Summary:
Very balanced car, better than Peugot 5008. Lifts inside rear wheel and it will feel like a small delay for the car to settle. Looses little speed because of stability control and executing the maneuver is very simple because there is no strange movements of the car. Couldn't do 78kph without running over cone. Still easy to keep car under control at that speed.
Slalom. Traction control is very smooth and activates only gradually so you don't lose too much speed and it's not jerky.
Since when do they have moose in Spain?
Good gawd! Did I watch the same video others here did? CX-5 may well be the best handling compact CUV out there, but you can't deny physics. In many of those runs it simply looked like a drunken whale. No wonder I'm looking forward to trading mine in foe a Mazda 3 or some other 5 door hatch next year!
You can argue that "higher seating advantage" thing all you want, but I'll trade it for the evasive capability advantage of a well-sorted sedan/hatch/"shooting brake" any day.Compare that CX-5 moose test vid with the new Civic's https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=23&v=T69yPK2CbV8 at the 77-79km/h speeds. The CX-5 is taller/heavier but appears to corner a bit sharper though? The CX-5 appears to provide good driver control while being higher helps visibility to avoid certain collisions than say a Civic. I also would prefer to be in a bigger vehicle when hitting a moose.

What isn't? I have no idea what you're talking about.The point is though Paris, it isn’t a well sorted hatch.
