The effect of wet road depends on many factors, including vehicle speed, tire tread, texture of the road surface, and depth of the water. A slightly wet road actually has less rolling resistance than dry road (water acting as a lubricant), but deep water would have more resistance (like trying...

Retractable covers all look cheesy to me, and every time I see a car with one extended, I think, "They must be hiding something under that." A hard shelf simply looks like it's a normal part of the car. With a hard cover, I would probably have it in place 95% of the time, only taking it out when...

Does anyone here know if there's a vendor that offers a rigid, non-retractable cargo cover for the 2017 CX-5? This would be something like the cargo cover on a Mazda 3, a hard shelf rather than soft fabric. It's removable when necessary, and it looks much more like an integral part of the car...
