So you compared the CX-5 and not the CX-50? In Canada the Meridien edition is fully loaded (I'm talking Bose, Ventilated seats, wireless charger, anti-glare hood etc.) For the price, for me, I get a lot more out of the CX-50 other than the 1 inch ground clearance(he says it's 8.3 inch clearance but I believe it's 8.5 inches.) There are two analog dials (gas/temp and RPM) to the left and right of the speedometer. I needed something to get me through all the gravel roads around a secluded part of northern Canada and I felt the CX-50 was generally safer to do this in. I fumbled with the HVAC and countless controls on that touchscreen in the Subaru. I preferred all the buttons and dials for HVAC, heated seats/steering wheel, ventilated seats in my CX-50 Meridien. The tried and true powertrain in the CX-50 and Mazda's great attempt at a luxury interior is what really sealed the deal. I couldn't do a CVT transmission.

We love it too!

Yes! This is the steel gray color.

Should come out the next model year from what I heard

Yeap

You are correct, apologies for that! 😭

my Brother has a 2023 model, freakin UGLY....Whats with the Rubbermaind around the wheel wells ? 🤮

@@trevoursamudacollections5796 dude. The wheel wells. The sluggish acceleration. The absolute joke of an infotainment system. Fixed my mistake in 87 days. Horrible car, but the fan boys are like "ohhhh the engine potential" ... while minivans with more HP pass them

@@ChippyT. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍✌

@@ChippyT. 🥲😭😭

bet you went with CVT option...

What did the outback do better than a RAV4 or CRV for you?

@@caminuyu for me it’s the engine power (260hp for my XT trim), cargo space and Subaru’s all wheel drive system.

I have driven Subarus for years. My twin brother also drives Subarus. His Subaru legacy has 225,000 miles. I have never had any issues with oil burning with my Subaru Foresters. BTW--these all use the same boxer engine. I drive a base model 2020 Subaru Forester. The seats in the Subarus are way more comfortable and higher quality than the Toyota. I have test driven the toyota-------the seats suck and are uncomfortable. The Subaru fits taller men better than the Toyota. I'm six food six tall. I could see out of the Subaru windsheild better than the toyota---better visibility. Now, I don't drive like a maniac and neither does my brother. You don't abuse a boxer engine. I drive it like an old man, smooth, easy and never abuse my Subaru. In four years, just have had oil changes, filter changes and tire rotations, etc. The normal maintenance stuff. This is my second Subaru. My brother is still on his first Subaru Legacy. After 225,000 miles, my brother's Subaru Legacy has not engine leak issues. His is still running like new.

​@garydmercer how much leg room do you have in the back seat? My son is 6'4"?
