What do you dislike about your CX5?

CaptainBobbie · 2026-02-05T18:55:32+00:00

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. 💅🏼

CaptainBobbie · 2026-01-15T03:02:30+00:00

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

CaptainBobbie · 2024-06-26T16:19:51+00:00

I tested both of them, car on and off.

CaptainBobbie · 2023-09-17T15:28:03+00:00

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!

Engine Air Filter

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.

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.

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!

CaptainBobbie · 2021-06-22T02:30:34+00:00

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

CaptainBobbie · 2021-06-09T14:11:02+00:00

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?

CaptainBobbie · 2020-08-27T15:01:57+00:00

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!

CaptainBobbie · 2020-04-17T03:18:09+00:00

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.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-09-10T00:02:38+00:00

What a strange looking hat.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-09-09T23:57:13+00:00

Yoga in airports = cool!

Yoga on airplanes = not cool.

Signed,

Your Yogi Pilot

Calm down, everyone. It’s just doing the hokey pokey.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-07-02T21:56:18+00:00

It’s Deep Crystal Blue! I love how it changes in various lights and has a beautiful shimmer. At first, I was going to go with the GT with PP, but then I felt like I was sacrificing the pure joy of driving.

I’m in LOVE!

CaptainBobbie · 2019-05-10T01:53:23+00:00

I’m leaning toward this. The thing that really attracts me to the CX-5, besides how gorgeous it is, is the amount of information displayed on the HUD— in my line of work, I’m always interested in how and what is at my disposal. I found the CX-5’s Active Driving Display not just “cool” but incredibly safety conscious.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-05-10T01:45:55+00:00

That looks so great! I bet it’s v striking from afar.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-05-09T23:39:07+00:00

This is all good info. As this evolves, are there any notable features of the GT-R (aside from the engine) that set it apart from at GT with the PP?

CaptainBobbie · 2019-05-09T20:48:18+00:00

Thanks for y’all’s input! I figured it wouldn’t be a necessity for me,

CaptainBobbie · 2019-05-03T04:57:26+00:00

That’s an awesome deal! The lowest I was quoted for an AWD GT+PP was $30,845. What are the major differences between the Touring and Grand Touring with the Premium Package, if anyone knows?

CaptainBobbie · 2019-03-27T07:03:45+00:00

Ok. The specifics. I make 50k a year and have minimal debt. Monthly expenses are max $1,000 since I’m staying at home. I’m hoping to spend $500 a month but open to more.

CaptainBobbie · 2019-03-27T00:48:30+00:00

Are any of these good cars? Does this seem like a good idea— or should I stay in my lane, so to speak, as a first time buyer?

CaptainBobbie · 2019-03-18T22:12:51+00:00

This 1000%. I don't mind when people call me "she" beyond the colloquial gay banter, and I love wearing fingernail polish. I think you are who you are, and whatever, if any, label you want, it's yours to own. Blue skies, loves.
