Well, I learned bugger all from that review. It was incredibly snowy we are told, so how did the revised AWD handle that? Then we are advised the six speed hunts. Since it certainly doesn't in the 6 turbo, why here? And that's about it for the review which appears to have been written in a bad temper.
Normally TTAC reviews suck, but their review of this CX-5 turbo is about 10 times more informative than this weak sauce copy. And they specifically mention the transmission doesn't hunt
Like Lebowski, I run an old LGT. I was prepared to put up with an FWD 6 turbo, because out of the multitude of general rubbish out there which I've driven, it seemed like the nicest to drive without paying German car prices. Now comes this turbo CX-5. The regular CX-5 my in-laws have I find numb, but I can clamber in out out without torturing my knees. Can I stomach crossover numbness to get AWD? This thing also costs more than a 6, but is only a jacked-up 3.
Then there's the comments. Off on a daisy picking tangent in the main. If I wanted to futz around with phones and internet all day long instead of drive, an Elantra would suffice. Why waste money on anything nicer? You'd never know the difference.
