    Tire dilemma - 2016 CX-5 GT

    Good for you. I'll have to replace mine at 1/2 your mileage and I can assure you I don't do burn outs. I check the pressure very frequently and I also rotated the tires twice in 14.5K so my conclusion is that the TOYO are junk and I'll pick another brand when I replace them. I expected to put...

    Tire dilemma - 2016 CX-5 GT

    His roads must be as "rough" as mine here in PA. I have logged 14.5K miles on my original Toyo tires since new in July 2015 and the yearly vehicle inspection yesterday revealed that I have only 5/32 left on the front and 6/32 left on the rear. I was not happy to hear that!

    The 2017 Grill

    The grille is fine but the thick chrome trim under it............ well, I don't care for it at all. To each his own.

    had to put the Hater-ration away when I saw this in person at the Tulsa Car Show

    I'll keep my 2016. I don't care for the longer snot, the wheels and the chrome trim around the grille and the back window of the 2017.

    The Japanese must believe that streets and parking spaces are wider in the US than anywhere else. <sigh>

    2017 Impressions, Noise Comparison and Our New 2016 GT

    In 2015, 47% of CX-5 owners identified themselves as members of Gen X (those born from 1965-1976) or Gen Y (1977-1994), That's interesting. Why do they focus on the 47% and not the other 53%? I'm a member of Gen W by the way.

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    Same here, styling wise. Not crazy about the longer snot, particularly the added piece at the end of the hood.

    Thanks. I'd prefer a door but this is better than nothing.

    Great idea! I'll ask a friend who has one.

    Still looking for a door for this thingy. <sigh> Without a door, it's pretty much useless except for holding dust like someone else said.

    Yep, that's exactly what I wrote. It's his deal, not ours. BTW, we were in NH & ME between Xmas and New Year. Loved it. Fell in love with Shipyard's Island Time IPA. <wink>
