a new vehicle for my wife, we knew we were going to tow it behind our MH. I wasn't concerned that the Mazda had to be towed on a dolly, since I had read on here and other sites that it was no big deal using a dolly. In hindsight (always 20/20) we should have bought something that was 4 wheels down towable.
There weren't any issues or problems with the Mazda going on or off the dolly, or while travelling. I just decided dolly towing wasn't for me and now tow an F150 4 wheels down.
