Location: Winnipeg. Fun you've had in the snow? ZERO... Yes my grandfather still likes to have some fun, made for a fun childhood! In fact he and my parent's insisted that I learn how to slide a car before I even had a license, kept me out of the ditch on several occasions as an adult. Hell...

Haha, "The CX-5 is almost universally praised as the best handling and most dynamic compact SUV." This is on dry pavement. Sure it's got a nice chassis, and is fun in the dry, (Why do you think I was considering it??) We are talking about in the SNOW, have you missed this? There is basically...

Jeez, you guys are really not fun people. When did I call anyone names? Grandpa? It was inference as to is age, I'm guessing the average age on this section must be pushing it. It should be noted that when we got 15 inches of snow in my parking lot here in MI a few weeks back. One of my...

Haha, beefcake using the term "hyperbole' that's laughable, (coming from a guy that said, "If you kill someone due to a skid while driving with DSC deliberately off...") Also Mazda has lost one (me), so your argument is thus rendered false.

A lot of effort? Typing must be real hard over on your end of the internets. (Or maybe the retirement community you live in has Dial-Up still.) The reason I came here was because I DID have interest in a CX-5 as a new daily driver. The fact that DSC can't be disabled removes that interest. I'm...

Haha, that would be a legal issue for me, not Mazda. Thanks for the "GET OFF MY LAWN" speech Grandpa. If I want to do a little drifting/hooning in a parking lot I OWN, that's well within my right. I'll go buy one of the many many many vehicles out there that CAN have the DSC disabled. Any...

I actually don't see how that is worth remembering. Also allowing the ability to disable DSC has zero legal issues. Hence why a ton of vehicles made in 2014 still have the ability.

It sounds like from other posts it's not possible. (I'm talking sustained drifting, not kick the back end out for a split second.) Thanks for the input guys! It's too bad Mazda didn't make the DSC able to be disabled, I guess I'll look at different vehicles.

Hey guys, Just joined this forum as I'm considering getting a 2.5L CX-5 AWD as a new daily driver. As a couple others have posted, I'm coming from an AWD car. (The saabaru) I enjoy playing in the snow when we have it here in MI. Has anyone actually tried any drifiting with a CX-5 in an empty...
