    Pet (and kid) Rear Seat Covers?

    I have tried many universal fit rear seat protectors, and this so far has been the best for me, especially with the super slippery leather seats in my GT cx5: EVELTEK Car Seat Covers for Dogs, Non Slip Waterproof Pet Travel Hammock Car Seat Protector for Back Seat With Side Flaps & Hammock...

    2017 Cargo liner for dogs

    Oh, it covers the sides! Dang I should have researched more, maybe I'll upgrade to that soon. Corgi hair gets all up on the sides. How does it stick? Velcro?

    Off Topic So slow I'm ashamed...

    2016 MBP with Touch Bar connected to an UltraFine 5K display is my daily driver. Gaming machine (and now Plex server) has an i5 4670k (w/ Corsair H60i) , GTX 760 and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance (DDR3 I think). Dual boots OSX and Win. All stuffed into this tiny thing. Still holds up well... but...

    2017 CX5 better "overall machine" than previous generation

    Problem is that is has a whole bunch of tech now - SCBS, MRCC, etc. I don't think much of this would work well with a manual trans? Either way I don't miss manual (almost all my cars lately have been up until now). As I get older, practicality has become more important, especially for a car...

    Alternatives?

    yeah, no in way in hell they can make it "mandatory" to buy an extended warranty or care care package. those sneaky bastards, they always tack that s*** on at the end.

    2017 Cargo liner for dogs

    It's been really great, no it doesn't rattle if you secure it well enough -- but i followed one of the amazon reviewers' advice and bought a $3-4 foam insulation tube from HD to go on top, to both dampen the vibes and protect headliner. only complaint would be that it can slip on the bottom...

    Alternatives?

    Same -- I will be taking mine to a different dealer for services for sure.

    Alternatives?

    To what end? This particular dealer is known for shady practices, especially in their services department, so I doubt anything would change. I seriously considered unwinding, but at that point my trade had been sold (in WA you can sell a trade before a spot delivery clears), so they would have...

    Why are 2017 Cx-5 selling so close to msrp?

    I leased my 2017 GT for ~30k after trade (before TTL), with ~21k residual value (price I can buy it at end of lease). Payments are $278 Not a great deal (on my trade), but lesson learned. I can tell you where not to buy from via PM.

    Alternatives?

    Careful with these packages. Short story here on my 2017 CX-5 GT: For me, I declined the car care packages and the dealer said "ok, well I'll give the packages to you for free, sometimes we do this for every other customer that comes in. Just let me get manager to write-off on it." Manager...

    Touch Up Paint for Soul Red Crystal

    Hey, looks great! I got the same kit as well, didn't do my reserach before finding out the 2016 red is different than 2017 red. But I agree, they are pretty close. Quick Q, I only did like 2 coats and it didn't fill in very well.. I eventually put it away for another day. Going to give it...
