    The Stelvio I drove didn't really do a whole lot the CX5 didn't, and it felt laggier and less crisp in general. I'm sure it pushes less under neutral corner entry, but...okay... The CX5 is large enough by far. The Edge, my ex gf had one, very poor quality vehicle. As noted, the ST isn't any...

    Reliability with those as well as the tuned CX5 is an issue, but I drive a bit less now since I changed roles at work.

    MotorTrend 2021 Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5?

    I'm actually going back. The AWD in the GTR is better, and the chassis is more rigid. -OTHERWISE- The Prime was better.

    I've already got over 10K on my Prime. I had 80K on my 2019 GT Reserve when I traded it. Had 106K on my 2016 CX5 that I bought with 28K midway through the 2015 year.

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    This is not cause to distrust turbos. Just be leery of first production years of anything. Mirror motors come to mind...

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    This is not s turbo issue. People point to a turbo as an issue. I have yet to see a failure from one on the 2.5T mazda. What you referenced are failures of other components, also not caused by a turbo, but rather bad assembly or design of that specific item.

    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...
