Yea, wheel hop has to be atrocious. I'd have to change out the CV axles to stronger ones, and add a suspension as well immediately, which is a given when I buy/build a car like this anyways...

They aren't here, but only people I see driving CX-5s here are 50-70 year old ladies (sounds like a CRV huh), but I hear ya.
Introducing them right when folks got their phat tax returns probably helped too.
Best looking dent on any car I've seen.
Oh I know. Which is why I'm here.
Interesting results so far. I picked the 17 but now wish I could re-vote to 16 as it'll be a classic the more I think about it. Hard choice as both are nice with slight longer bonnet giving the RWD sporty look compared to the competition. I guess the 16 lines have more character and the 17 has better stance but more plain. Ughh.
I voted for 17 and still stand by it! (lol)

Agreed. It's the same with anything. With cellphones most people buy a "Galaxy" or an iPhone instead of HTC, or OnePlus when they're just as good. Researching is for sheep...
I had an HTC. Died twice, I think.
I have a Galaxy S4. Got it when they came out. Still works great. No need to get a newer phone at this time.

I've actually contemplated putting a WRX Vortex generator on top of mine. It looks like it honestly might fit perfectly. If it won't, an exacto knife will make it do so. I've seen enough YouTube videos to note that yes, it does make a difference, and with the amount of turbulence at that point, it may well improve highway mileage. IN fact...*heads over to Amazon.com*

I dunno. Let's not judge it yet. The Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual doesn't seem to have any issues, and it's an absolute sleeper of a car, trapping well over 100mph in the quarter. Surprises the hell out of people who don't know when it destroys their 99-04 mustang GT, WRX, EVO8, etc. from a roll on the freeway, I bet!

Seriously, if I can find a good fit vortex generator, one is going on my CX5.

I know, my mom has one...
Hey, I resemble that remark!
And I guess it's not really a dent in the door, as dents go in, This one pokes out, so that makes it what - a protuberance?

It's not a dent, it's stylistic lines.
