Hi, Im looking to buy a CUV for my daily driver. CRV is out because it has no soul. I like the forester XT but its too $$$, plus I stay away from CVT. New Rav4, maybe if it still have the old V6, pass. Ford escape, still considering.
I have focused on CX5, because: good gas, no cvt, fun to drive, I park in downtown garages so I want something that handles and is nimble.
Questions:
1) Are 2016 changes warrant to trump over getting a used 2015/2014? I prefer to keep my money down and not go for a new that approaches 30K
2) how is the road noise in the 2014/2015?
3) how does the cx5 handle wind, ie does it get knocked around?
4) are you satisfied with the awd system? my other car is a audi suv so that awd has me spoiled :/
5) how has the reliability been? I work 12 hour days so have no time to go back and forth to dealers.
thanks folks!
