2015 CX-5 Muddy Off Road Review by Everyman Driver

[maxwax]

I love watching videos of CX-5 getting dirty and there aren't enough of them. Here's one of the most recent and best:

This is Dave Erickson of the Everyman Driver series on Youtube going through some serious mud pools.

And a previous experience with the same mud in a 4Runner:

Lol from this everyman guy pretty impressive (and unexpected). Fun really starts at about 7:50 (Don't try this on the CX-5. Maybe if you have a lift, and big tires and diesel lol)

Dave@EverymanDriver is far more aggressive but here is a light off-road video of '16 about halfway through

Terrible video but nasty looking road.

Looks like it needs to be removed every time you change the oil. Probably not worth it for the minimal "protection" it provides.

All skid-plates do that are worth beans. What on earth is a skidplate good for if it doesn't cover the oil pan?

The music was okay, but it really showcased how this vehicle is not meant for any offroading what-so-ever. The terrain it traversed was in better condition than some places I've driven sports cars, and it still looks like it got stuck. Twice. Such fail. I love my CX-5, but this video highlighted what it's NOT meant for.
