    Called it *accident*

    Nothing is more infuriating then getting rear ended! I am sorry 7eregrine and happy to hear everyone is OK. With any luck it should be repairable. In my limited experience with accidents back end damage is repairable. Fingers crossed for you!

    GT Premium Package worth it?

    For cold weather climates, my vote is absolutely yes. The main reason why I purchased the premium package was for the windshield wiper deicer, heated steering wheel, and of course the HUD. My passengers in the back like the heated seats as well.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic! If it is any consolation, I had the same luck when I was buying my 2017 GT last year. (I'm from NJ myself) We don't get any good discounts or rebates.

    power folding mirrors

    I would love that as well, but my suspicion is no. Like the preferred package, it would have to be a factory install. (Fingers crossed I am wrong!)

    2016 Touring options?

    I'm a little rusty, so someone else will have to correct me. But there are two seperate models for 2016. The 2016 and 2016.5 (end production) I believe the 2016.5 is the one with the heated seats as an option.

    Windshield- OEM or OEE/Aftermarket

    Seconded. Our 2016.5 needed a new windshield a couple months into ownership and got it done at the dealer. Not only was it very competitively priced, but this new OEM one is holding up MUCH better than the factory installed one.

    2017 cx5 driver side door wind noise

    You are not alone - I have the same problem. For me, when the driver's window is down the whistle goes away. Put it back up and it comes back. I just chalked it up to can't be perfect and turn on the radio. :-)

    2017 cx5 driver side door wind noise

    Thank you for the reply. With my CX-5 there is no roof rails. But that might be helpful for the OP

    2017 cx5 driver side door wind noise

    Is it a high pitch like whistle? Sounds like it is coming from the driver's side mirror? If so, I have the same problem but no solution as of yet.

    I was going to buy a CR-V...Not anymore

    Something isn't right. Perhaps the site is bundling 2017s as 2018s?

    I was going to buy a CR-V...Not anymore

    The above posts are correct - most likely just dealer loan cars. And don't buy a "used" 2018 - the price would be about the same as a new one. Depending on when you are planning to purchase, you might want to hold out until the announce the 2019's. There may or may not be a turbo in our future...

    Off Topic Coding Error Sends 2019 Subaru Ascents To the Car Crusher

    Isn't destroying the cars a little extreme? If they haven't been sold why not scrap for parts?

    Considering 2018 CX5 Grand Touring Lease

    1. Amazing - it feels like you are driving on dry pavement 2. Unfortunately no, sorry. 3. The commander knob is the most intuitive system I've ever used. I don't use the touch screen myself. (Truth be told I forgot it was a touch screen until I typed this out) While the infotainment system isn't...

    Service message what do you think

    Sounds like when the salesperson delivered your car, they didn't reset the maintenance schedule. You can find it in your car's settings and reset to either flexible or fixed - whichever you feel is appropriate for your driving. Like everyone said so far, you don't need to worry about it until...

    2017~2025 Possible lemon?

    Does your brother keep his in SPORT mode? Have you tried putting yours in SPORT mode while driving? While not the most fuel efficient, it is more fun and peppier to drive.

    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    Basically looking for an all season tire, with emphasis on rain/snow tracking. Secondary concerns is good wear and quiet ride. New Jersey climate has a little of everything - snow storms, to torrential downpours, to Sahara hot dry spells.

    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    Thank you for all the responses. It looks like I'm lucking out at 30k miles as is. Probably going to have to change them in a couple of months. Any recommendations for tire/brand?

    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    Wow that is crazy fast. Any special driving conditions that made them wear so fast?
