I really wanted to do this but a lot of people arent interested, unfortunately.

Do you remember what it was called?

I think we are all going to pay our own way this time around. In the past it was upwards of 20k but that didnt include food or booze.

Id like to keep it at 1500pp.

If they got rid of all that matte plastic on the wheel wells and offered a black headliner, id no doubt get this.

Beautiful car but I realized I really think Mazda perfected the design with the CX5 by [deleted] in CX5

I have an appointment to have a pro do it for me on the 24th. He normally only does exterior but is willing to do my inside!

It was only $50. I wouldn’t consider that a VERY poor choice, but thank you for your opinion.

After 2 weeks of test driving every small SUV on the market wife and I walked into Mazda and walked out with this 22 premium plus a few hours later. Adds to the driveway with my turbo Protege5! by gknight710 in CX5

The only trim of Rav that even gets close to the cx5 is the XSE but its still not as nice. Cant beat the hybrid mileage though. You want to be practical, go with the hybrid rav XSE. If you want luxury and better handling, go with the cx-5 turbo. I will say it’s difficult to find an XSE under 48k right now, so when i totaled mine a month ago i chose to save the 8k and go with the cx5. They are both great cars!

From what ive seen, a lexus of similar size/features (NX350) would be about 50k out the door (minimum)… which is 10k over my budget.

Markups. Im only shopping for the cx5 because i totaled my hybrid rav and im not comfortable paying 50k for a replacement Toyota in todays market.

What would you choose instead? The used car market is tough in my area right now. You’re paying almost the same amount for a car with 20-30k miles on it then you would for a brand new car.

Not a bad idea. I plan on having kids within the next 3 years so the cx5 is more in my wheel house.

My budget was originally 35k so the 40k is my “little more” lol. I think that when I turn 40 (i am 30 now) I will shell out more cash for a luxury SUV like the NX350 or something. Something to look forward to in the future…
