lol perhaps, or you could just be imagining things. Sounds more like torque converter lockup to me

A “good” deal (not great) would be 10% of msrp minus rebates. So if the car is 33k msrp, I’d want at least 3k off and then another 1250 rebate before fees. So yeah I’d say you should be able to do better.

Same here...I haven’t been able to tell and I’ve tried. Wish our ‘19 had the display that shows when CD active like the later cars. If nobody told me about the CD, I’d never know our cx5 had it.

Yup, file a claim. And if your rate goes up a little at renewal, raising deductible will counteract the increase.

‘19 touring that got CD software update around 6k...now at 39k miles. No problems at all. Enjoy your new car!

To answer OP, awd model has a shorter final drive. So higher rpm for same speed/gear as fwd, and therefore more engine braking.

Generally, 10% off sticker minus any incentives is a really good deal

Love the clean 5 spoke look of the pf05...just couldn’t bring myself to spend the dough and went with rx8’s. Great choice!

I had them powder coated and yes they’re super easy to clean. Running 235/60/18 tires that barely clear the front struts, but no spacers, rings, etc. They bolt right up with stock lugs as if they came factory

You’ll be fine with that size tire with lower offset wheel. Need to find a pic, but we’ve got powder coated rx8 wheels on our ‘19 at only 21 lbs per wheel. Benefit to these wheels is they are the same centerbore (so no centering rings) and can use stock lug nuts. 50mm offset would necessitate...

Touring with package is the best value...it’s what we bought for that very reason. That being said, would have bought a GTR or Sig if given the chance to redo.
