Where did you get your ratings from? They look pretty accurate and comparable to my go-to evaluation site, tirerack.com. Sounds like you got something perfect for your use case. I put a set of LX25’s on my wife’s RAV4 and she loves them. Great for the semi-winter conditions in Denver. I...

Congrats on finding such a low mileage unit! Should last you MANY years & miles.

With you 100% on this. Saw a rental truck with a smoke contrail just yesterday on the downhill slope on I70 from Lookout Mountain. Wasn’t sure whether to stay back or shoot ahead LOL. Since I was test driving a Genesis GV80 3.5T, I floored it and got way ahead. FWIW, a Mazda salesman told me...

I love the radar CC. Use it ALL the time, unless I’m cruising for < 1/4 mile or going downhill. On long, steep downhills, I find it uses the brakes more than I’d like. I absolutely minimize brake use on long down slopes by manually downshifting to maintain speed. Maybe it’s just a mountain...

Great advice.

Not to mention effective lane centering, available in other markets, the lack of which has me looking elsewhere for my next ride.

Have you checked your tire pressure? Cars are shipped with overinflated tires to prevent flat-spotting. Dealer PDI’s often forget this important check.

4/32nds is the legal minimum tread depth for Winter mountain driving in Colorado. Not sure what your driving weather is. Tires are not something to be cheap about. Much cheaper for a new set than the cost of a repair/deductible if you were to have a crash. Besides, the OEM Toyo’s are nothing...

I definitely wouldn’t. Incentives are from the manufacturer or regional distributor, not the dealer. Costs them nothing and doesn’t reduce their profit to pass it through. Arguably an advantage to them in making prices more competitive, increasing their sales. You can easily get this reduction...

I wonder if the premium leather on the Sig transmits even slower than the standard leather?

Well, I WANT a working version of that feature.

Congrats on your new ride. Sounds like you hit the sweet spot for your application and one of the best relative values in the CX-5 lineup. I, too, enjoy the Bose system. It’s not quite as good as the Dynaudio in my last car (07 VW Eos), but the bass is more than adequate. Gotta agree on the...

@johnhnhn See my post directly before yours.

Get quotes from every dealer in driving range and play the reverse auction game. Keep emailing each and watch the quotes drop. Eventually, after 3-4 rounds, all but one will drop out, and you’ll have a winner.

I overpaid for my 16.5 GT in Soul Red because it was the only discounted one in Denver. Could’ve saved $1500 if I would have taken the Deep Blue. I actually liked the blue, but my wife wanted Red, which I preferred anyway.

Try putting it in a spreadsheet. Here’s the Google sheet I used for my near miss this spring.

Not bad, 7.5% dealer discount, especially with a $75 dealer fee. Unless there a lots of GT’s in acceptable colors in your area, I’d go for it. If supply is good, see if other dealers will beat that discount (via email! Never go in until you’re ready to buy.). Think reverse auction via email.

Hard Hard pass. No dealer discount? You should get at least 5% off MSRP if not 8-10. Tell them to remove the Nitro and/or charge for it. Typical dealer ripoff.
