Hud is height adjustable and tied to memory. Wife doesn't like it so I put it all the way down for her seat memory. You could shut it off completely but not selectively exclude speed. I have grown to like it a lot. As to whether to get it is up to you. You do get other things with the...

Wow I can't believe I actually just watched about 80% of the TFL Press briefing! Very informative!

Do you have a AWD or FWD? Your profile has FWD.

RDX recommends premium but you can run regular btw. It's the exact same engine as the previous gen Accord (same engine code, same power, same torque at same rpm). Yeah 10k is quite a bit. Is the RDX worth 30% more? In 2013 it was because the CX-5 was just not as refined. Now it's closer but...

I could have sworn it worked the first time. Now it won't show anything and I can' only control the songs from the phone, not the car (next song, previous song). Any ideas?

Drove a SantaFe when I was trying out the 2013 CX-5. That drove like a boat, had 0 feedback on steering, and had about a +/- 5 degree or so dead spot on center. If they are going to Genisis(ise) it they better start from the ground up. After testing CX-5, SantaFe, Q5, and RDX we ended up with...

I just cross shopped the CR-V and CX-5 last week and it was a very close call. CX-5 won out because it was cheaper and insurance was cheaper by quite a bit as well (+22/6mo vs +147/6mo) CR-V had really nice things as well but ultimately for MY criteria the CX-5 check off more boxes than the...

Well it was dirt cheap tho. She got $6.5k of MSRP!!! I think the only reason they sell in so much volume is because they are cheap as nuts. They probably inflate the MSRP to match competitors and say Lookie here! We are same class of car, same price, but we give you a mad discount!

Just got mine done in my 17!

Got metal dead pedal cover and trunk sliding cover thinggy from Canada! Also put a layer of Opticoat on roof and back half of car. Waiting till next week for Xpel install before coating the front. Cargo liner arrives tomorrow.

Rode in my co-worker's new rogue 2 weeks ago. LOTS of hard plastic. Huge amount of room in back seat and pano sunroof is nice. Infotainment sucked and radio was meh (CR-V radio was meh also btw. Not bad but meh). Also Rouge was VERY loud in Highway speeds and if you give it the foot the...

I find that hard to swallow as well but I would want more details. How many did they crash? What does Mazda have to say about it? What did they change that made it different? Could it just be a bad one off test?

I'm not super concerned about that 4 star on 2 side tests. Still very good.

Yeah thanks, I lucked out! She's European and VERY practical. No wedding, no engagement ring. She rather take the money and buy furniture or pay off loan. She's more fiscally conservative than I am (and I'm a finance major) :\

Doctor in Optometry. She's at $100 + bonus (about 6% or so) + 6% 401k with 0% from her + 100% match up to 2% 401k (First job out of school, been working 3 years so far) Her friends make more at retail (about $120 base + about 10-15% bonus) but work like MAD! As for IT with no degree I think...

Some of my wife's colleagues are paying over $1600 in student loans... I worked while she went for her OD degree so all she had to pay was tuition, no living expense. It was $24k per year on tuition only so our total loan was about $80k since we footed a little bit of tuition. Most of her...

Well I can't complain. I traded in a 2006 Mazda3 without side airbags so anything would be an improvement :D

Yeah good plan! I was looking at some houses just for giggles (bought our first house 2 years ago) and man we could get quite a bigger house for just a little less than the car payments! We will be back to 1 car payment in 1.5 years so that helps. Can't wait for wife to finish her school loans...

Nothing wrong with either car. If they were both the same money it would have been a very tough call! Around here the CR-V's were running about 1000 to 2000 more than a CX-5 and to me the CX-5 FELT better driving even tho on paper the CR-V was better. There really is nothing wrong with a...

I test drove the CR-V and while according to tests it does go faster, it feels like it's going to fall apart when it does. Transmission and engine are noisy if you dip it 1/2 throttle or more. It also doesn't feel as connected to the road when you drive. Definitely louder on highway ride. My...
