    I figured if I didn't like it, it made me $12k, so whatever, eh? It was a decision based on finances as well as hopes Id like it.

    This reads like the CX90 and CX70 will be very similarly dimensionally, which is a turn off to me. It may well not be any better performing than the CX5 (think RDX vs. MDX) https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-90/ This will not be lighter than the CX9, I am quite suspicious, and that means overcoming...

    CrossClimate2 10,000mi review

    I just crossed 10K miles in my Rav4 Prime. I put 235/55/19 105H rated CC2's on it when new. The tires have been exceptional in every way. -Sound: They are quiet. On everything. No pavement types made this tire sound loud or annoying in any way. It is the most uniformly quiet tire I've driven...

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Yes, they are trash. AT 17K miles mine were at 4.5/32. Pure trash. My replacement tires lasted about 50K miles for reference---It wasn't ME. Nor did the car even need or get a realignment with the install!

    MDX is wasted space for my use. RDX has a fair bit of complaint online, and is slower to boot. XT5 just gets terrible reviews from everyone. R4P I have now is basically a Lexus 450h+ top trim, drivetrain wise already. Stelvio I test drove was very forgettable, and dealer is 200mi away. Macan...

    Its a gamble...will Inget an inferior vehicle? Or will the cx70 be a dud (Ford edge st has 335bhp/380tq. Cx5 still faster in tests), or will the cx70 engine or trans have reliability issues? The cx5 and sa 6 speed and 2.5t are all very evolved by now. Also dont forget, Mazda is shifting...

    Macan's are absolute money pits, AND we do not have a local Porsche dealer. I am very into the CX70, but that will be out in 2 years or so likely. Also, I have heard numbers as low as 280bhp, and as high as 350, and we don't know the weight.

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    Yes. PHEV will be hard to get. Worth a premium. Massive trade values and such! YESSS!!!!!

    Thats legit faster than mine ever was. I had a 2019. Best ever with full hook was 6.7ish. I am hoping my 2022 is like yours! Whats your 0-100?

    The new ones are very "meh", as well as discontinued. A friend had a 2013. It ate the transmission and AC compressor by 80K miles or so.

    I agree fully. My question is...what is spinning? Front, or all? I literally NEVER got my CX5 to spin the tires, even in the rain. I also was clocking 6.8 0-60's at best in it. In fact, let me hunt up a video of me trying to (Granted, these are LX25's, not OEM A36's, but still...IN THE RAIN!)...

    New off-road mode in 2022 CX-5

    Can anyone comment on this who has a 2022 Turbo or Signature? I am just seeing the "VDC OFF" button, NOT the "TCS OFF" button. Does the same button have a 2-press now, so you cycle through the traction systems, or can you not turn TCS off anymore?

    I've looked at pretty much everything, and the German stuff is so maintenance intensive, and the M cars have VANOS failures basically guaranteed before 100K miles (to add insult to injury, the VANOS system in the M40i lives against the firewall side of that B58), so X3M40i is out, the AMG 35 AMG...

    I don't like it at all. It's like a cheap version of the CX5 with a rugged exterior.

    Same. I cannot understand. It just left both me and my roommate absolutely underwhelmed. Completely forgettable is how Id describe it. Bleh!

    No, as the suspension/transmission/engine are unchanged in tuning and in rated performance, as I understand it. The interior is worlds better, but the car was just completely unengaging in every way.

    Well, I drove a 2018 Stelvio Ti today. Yuck. Im honestly stunned. 2018 Stelvio Ti w/ 11K miles was what I drove. The good: I loved the lines. Beautiful car! The paint was some of the nicest I've seen, and reminded me of Porsche. No orange peal. Beautiful and smooth. The vehicle felt rigid...

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    Had a 2019, traded at 80k miles. Zero powertrain issues.
