My wife and I picked up our CX5 yesterday (FWD touring Bose/sunroof). The more I drive it, the more I like it; and my wife loves it! Which is good, because its hers. LOL One thing I noticed, and let me know if I'm just nuts, but when sitting in the passenger seat, it seems like the base should be tilted back a bit.
Here's a couple of things I wish were offered in this trim line.
-Driver 1&2 memory. Her old TL had this, and it saved the settings for the mirrors, seat, AC/heat, and radio stations. We LOVED that!
-The 19" wheels should be an option
-Its beyond stupid that the smart key does not work to unlock the doors as you approach the vehicle unless you have a GT with tech package. My friends 3 year old base model Altima has this feature!!
-Auto headlights should be standard as well. I mean 'cmon, we have blind spot monitors, but no auto headlights?? These last two features should be standard and the blind spot should be an option on the GT!
Everything else is great! Well...except for the Bose. Like a lot of others have said, its not all that great. But hey, its a hell of a lot better than our old car's stereo, and again, the wife loves it, so all is well. It also pairs nicely with our iPhone 4s', streams pandora great, ect.
I looked at the mirrors, and hood, and didn't notice any vibrations. BTW, the only part of the hood I can really see when driving is the back edge (I'm 6' tall, and sit with the seat all the way back, so maybe thats why?). Anyway, not an issue for this vehicle.
Handling, turning radius, visibility, and maneuverability are all awesome!
MPG is great for a vehicle of this size too!
