I find the CRΛp discussion all over this forum quite tiresome
It's like someone can't help but quip "but CRΛp" in every thread

I got tears in my eyes. (ok not really). Well written.
My buddy has a bright yellow FJ. That thing is pretty sweet, I gotta admit.
Ok, I swear to stay out of any CR-V discussions from this day forward.

We were almost late to my daughter's lesson this afternoon, so I was driving a little aggressive. Turned a corner with ease but pushed it a little too hard I guess, I heard the tires screeched for a split second, sped up just to tail the car in front driving at 37-38mph on a 45mph-limit street. My daughter in the back went: "urgh, CR-V again". That was priceless.
I drove mostly Honda (Accords, Civic), but didn't know driving could be this fun until I get to drive the CX-5. I'm glad Mazda is making the CX-5 attractive, I hope everyone will give it a try, you won't know if there's a driver in you until you actually try it. To paraphrase Anton Ego from Ratatouille: "not everyone is a driver, but a driver can come from anyone"
Another thing that surprised me was that the CX-5 seemed to know that I was driving aggressive, and it stayed in the low gears a little longer. I was so surprised that I had to look at the dash to make sure I didn't turn on Sport mode by accident. After tailing the CR-V for about 30 seconds, it behaved normally again, I hope I didn't abuse it too much.

Nice. LOL
I rarely see people driving these types of vehicles very aggressively. Being in front off the line is me, too Although I saw one tonight. Black newer RAV4, finally caught up and see it's a 28-32 year old female. I would have had to dust her, if it wasn't my left turn. Ha!

LoL, a good car encourages its driver to misbehave for sure

Check you tire pressure cold when you can. Usually low tire pressure equates to screeching in aggressive turns. My CX5 will handle extreme sharp curves at speed with no tire slip or screeching as long as the pressures are properly set. I follow the recommended 36lb's on the door jamb.
