I know that the 2019 CX5 Turbo doesn't have paddle shifters (I wish it did) , but it could be shifted manually with the gear lever, correct? Being able to start up from a standstill in 2nd gear when in snow might be helpful. That 310 lb./ft. of torque is very appealing to me. Unless it's snowing. The intelligent AWD system is probably smart enough to limit torque, but it still might be nice to start in 2nd sometimes.
Thanks for any input.
