Looking at buying a used 2014 or 2015 CX-5, either Touring or Grand Touring. Wondering how the interior holds up to abuse.
I have dogs, go hiking, and sometimes haul lumber and construction equipment. Picture a dozen 2x4's against the dash, bags of landscaping rocks, and a portable saw. Will the interior stand up to that? Guessing not......but how does it look once "broken in"? Is the leather thick or thin? Does the fabric pill? Do soft-touch plastics dent easily? Do hard plastics scratch easily and are the scratches really obvious?
I'm also looking at a 2014 Forester, but leaning towards the Mazda. However, if the interior looks like crap after a few years, but the Subaru instead looks like it has developed "character".....then I might lean towards the Subaru instead.
