- Mazda CX5 Touring with PEP
Was going to buy a WRX or Forester with the turbo. Something did not sit right with me on the WRX, could not put my finger on what it was. Then one individual asked me how I looked with a flat brim ball cap and ear rings because that was what he usually saw driving one like they were on their way to a road rally.
I never warmed up to the Forester either. I think it was the boring interior.
Next up was the Ford Fusion Sport, 2.7 V6 twin turbo 325hp, lots of torque, AWD, can be tuned to 400 hp safely making it a sub 13 second car. For what it is, just too expensive and it seemed that those that bought began spending more money modding the e car further. I could not get any dealer to go under $28k + tax, the depreciation was awful on the car, and it does not look like it will be around long.
Now I'm looking at the CX5. Owned only Japanese branded cars since 1984. The Mazda product just seems to catch my attention much more than others in the same price range. The 2017 interior is really well done.
