    2021 CX-5…Machine grey or black paint?

    My son is considering colors he may choose for a 2021 CX-5, and he has narrowed it down to either machine grey or black. I've never owned a vehicle with either of those colors so I can't advise him from personal experience. If you've had a dark grey or black vehicle, or both, please post here...

    2017~2024 AWD versus FWD

    When driving my 2019 CX-5 AWD it feels like there is a bit of "resistance" preventing the free flow of the wheels. Golf carts have a governor (to prevent people from being able to drive too fast , especially on a downward slope) and the CX-5 AWD reminds me of that. For comparison, my son's...

    2017~2024 Torque for wheel bolts question

    An Oil Change shop guy had his wrench set at 100 when rotating my 2019 CX-5 tires. The manual reads a range of 80-108. Is the 100 the guy did too tight? If so, what is the negative of too much torque used? Thanks, DG

    AWD vs FWD

    Have you test driven a CX-5 AWD vs FWD ? I have a 2016 FWD and a 19 AWD. The drive is very different but I am not sure if that is due to 2 wheel drive vs 4 wheel drive or other factors between the 3 model years.

    BF Goodrich tires for my CX-5

    In 2015 I bought my 2016 CX-5 new from a dealer with the stock Toyo A23 tires. Unfortunately, one of those tires caught a screw in the sidewall so I replaced all 4 with America's Tire Yokohama 580's, which served me well for about 25,000 miles. I recently started looking for some USA made tires...
