CX5 Comments<o></o>
a. Could have done better with foglights. <o></o>
b. Soul red & White are outstandingcolors in my opinion.<o></o>
c. Overall a great looking vehicle<o></o>
<o></o>
2. Interior<o></o>
a. Seats OK but, Bolsters are too pronounced.<o></o>
b. Not enough places to store things.
c. Bose radio deleted the mute option onthe steering wheel which was a great feature.<o></o>
d. The inches removed in the interior make it feel considerably smaller than the CX7, it is supposed to replace.<o></o>
e. Overall it is a very nice interior<o></o>
<o></o>
3. Engine & Transmission 2.5L<o></o>
a. Engine has ample power which makes driving fun. I miss the passing power of my CX7 but, in my daily drives, I notice not much difference.<o></o>
b. Fuel consumption is low and I am averaging~ 29.6 mpg measured. My measured mileageis even slightly higher than the dash value.<o></o>
c. The AT is a joy in its operation. Sorry to see that it has no recommended change interval or a convient dip sticks to check level.<o></o>
<o></o>
4. Driving experience<o></o>
a. Acceleration is good to very good for my local suburban driving. Brakes are excellent and modulate very well. <o></o>
b. Chassis dynamics are excellent andare better than the CX7.<o></o>
c. The chassey appears to have great tonsorial stiffness which is reflected in the overall excellent handling.<o></o>
