The AWD system has kindof shown its arse in the snow/ice. As to the CX5, they fixed cold weather limp mode and made it stiffer and better shifting. I'll trade the bit of power and efficiency for a better AWD.The last I read you loved the RAV4 and said it was pretty much superior to the CX5. I am surprised you would jump back into a Mazda with the same tech as what you traded in rather than waiting for the new CX-70.
The CX70 will use cheaper parts from non-Japanese suppliers to cut costs, per Mazda, and be a first year model. No TY! It will probably weigh about 43-4500# as well, as it's a 3-row capable chassis. That means around 300bhp just to break even with current CX5 turbo.
