If I was buying a brand new car right now and wasn't going to get it professionally coated + PPF, I would probably do this:
- clay all paint
- spray down with some kind of iron remover (clay won't get that out)
- polish. Because it's new paint, there shouldn't be much in the way of deep...
My 2017 AWD has recorded 10.8L/100km over the last 3500km. This is ~20% highway driving.
I've got about 25,000km on the car but i'm not sure how to check its overall fuel economy. I'd guess it's pretty close to 10.8 though.
That is true - it does have an effect, and I think it kind of does what the engineers had in mind.
But in my experience it's still just as dumb/inconsistent regardless of the sensitivity set by the intermittent speed dial.
I've messed around with it a bit to make sure that I wasn't being...
What happened to the golf R?
If I was going to trade in my cx-5 today, that would be top of my list. I love my cx-5 but if I could go back in time I would consider the VW way more seriously. Maybe in a couple years I'll look at a trade in for a CPO golf R.
Macan S would be out for me as it's...

I got these thrown in by the dealer when I got my 2017. Two fronts and a single one for the rear that goes all the way across.
Perfect matts. Get them!
They are on the mazda Canada site as a cx-5 accessory.
Anecdotal experience not directly addressing the main question... But we have had some serious snow here this last week and my CX-5 has been great in the snow even on these all season Toyos.
Getting up and down snowy and icy hills has been absolutely uneventful. A number of cars stuck in...
Is that lighting's brightness hooked up to the brightness control dial in the guage cluster? I can't recall, but my guess is yes.
Try turning that down and see what happens.
I routed a USB-C cable from the centre armrest console through the tunnel and then up into the compartment under the climate controls.
When my phone was plugged in directly to the USB ports in the armrest console, it didn't have anywhere to site properly... just plopped awkwardly in the cup...
If we're still talking about the CX-5 here, I could see some people preferring a taller ride given that it's technically a 'utility' vehicle. But I bet most CX-5 buyers don't consider higher ground clearance a critical criteria when it comes to their 'utility' requirements. For these folks, I...
I just want to see his review because I'm interested in the car and I find his reviews entertaining and informative.
If I drive it myself I'll end up buying one or being sad that I didnt.
People can sometimes feel the need to defend their current "thing", whatever that might be, when a newer version of that thing is available and people are enjoying it. I think that's in our nature. Some take it too far by tearing down the new thing, and those people can be tough to ignore.
I...
