    RAV4 Hybrid Hits US Soil for Purchase

    Speaking of respect, diesels and tardiness..this (finally) is something from VW that I thought was well done and in the right tone, as opposed to "we're sorry we got caught and your government said we have to do this so here ya go" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEvNL6oEr0U

    Finally Joined the Club! - 2019 CX-5 GT-R

    Welcome aboard, wanted to hear your first hand take take on the diesel, but #s seems underwhelming at best so I totally get it and wish you best of luck with what would likely be my choice right now yet my 100k brodozer soldiers on)..other than brakes very minimal issues..still tight..28-29 in...

    Goodbye CX-5 Sport. Hello Forester XT.

    Cvts suck balls and should all die a painful death..cpo cx9 would've been my (strong)suggestion. XT touring sure its not at all a bad place to be but just not engaging enough to want to drive even with that good motor..shame cause it used to be.

    What Other Cars Do You Have Beside Your CX-5?

    No data since '16 model year and even then its very spotty. N won't move the needle bc its a niche within a niche- check out how many are available- they know this but hey thanks for the data. I'll let you know if it satisfies me- major s*** don't break I'll be plenty satisfied, long warranty...

    What Other Cars Do You Have Beside Your CX-5?

    Thanks..addition..which is why keeping cost down was priority otherwise Stinger GT/G70 or M240- but any of those how I wanted were 10-15+ more. Drove the RWD G70 stick and other than sweet looks/interior it was surprisingly meh to drive. The N is huge fun and absolutely love how adjustable it...

    What new Mazda is coming?

    Sticking w/'Crosstek'..nice! Already on: https://www.mazdausa.com/cx-30 Like the 'Trek but to love its acceleration is to not care (like really at all) about acceleration Cladding and all this is a likely front runner to replace my aging 5er- size looks about perfect- won't need turbo for...

    What new Mazda is coming?

    Hopefully they do a better job than you did(poke)..wish I had a nickel- I mean they may as well change the name to that! That amount of cladding looks like a tacky, lazy attempt at saving paint..so CX-5>CX-30 for now at least.

    Hyundai N Products

    Yeah have to agree I'd prefer the I30N 4dr hatch that we don't get and despite me spouting hate on VW I've come pretty close (closest was 1st gen R32) to buying GTIs in the past and this Hyundai is probably the closest thing to that used R32 that was listed at or slightly above original sticker-...

    I dumped my CX-5 finally

    ^That's insane(weight on 20s) yeah I think 19s is where you want to be(at least for summer set up)- 8 wide is probably good(7 is stock I thought?)- and stay light my friends...turbo will handle that weight better but I damn near ruined mine by trying to go wider, thus heavier- 235/55-19 Pirelli...

    I'd use stock wheels for winter (or possibly sell and go with 17s)and get wider ones with 245s for the other 3 seasons with something grabby.

    1. Same parent company w/lots of shared internals 2. Drive a Veloster N and let me know if you're still dismissive at that point. 3. Other than Stinger GT (which is sweet too) but auto only and kinda large and 10+k more they don't make anything overtly sporty really

    **** sake can we let warranty thing go already..obviously if you're willing and able to some s*** yourself you almost certainly will end up ahead(and you might even if not) at the end but..ya never quite know do ya? Uno- did you even sample the 4th place Rav4 you were so hot on? Or were the...
