    Hey Everybody...New guy here considering a CX-5

    Yep, I've taken all of them (Honda, Subaru, Nissan) for a ride. The Honda is the best of that bunch as far as CVT's go... but it's still a "belt driven automobile". Yea, they put Kevlar in the belt just like the one in my ATV, but no one can convince me that it will hold up as long as a well...

    Hey Everybody...New guy here considering a CX-5

    Hey everybody, New guy here. Been shopping around for a new CUV. Initially I was only considering the new CRV, RAV4 or Forester... drove a couple of all of them. However, buy chance I took a 2015 CX-5 GT for a ride yesterday. Went right home and got the wife and took her to drive the car. We...
