Lease on Casey's 5 is up in a couple of months so we went to test drive an 18 cx9 and an 18 cx5.
They gave us the keys to a 9 signature for the weekend.
Holy wow, 9 > 5 and it should be for the price difference. Even in 2 years they stepped up their game.
Compared to the 18 cx5, the 9 is quieter and rides nicer, but didn't lose much of the feel of the 5. IMO nothing beats either for their cost.

So after having this for the weekend we are probably gonna ditch the 5 for a pearl white with black interior GT. When the time comes.
We probably won't go Signature. The GT literally has everything the Signature has minus the Leather color, rosewood trim and LED light surrounding the front grill.
It's $2k more, and I love the interior, but when leasing, the residual value is like 7% lower than a GT, and the black leather is still great.
Also, still in talks with the dealer in Mass. May not happen, they are a "No Haggle" dealer, but mileage and options for the price is still on point. We will see.
That's it prior to getting detailed....![[Image: 4aef50b425610fd4a3dbd73d9ebce733.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180311/4aef50b425610fd4a3dbd73d9ebce733.jpg)
