    A little birdie told me....

    You said borked:) Yeah I'm highly interested here.. like me some junk(not too much)- don't love how the 5er has gone all lux- don't really need an SUV- but do need awd so if true seeing this as possible 5er replacement. Agreed w/jr on cx3..why?

    Wife tired my cx-5

    Didn't know what to expect here..thought typo maybe she's tired of it..maybe she did a solid and put new winter tires on it for ya eh?.Oh hell no, she dissed it Canadian style!? Traded my 07 crv for the cx5..it was a good ride, but the mazda dances around it well my gen1 does anyways..oh snap...

    2019 Brochure

    Probably but its not like Toyota doesn't know how to make a car handle- I think they think people(at least in their market) don't really care and want it to ride better than it does handle and I'd guess that's very largely true but lately seems like they're trying to get at least some edge back...

    Not so bad after-all...

    Lot of reasons not to get new RAV seems..no AA(not a huge deal but annoying for droid users ntl), manual shifting is a joke (like it is in wife's HL), and they ain't cheap. Yeah the hybrid FE is great but that CVT is the ungift that just keeps on sucking... not impressed really. If you really...

    Would you like the option for a foot activated rear lift gate?

    From our resident barbarian...wow! If there were a delete option on the 2019 gtr I'd check that box in a second. Having no choice..yeah it should have some form of automation i suppose.

    Yep, another snow tire thread...

    Wife has DM-V1s and I can confirm they're awesome in bad conditions, but pretty bad in good conditions and they wear quickly..she does less than half the driving I do and wanted "snow claws"..short of going studded I think they're pretty much tops. The Michelin is soft but definitely a better...

    Michelin Xi2 early season snow blast review

    Mounted these up (225/65-17) last week and damn glad I did. I had my old dunlop wintersports that were loud, really loud toward the end of their lifespan. They handled great (better than anything non uhp for sure) but were just ok when it got bad. Michelins solved the noise issue...

    2017 Cherokee vs 2016.5 CX-5

    Its not boring, it def does handle but the feel of that handling isn't for everyone including me which is why i prefer the brz and its flatter, cut the ass end loose at will setup. 240 na horses, fix that tq curve and its pure cheap fun platinum.

    2018 CX-5 or 2019

    Lease to buy is not a good plan financially but doing that on an 18 leftover will at least bang you considerably less hard than on a brand new 36+k turbo model. I'd probably consider looking for a lightly used CPO 17 even though I'm partial to gen 1 and the late gen 1's 19s

    Some nice Glamour shots of the '19 in this article

    Not from me you don't.. If Mazda goes straight CVT I will not repurchase- simple as that- but they won't at least not anytime soon. VW are cheating ****** who screwed over the entire segment as whole- if they weren't my CX-5d would be sitting outside for years now- probably with close to 100k on...

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    Probably but 35(converted to us mpg) sounds an awful lot better than 25 (2.5t)now that the std 2.5 na struggles to satisfy drivers since they've added all that fluff. MikeM knew better!

    Some nice Glamour shots of the '19 in this article

    Mazda's wood trim is ~10x better than Honda's tacky ass fake s*** that resembles a fkn scratch n sniff- much prefer aluminum but at least I'm not saddled with some b**** ass CVT so there's that...uh oh.

    CX5 Vs Golf SportWagen 4Motion

    Mom (unfortunately)has an 06 jsw w/o sunroof and has been experiencing interior flooding of late..its not a bug its a feature! F vw and I will say that as many times as possible and probably do it subconsciously in my sleep for good measure. Lying cheating whorebags and they should all rot in...
