    Anyone coming from a CR-V? How do you think road noise and ride compare?

    From any angle, any altitude CX-5 is by far the best looking CUV out there. Everything else is either too round, has a ugly ass grill, or a humpback like a damn Pontiac Aztek. I actually see hints of that hideous Aztek grill on the new ugly Escape and the back of the Aztek on the CR-V.

    Hood Protection - Magnet Bra

    Yeah, I might need to apply some film to that leading edge which is plastic anyways. I'm on 6Club as ForzaEsEs26. I hope so too, I was going to go with another ClearBra installation but I can't get anyone to sell me just the hood, fenders and mirrors kit. I tried putting an order at...

    CX-5 Clear Bra anyone?

    Some jackass in a parking lot must have come too close to our CX-5, noticed the other day that the passenger mirror was all scuffed with white paint from the vehicle that scraped against it. Thank goodness for that Ventureshield, took the hairdryer out removed the film nice and cleanly and 0...

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    I actually did not know that, good info. But NJ is a huge state, maybe I should have been more specific and said here in Central Jersey or Upper CJ instead. I have no problems with AWD my other truck is AWD as well, just living where we are I would have rather got FWD and spent the extra on snow...

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    Yeah, in total for the year. I'm in East Brunswick the biggest storm we got this year we saw what? 15 inches? and it's cleaned up in a day or 2. The guys in some parts of Canada get that and more on a weekly basis. There's no way you saw 75 inches this year, 2010-11 we had a lot of snow but...

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    Wow full house! :D ok the 2.5 is definitely for you. Maybe if I bring my 50 gallon fishtank on long trips I'd feel your pain (lol2) in any case I hope you're happier with the 2014 CX-5.

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    Carlos, not all 2013's have the issues you had ;) my 2.0 has plenty of power to do what I bought it to do. I'm not looking to accelerate hard on lights and race cars next to me or do 90 on the highway weaving in and out of traffic, although I do find myself going 80 at times and don't even feel...

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    I knew you would come around :D you made the right choice, that's why I wondered in the beginning why you wouldn't just go for the 2014 CX-5, at least you will not be sacrificing style! good luck dude and like you said in NC you're never going to need AWD.

    CX-5 For a family car?

    Have a 3 year old and yes we use it as the family car on the weekends and my wife uses it daily to drive him to daycare and back. I do have a bigger SUV for the Home Depot trips but CX-5 is used for all other shopping whether it be grocery or the mall. She had a Civic before this, a pain in the...

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    :) you're right, we get major snowfall like once every 5-6 years. Yeah, you guys get bombarded up north. How did the CX-5 handle all that stuff? I ask cause I drove in the snow maybe like twice this year with stock tires and it handled itself very very well. I felt safe.

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    AWD doesn't even matter to be honest. Wish I had gone for the FWD and spent the extra money on a Snow Tire/Wheel combination. I've learned my lesson.

    Trading my Mazda CX-5 for a 2014 Subaru Forester XT

    Everyone's personal preference I guess. We have the 2013 AWD GT and very very happy with it in every way. The 2014 has way more power as I definitely noticed ater test driving one for the heck of it, if I wanted to trade it in I would have done so for a 2014 CX-5 but naaah. Did you consider...

    Anyone coming from a CR-V? How do you think road noise and ride compare?

    We strongly considered getting a CR-V as well. There are way too many similarities betwen the two vehicles except the CX-5 felt more alive in our test drives, handling, suspension all felt better with teh CX-5, also appearence wise it was a no contest. Like xtrailman says if there was no CX-5 my...

    very expensive insurance for CX-5?

    Man, this insurance stuff confuses me. I had Geico for 9 years before I just switched to Allstate. Geico had me quoted at almost twice what I currently pay with Allstate. Now I pay a cool $53 a month for the 2013 CX-5, $56 a month for the 2014 6. Same exact coverage as Geico, I'm wondering if...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Added chrome trim to the headlights and brake lights, surprisingly look very very good. Just one thing with the headlight trim was that they cover part of the amber trim for the turn signals (there's a little square cutout so you can see the amber bulb light up). Looks great overall, if anyone...
