Help Me Buy A Car Thread v.ScottyB: WITNESS ME BROTHERS

[WRXtranceformed]

I like all the people who have never tried to put an infant car seat in a CX-5 or load an infant in a coupe opining about what will or won't work.

I like all the people who have never owned a CX-5 opining about what will or wont work in a CX-5.

I used an infant seat in a cx-5 every day for almost 2 years cumulative (and a rear face convertible for 6+ years) and it worked great,  including 8+ hour road trips.   But tell me about your drive around the block.


fun fact:  
Convertibles are often bigger than infant seats,  because while they dont have as much recline angle,  they are bigger/longer in general to fit your kid as they get bigger (and its an arms race to fit the widest range of weight/height)

another mode of transportation that is somewhat versatile, reliable and doesn't completely suck to drive. 

You know the answer.  There is a reason the car mags love them



fast enough but not fast,  unless you spring for a new one with the turbo.  
17k should get you a 2016 grand touring still under warranty.

Very timely you posted that as I came across some super favorable reviews of these today and hadn't even thought about them.  The new motor definitely seems like the best way to go, but i wouldn't mind having two Mazdas in the garage
