    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Touchscreen functionality while driving works on Subaru outback. Is it really a liability issue? It really makes it a hassle to be able to search, move the map and zoom in and out efficiently. Sometimes I'll just pull up my damn pbone. That sounds more dangerous. This is 2018 ffs. Also one...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Just look at the numbers. His out the door price was essentially the same as msrp. If taxes are 7%, he at least got 7% off MSRP maybe more given document/titling fees. This is a good deal.

    2017 CX-5 "Grand Select"
