I sold my Toyota Matrix AWD in April when I was looking to buy the new Impreza hatchback. Then I caught a glimpse of the Subaru XV scheduled to hit dealers in the fall and that changed the game for me. I had the orange XV picture as my screen saver and saved to my phone! My plan was to hold off 5-6 months, drive loaner cars, and get me an XV as soon as they hit the lots. Well after two months of bumming rides and hermitizing I started searching auto trader for CUV's and came across the CX-5. Mazda had never even crossed my mind before this and here I was scouring youtube reviews and reading forums until 3 a.m. Exactly 32 hours later I would be driving the last one off the lot in Vegas, 120 miles to its new home in Utah. So far, no remorse. The manual CX-5 is so fun to drive! Every curve brings a smile to my face.
