Every year I give my cars a deep clean. Been neglecting Betty a bit and keeping her outside so she gets first up. And we always start with the nook and cranny clean. I always forget before shots. Lol It was filthy. The hatch area was disgusting with old crusty pollen and other nasty. My 8 year...

Recently had my Volvo in the shop. Gave me the XC90 Recharge for a loaner car, what Volvo calls the PHEV cars. Let me preface this by saying I truly don't like the biggest cars. The CX9\XC90\\Highlander and cars of that size. Just too big for me. I don't need or want anything that large. As...

Hasta La Vista Baby! And good luck with the Edge!

Personally never understand why people think things made in Japan are better then things made...literally anywhere else. They have a better work ethic? Yea, ok. I know UAW members and they are hard working people who take pride in their work. Japanese cars weren't better in the 80's because...

That's pretty Bman. Guy at work had a blue one. He actually had a ton of problems with it. Don't really like the dude so never really talked to him about the issues. But he just traded it in for a convertible BMW because of the trouble he had. @colorado Yea, they are not attractive at all...

I could have written that almost exactly with a few exceptions. Gas mileage sucks, and it's my daily, but it's that smile, man. Getting into that car just makes me a little happier... LOL The CX5 has pretty much become the wife's commuter. She even calls it her car now. And no one ever asks me...

If I had a first gen CX5 (2013-2015) I would immediately replace the radio with a nice aftermarket one. Without hesitation. You're lucky you have the option.

ACC, which not everyone has, still wears brake pads down. I assume Cleverusername does that because it's less wear on the brake system...not because he's too lazy to use the brake. LOL

Are we still talking about this? LOL Not everyone shops the same. And I certainly would have appreciated someone telling me the differences...no one did... between an 18 and a 19 S60. Because they are also significant, like the 16-17 CX5.

"Normally"?? I'm sure there are a lot of people that shop by "I have xx dollars, what can I get"... When I was shopping for my Volvo i would have PREFERRED the current SPA Generation that started in 19, but I certainly would have gotten a prior gen if I had found one I really liked.

It's not odd when OP is looking at buying a 16 or 17. Why WOULDN'T you compare generations?

I pretty much never agree with yrwei on anything. I do agree with his first paragraph though. Older and used, 16 or 17 are the ones to get. Shoot for a 17 GT. MANY improvements made. HUD, heated steering wheel, doors open wider, rear seat reclines, rear seat has heater vents and are heated too...

FTFY. I will continue to die on the hill that "bLaCk cArS aRe hArDeR tO kEeP cLeAn". Source, have had cars of every color except blue/gold/orange. Black the most. But red, white, silver, platinum... None were "easier to keep clean" then any other. I swear my silver car gets dirty just by me...

You know I hate chrome on cars. Swapped out the chrome grill for a black one. 🔥
