    New Member here: I just test drove a cx 9 signature - "dreadful A/C" is correct

I now have a smile on my face driving my CX-5 every...

    CX-5 takes the gold in Motortrends CUV test

    Thanks for posting! I love my CX-5 which now has about 10,000 completely worry free miles on it. What I am finding is more people that I run into who own CR-Vibrators, Ford ECOstuff, Toyota Rav's are all about buying an appliance that comes with stuff in it and will never understand or care...

    CX-5 Recall - What Are You Thinking?

    With all of the other negative Auto Manufacturer scandals out there (examples- VW premeditated "CleanDiesel" fiasco, Honda knew about the deadly Takata airbag bolts since 2004, KIA overstating mileage), it's refreshing to see an Auto Manufacturer be proactive before someone gets hurt. Cars are...

My snow tires have not arrived yet so we went with the OEM Toyo's still on. I am SO impressed with the handling of the CX-5! I...

    That's exactly what my son experienced, he has some long grades where he lives in Arlington and he saw 10 cars piled up at the bottom of his street...either way try to stay off the roads this weekend...it's usually the other drivers that are the issue...stay safe!
