    Tire research paralysis

    I*ve owned and driven a lot of miles on both the Continental Pure Contacts and the General Altimax RT43 and for me the Generals are every bit the tire the Continentals are, usually for a good bit less. Wet traction is the same = very good. If I could get the Generals for $100 less for 4 I*d...

    Caution - Piano Black Trim Pieces

    Got quote of 80-160 for xpel film application on b pillars from pro shop. I*m going to try doing my own door sills and upper rear bumper, after I see how those jobs go maybe I*ll try the b pillars.

    2018 GT Stainless Steel Interior Bling

    Love this too. Stick on w 3m tape? How does it look close up? Does it look quality, like it*s oem piece?

    Backup Camera Default

    Just playing in the driveway, in/out of the garage, etc, today trying to figure out how all the cameras work. I also think you cannot change the default because the default is determined by what the sensors *see*. If there is an object, you get the 360 view. If nothing there, it gives basic...

    Show Gear in Active Display?

    Really liking the Active Display. At first I thought Id turn it off as soon as I got home but its grown on me big time. Wife wondered if theres a way to get it to display gear youre in while in Sport mode? Would be nice to not have to look at speedo cluster info. There seems to be no...

    Caution - Piano Black Trim Pieces

    I had thought about that (or an aftermarket maker doing something maybe in carbon fiber?) but will try to keep the piano black nice first. The piece around the shifter would look slick in the same *whatever* wood sliver that*s on the dash.

    Last night my wife told me...

    Fwiw I do think the 5 runs small, and we (briefly) considered the 9 but... we don*t need any more space than the 5 has. We wanted to move from our Accord to something more versatile, awd, upscale, and above all...fun to drive. Imho we got that in spades. Of course our other vehicles are an 06...

    Last night my wife told me...

    I LOVE MY CAR! Some perspective, she never gave one damn what car she drove. As long as it had heated seats she was fine with it. If it only had 3 wheels she wouldnt have noticed. Her last two cars were a Nissan Altima (120k on the clock when totaled) and a Honda Accord (traded for the CX-5).

    Question for turbo owners: what octane do you use?

    For +25hp it*ll be 93 for me. At least as long as gas prices stay low.

    Caution - Piano Black Trim Pieces

    Just a word of caution... that super shiny piano black finish (outside b pillar, around shift lever) scratches like a bugger. Even just when washing/wiping you*ll easily cause tiny micro swirls so be super careful. My daughter has a 17 5 GT that*s really bad from using ppv car washes and the...

    19 w AA & AC. Move usb from armrest box to console tray?

    Stoopid idea putting USB port for phone connection in the armrest box. Thinking about doing something to move it to the console tray under the stack, even if its just snaking cable under the console (at least until out of warranty). Have it pop out of the console trim - maybe finish it off with...

    What trims have 'Walk Away Locking"?

    I have it enabled but one more strike and it*s out. So far have had to go back inside from the garage twice to get the fob so I could unlock just to grab something out of the car. Having it lock, almost immediately, all the time, every time, is kinda a pain in the rump. Manual locking with...

    Car and Driver 2019 CX5 article.

    We didn*t drive the A-Spec but tbh right off the top my wife hated the styling, mostly the Acura triangle grill. I just thought the drive was blah. The 5 made me want to drive it more, still does, my wife was shocked I decided to take it out in the rain last night after just picking it up that...

    Car and Driver 2019 CX5 article.

    Test drove the RDX after the 5 and the RDX wasnt in the same zip code for us. After test drive we politely declined to even run numbers cause the answer was clearly no.

    2017~2025 Two questions about my 2019 CX-5 Signature

    99.9% sure. Last night I had my mirror knob set to the passenger side mirror selection, then before pulling into garage I rotated it clockwise one notch (straight down to mirror icon) and mirrors pulled in, rotated it back to right mirror selection, mirrors extended. I*d think similar process...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    My research tells me anything north of $1500 discount on a Sig or GTR (turbos) right now is good. Rebates are gravy depending on what you qualify for or they give you. I did above $2k discount plus the 500 but played hard and lucky they played along. Hard to tell when you trade, which I did...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Don*t know what the AC retail cost is but remember their cost is probably a lot less. Regardless, I*d be trying for ~31250 and wouldn*t do a dime above 31500 out. Its an 18 and its December 28th, tell them you*ll buy it today for xx,xxx and you*ll answer your phone 12/31 if they need a sale...

    Signature v GTR

    I*m in PA and my dealer had one, in dark blue. Test drove that one and told em I wanted white. They found one about an hour away and traded their blue for it after we came to agreement on numbers. With the scarcity I*m surprised I was able to get the deal I wanted. I was fully prepared to...
