Just got it back from the audio shop - new front components, amp, and subwoofer, and that blatant mid bass gap is thankfully gone. Some mild improvement with Dynamatted doors too, but not a world of difference. Still feels like I'm in a concert hall when I'm stuck in traffic though. :) (BTW...

Works just fine - unfortunately I tend to get carsick when I'm not actively driving, so I avoid having it engage under regular conditions (feels too jerky for my comfort), and at highway speeds the lowest setting leaves a bit too much of a gap for Northeast drivers. But the ACC has definitely...

The dips were across all the speakers, so it may not be the limitation of the speakers. I took the car to a professional audio place, and their RTA did confirm a dip in the aforementioned range. I'm getting an amp, replacing the front components, and having a sub installed, hopefully by playing...

The hard plastic does scuff easily, I'm going to have to take some care with my work boots. The dashtop isn't "sticky" per se, but it does attract dust like crazy and I also have yet to find the right kind of cloth to clean it well. The safety features, however, are perfect for me - I turned off...

Yup, tacked on a piece of light-colored felt :)

The cover is great and idiot-proof, but just a caveat - if you have light-colored seats the black flaps easily rub off onto the (p)leather.

I'm getting the audio system on my 2017 done, and the installer is pushing Dynamat for the doors... I've seen it do a nice job on older cars, but the 2017 doors seem pretty quiet to me (compared to the 2016). Does anyone with a 2017 and experience with noise reduction materials think it could...

Interesting - and sad - that the factory 2017 is worse than all others. I didn't want a moonroof or 19" wheels and I wanted I-ActivSense (so far extremely worth it), but the current HU is jacking up the quotes I'm getting for professional aftermarket, so it would have been cheaper to just get a...

New owner, but so far: Very nimble for city driving, zippy and comfortable while commuting hours on the highway, and capable on rutted-out mountain roads. Viva la CX5!

I heard both the 2017 Bose and the stock while test-driving, and noticed that the Bose was a bit better despite the weak "sub", but ended up with a Touring w/out Bose... I love the car otherwise, but the audio is far worse than any other stock stereo I've had in the past. A rough frequency sweep...

Does anyone have the service manual/audio specs or the frequency response curve for the 2017 Touring non-Bose? Just bought my car and love most everything about it, but I'm really having a problem with the stereo (sounds muddier than my 15-yo stock Toyota). My audio engineer friend did a rough...

Oh yeah, I'm absolutely loving the ride (and the 17s were why I ultimately chose the Touring over the GT), but the 6-speaker is noticeably worse than the stock I'd had in a 15-yo Toyota and diminishes the experience (during testing I was more focused on other aspects), so I'm hoping to upgrade...

$28,150 for my 2017 Touring AWD with I-ActivSense pkg... Just a few hundred below MSRP (and prob could have finagled some accessories thrown in), but it was pretty rare model so not much leverage. I do regret not getting the GT since the 6-speaker blows, but the I-ActivSense is definitely worth...

I just bought my 2017 Touring, and my impressions are similar to Colorado's: Pros: The NVH was *much* improved over the 2016.5s (and I imagine prior years) - this solidified my decision over the 2016.5 GT. The suspension is better, but the ride is still zippy and fun. The dashtop display...

I'm also looking at seat covers for a possible 2017 CX5 Touring, primarily to protect against denim-transfer and dirt from beach/mountain outings. Does anyone know if the neoprenes from Wet Okole can be used with heated seats in the winter, or have other suggestions? The faux suede insert just...

So there's an actual difference in the seat itself? That's interesting to know... too bad they split the packages on the '17 Tourings, if there's such fundamental difference between the trims.

Thanks for all the info... Do you think the firmness of the GT is all due to the wheels, or is there some component from the seats? I've heard people saying the leather in the GT is pretty firm, and since I've never owned leather before I'm wondering how much it's likely to break in? The seats...

Hi all - been browsing the forum for weeks, and hoping for some advice on a CX5 that I'm planning to buy. I first test-drove the 2016.5 Touring which I found enjoyable, but wanting lane assist/SCBS led me to the 2016.5 GT. While the GT amenities were nice, I found the GTs ride to be too firm -...
