“Because the CX-5 has historically had engine and transmission problems?”
Could not prove that by me.
We’ve had a CX-5 and now a CX-3 with no issues at all. The CX-3 accelerates like a low-end sports car. Excellent fuel economy too.
The 2.0 turbo motors have had issues, and the CX-5s in the past had the same fail transmissions as the Escape. You can go look them up.
We’ve a CX-5 and a Miata, both of which have had no problems. Personally, I would touch a GM product with your 10 ft. pole.
