    Class-Action Suit Over Lack of Advertised Real-Time Traffic

    Sorry, but OP called for a lawsuit, so even though it has evolved to something better, we must all respond with righteous indignation!

    Grand Touring i-ACTIVSENSE Package

    I love that it calls out red light cameras. This package really is a must. Worth way more than the $1500 price tag.

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Okay I followed the eBay link and purchased the same light kit. It says they come with a "prying tool". Here's hoping I don't destroy my new car.

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    That is a pretty big difference. Looks really cool! Is it just a matter of replacing a few light bulbs on the inside? That thread has a bunch of discussion about changing lights all over the place, as well as resistors and screws, etc. I'm a path of less resistance kind of guy.

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Thanks and congrats to you, too! No mods planned at this time. I kind of splurged (a lot) on the initial buy. There just happened to be one on the lot with just about everything that I fell in love with, so "Vader" has the 19 inch wheels which are partially black, tinted windows, fancy LEDs...

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Okay one more thing. Apparently the car can detect and call out "Red Light Cameras". I'm guessing this is common knowledge, but I was kind of shocked. The driver-side speaker would fade out and she would say, "Red Light Camera Approaching". Not just a car, a partner in crime! (outie)

    Oh, and my wife was laughing at me for sitting in the car for an hour after I got home. My 12 year old jumped in and we went for a drive around the neighborhood. Good times!

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Good day today. That i-drive thing is incredible. A few rough edges but mostly worked great. The headlights are insane as well. Light up the whole world bright. And of course I'm enjoying all the entertainment and rear camera stuff that I've never had before. Saying "Play Pandora" is just cool...

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Wow! That is a great video! It is more ambitious than I was envisioning. Great to see the AWD in action! I live in KC and we get a fair amount of winter weather. When camping rain can make for some questionable surfaces in the woods. Nice to see that the CX-5 can stand up to less than ideal...

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    Thanks for the perspective. I probably could have found a better deal on a 2015, but my initial search showed about a $3K difference, so I used it as an excuse to throw caution to the wind. Regarding AWD, I am thinking the psychological benefit of knowing it's there during winter weather will...

    New CX-5 Owner! Is this where I get to mutually obsess with others about it?

    I'm on cloud nine with this car. I haven't bought an actual new car in well over a decade, and I've always owned sedans. I have two sons who I regularly take camping and the sedans just weren't enough anymore. Started searching for a used CX-5 and found their resale was so high that I might as...
