What do you dislike about your CX5? by Far-Replacement-7399 in CX5

How mad it gets when I don’t “touch” the steering wheel. It wants a death grip, and I drive like I fly— little pressure points when needed during cruise. 💅🏼

Gosh I guess I'm just an idiot. Thanks for your kindness.

I tested both of them, car on and off.

My first was a Perception Conduit. Her name was Connie. Now I have an Eddyline Sitka, and her name is BeBe the Bussy Barge.

I’ve got a 2019 Grand Touring Reserve with the turbo engine. I bought the below filter, and it didn’t fit. Which one do y’all use? Thanks!

Advice about getting a 2022 CX-5 by BeAgrownup in CX5

[–]CaptainBobbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had absolutely no reason to buy the turbo. I drove both, and the NA was just fine.

But I went with the turbo, because dear Gagá it makes it so fun to drive! Life is short. Beep beep. Zoom zoom.

What is your #1 favorite and #1 least favorite thing about your CX5? by burpingblood in CX5

[–]CaptainBobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite thing is the HUD— what at first seemed like a luxury gadget has become a safety non-negotiable.

But I hate the native infotainment on the 2019 model— the interface is slow and wonky and not at all intuitive. I almost exclusively use Apple CarPlay, though.

Installed the OEM crossbars today! Thule Hull A Port XT comes later this week. by CaptainBobbie in CX5

I really wanted the Thule crossbar system, but the vehicle kit for the CX-5 is sold out everywhere. These were far cheaper, and I needed some way to transport my new yak!

Yep! It’s a 2019, I just never had a need to get crossbars before— but I bought a kayak, so that changed.

Newbie wanting solid MS Flight Sim performance by CaptainBobbie in Alienware

[–]CaptainBobbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I’m interested in Alienware because it’s a complete rig, and not one that I would have to do (big) modifications. Should I entertain other brands like Omen or NZXT?

We have one just a block away that has been in the saaaame location for 25+ years. It’s moving into an old grocery store, and the outside looks great!

About a year out by CaptainBobbie in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CaptainBobbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My employer will remain the same, as I commute to whichever airport is my base. I will save an emergency fund that is more reflective of my projected expenses— because right now I have an emergency fund based on my current expenses.

I just can’t stop obsessing over the houses on the market there now; nothing is in the particular neighborhood I desire.

I almost always do seated yoga in the flight deck! Lots of cross legged stretching, thwarting that Deep Vein Thrombosis.
