Huh? I assume this is the same system as in our 17 MDX. I find it to be good only at first glance, and pretty soon you realize its quite clunky and primitive. The Volvo system is miles ahead (presumably all the German ones too), even the "old" version in my V60.

Son must have got a good one.    Set it and forget it.  Easy toggle operation.  So smooth.  You should take your unit in for a check.

I remember I always ask for permission. If I did not in this case, sorry.

AN FCA product...AN...not "a". Otherwise spell it out. A Fiat Cries-slur blah blah blah... (right? It's like "Legos" - it's just fooking LEGO.)

I find it reacts badly when traffic cuts in. Too sudden. The V60 is much more natural. Maybe I am spoiled.

Its def better than the 2015 TLX I tested though, that one was awful.

I've not noticed this in my Lexus...unless you have the following distance set for very far..then of course it reacts when someone cuts in front of you.

The new Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV. A RWD-crossover that undercuts the Macan (and possibly the F-pace too?) in weight and price? You have my attention, Alfa

Of course it reacts somehow. They key issue is that the MDX reacts badly. Slams on the brakes when it's not needed.

Little itty bitty cars in general.

I was looking at a Chevy Matiz whilst looking at cars for sale in Malta and started thinking about what do we have here to feed my love of small cars with manual transmissions.

So was then looking at the Chevy Spark and now the Yaris hatch but tend to think the Yaris has grown too big to fit in this class anymore.


I always liked the Kei class cars so time to time my mind wanders.........

Supposed to be coming out with a 200HP version..

[ChaosphereIX]

perfect itty bitty car with tons of spunk and power?

Fiat 500 Abarth. A tune brings it to 200hp. Best sounding 4cyl turbo outside of a touring car. Not much competes in the segment except maybe the larger Fiests ST.

Isn't the Mini Cooper S the most obvious competitor?

I think I want an Audi S5 Sportback

That's a car I really wish was offered with a manual.

Buddy of mine is thinking of replacing his S5 coupe with one.

[mlin32]

I'd like a Peugeot 308 GTi. Slightly bonkers, but it's a hatch, and thus sensible.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I priced an A5 Sportback. Such a nice car.

That's an interesting take on the two tone color scheme. Surprisingly, I don't hate it.

[quadzilla]

There are now 10 different versions of the A/S5.

Checked out the A5 Sportback at the show and was very impressed with the space in the boot. Almost enough to sway me away from the Allroad.
