    Are ya'll sticking with synthetic oil?

    No need to perform a full oil change if that's your concern. Simply replace the oil filter at shorter intervals and top the engine off with the same amount that was in the filter.

    These aren't the droids you're looking for.

    Obviously not a smart move in terms of using your money wisely.

    I feel so stooooooopid!

    What the OP experienced is called lack of dealer prep.

    4k RPM rev limiter

    Probably there to prevent money shifts and accidentally grenade the engine.

    Great post OP. Hopefully this will help other people get what this vehicle's all about.

    Any Complaints (hopefully all minor)

    This thread serves no other purpose than to create this negative environment with no useful information on how to address these so-called "problems". Perhaps this thread should be locked, and it would be much better to open separate threads that deal with the specific most reported issues...

    Motor Trend compares SUVs

    Indeed. Can you say kaboom?

    Timing Belt or Chain?

    Yes, it's a chain.

    Brake dust

    What brake dust? The CX -5 dust is negligible. You should see my car's wheels when they're squeaky clean, and drive for 15 miles.

    Motor Trend compares SUVs

    Big deal, so it didn't finish first. If anyone wants a truck that can do burnouts and gets 8 miles to to the gallon, buy a Raptor.
