I was 22 when I bought my CX-5. Perfect mix of feeling sporty to drive, easy access in and out for me and my long legs, practicality with cargo space when I need it and AWD, and good looks and style.
As a one car house, ticks all my boxes for what I want out of a car I drive everyday, on road trips, bad weather, etc.
I'm in my 40s, but same deal. When I drive my Acura sedan that this replaced, it now feels bizarre to be so low, seating is less comfortable, can't haul things around, and have to strategize on how to get up the driveway after snowfall. I don't think there's any turning back for me.
