    Ended up going with the Acura RDX...

    I'm in the same boat, but for me #1 is Alfa Romeo Stelvio(~20-25% off MSRP !!), then CX5 and last the RDX. RDX is worse in reliability, than the Stelvio. The best is the CX5.

    Ended up going with the Acura RDX...

    I kind of consider the RDX, Alfa Stelvio and the CX5. I'm scared of the RDX's bad rating(worse than the Stelvio), the Stelio actually looks better in that department and best is the CX5. Fun/looks/uniqueness goes to the Stelvio, reliability to the CX5 and the RDX is between. On the Stelvio, you...

    Lowered CX-5 Appreciation: Show us your drop!

    Mine is a '14 and dropped it 3-1/2", so I needed it. With the stock bolt, I was at borderline between red and green zone. They had to use some kind of air pillow, to put pressure on the strut, to get to that point. If your drop is less than that, you may fall into the green zone, where is...

    Guide Fix Infotainment Issues and Performance

    I don't even have the stock stereo, but from Kenwood experiences, I know that it is a good idea to make a copy of the SD card, just in case, that it gets corrupted down the road.

    Lowered CX-5 Appreciation: Show us your drop!

    For $1000, you can get some better known coilover sets imho. I'm one of those, who has just thrown in a 3-1/4" drop, but I also made my own lateral links, that compensated for camber. Some, back then were against it, but I'm still OK with them, after many many miles. Ride is not for the faint...

    Wow! CX-5 Short Break Pad Life!

    On my 2014, I should have changed for the first time, my rear pads at 62000 miles(!), but I have decided to change to aftermarket discs(slotted/drilled), so I have replaced all of them.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    If I would sell my CX5 privately, and get a new one, could I still use the loyalty discount? I guess not, but I would like to ask anyway.

    Need some advice...Steering wheel shaking

    I have a slight vibration, when I'm almost stopping, but not always. New brakes installed in July. Did not do that, until now. Ball joint/tie rod boots are all thorn at 68k(!). Did not inspect the control arm bushings. Most likely I will have to replace these parts and see after that what...
