LOL, so true!!

I agree with this 100% ...not particularly a fan of the 2019 Rav4 styling but it definitely would have been a major contender over our 2017 CX-5 if it were available at our time of purchase. This is based on our experience with our 1998 4Runner (200K miles with minimal expenses besides normal...

At least my VW GTI will have something to discuss with her garage mate... Lol

I went into the Sprints thinking they were ET40 as well (I think that's what the TSW site had)...got them and they were stamped ET35 on the insides. Works out perfectly though. I would think a 9" wheel would work in the rear (mine are still a bit tucked), but the fronts would be sticking out.

Not directed to me but here is my setup which is basically flush... 20x8.5 ET35 TSW Sprint in gunmetal, 245/45/20 BFG g-Force Comp 2 A/S. Hope these pics help.

Glad I could help. Look forward to seeing your pics!

I agree, the user interface is a bit clunky, but it works quite well once routed. I do like how it gives the number of lanes that are allocated for offramps and highway splits...Waze doesn't have this feature. I usually have both routed as they provide different information.

The liftgate will always open when you are carrying the keyfob, whether the car is locked or unlocked.

Can you set the opening height low enough on the liftgate to avoid contact with your Kayaks? I have mine set lower than it's full opening capability to avoid hitting the garage door when the liftgate is being opened.

I do not believe, if the AC button is not pressed and the temp control is set to the minimum temperature, that the AC compressor actually turns on. The system just allows the outside air in. If the temperature knob is set to a temperature higher than the outside temperature, the air will be...

Yikes, makes more sense now. Tinters are very liberal with water usage. Hopefully they will step up and take some responsibility. Good luck!

Did you have any part of your windshield tinted?

Definitely agree...we swapped out the oem pizza cutters for some 20" lighter wheels (about 6 lbs each) with some much better tires and it definitely helped. However, it highlighted that the front end suspension is pretty well buttoned down, but the rear is too loose and the shock rebound is too...

The primary reason we picked the CX-5...even though the 2017 Forester XT was a very close contender (CVT in the XT is the best we've driven). Actually had a deal on a Forester penciled in before we test drove the CX-5.

Part of the reason my daily driver is a 6 speed manual GTI (it does have push button start though).

Negative, when you get to the gas station, your car is unlocked anyways. You simply get out of the car and push the gas door open. No additional steps required.

Ghost Shield in Newbury Park did the install (highly recommended), and the cost was $825 for hood, bumper, mirrors, rear bumper top near the hatch, and a custom piece they did for my black painted grill piece (that alone was I think $100 since there is no pattern for it).

It actually is an inconvenience compared to what we are used to driving...when we first picked up the CX-5, i would forget that I needed to release the fuel door from inside the vehicle. Used to it now and its a non-issue...still less steps to fuel up my GTI.

I don't think this is what the OP is referring to. In my current GTI and old Audi, the fuel door locks and unlocks with the door lock/unlock button. There is no internal lever to release the fuel door. You simply push on the fuel door (when the car is unlocked) and the fuel door pops open...

Great...thanks for sharing the wealth...lol...I knew I shouldn't have opened that link!
