Hi all,
Just wanted to say hi and I'm glad to be here.
Just took delivery of a 2018 (built in September) Touring with preferred equipment in machine grey.
My CRV that I traded in was also a 2018 with just under 6k miles. As some of you may know there are some serious, real issues with the latest CRV (oil dilution and lack of cabin heat). I personally did not experience this issues to the degree of some but enough to know I wanted out. The main reasons I traded was after a while the turbo and CVT was not ideal for me. I could not see owning it long term.
With that said, I got a great deal on the CX5 and great trade in value on the CRV so all is good.
I must say, this is one of the best vehicles I've owned and each day it's more fun to drive. I know I'll find quirks but for now I'm very happy and excited for long term ownership. It's also one of the best colors in my opinion. I almost got black but changed my mind once I saw the machine grey. Much more fun to drive than the CRV and has performed well at low temperatures.
I'll be seeing you all around!
