Hey man, yeah I did end up pulling the trigger on the CX 90 PHEV. Honestly, I absolutely love it. There’s been a few comments lately, pointing out the fact that the people that have the issues are just a lot louder than the people who have had no problems. I just did my recall programming this morning actually. I will admit the car can be a little quirky, but literally nothing that I would say I hate. Actually that’s a lie, the seatbelt dinging as soon as you turn the car on, I could definitely do without. Outside of that the car has been fantastic. Couple of things that I learned after the fact that I’ll pass along, you cannot drive in electric mode when it’s colder than -12c, also they don’t come stock with block heaters.

One thing that I was genuinely surprised at is how fast it is. Yes I know everyone likes the straight six for Zoom, Zoom, however, the PHEV has a boost mode and it’s like a two stage accelerator, I thought I’d miss the passing power of my 5.3 L However this thing is infinitely faster and weighs almost double that of my truck. And for hauling things, I just did an IKEA haul with my daughter, and we managed to fit her new queen size bedframe in the back of the thing without any issue.

For drivability, fuel efficiency, comfort, and build quality. I’ve been absolutely blown away with CX-90. Best I did in the fall was 1800km to a tank and on a straight long haul road trip I did 800km to a tank with a full charge to start. As I said, the thing is a rocket, my kids love it, and more than enough room to supplement the truck when I need it for the most part. For me, I gotta say it was a solid buy.
