We had a rental 2025 CX-5 Preferred with just under 1,000 miles on it last month. Put about 500 miles on it across three states. I concur with most of the OP feelings about the vehicle. Virtually everything about driving it is wonderful. I personally had no problem with the NA engine. Seats...

Have a 2020 Hyundai ELANTRA Limited for almost 5 years and 53,000 miles. Recently, the CVT (IVT) has been surging, slipping, and stuttering with poor acceleration. Noise, droaning and whining, have increased dramatically recently. No check engine light or other MIL to this point. Took it to...

I just noticed water leaking under my car. The a/c, while still blowing cold air, can”t keep up with the hot Arizona heat anymore. I just took a trip to Northern California and back and the a/c just isn’t functioning like it used too. Any chance the filter has something to do with this?

I’m also regretting my purchase of this filter but not because of any N95 labeling. It’s incredibly flimsy, and folds up upon installation. Last time I buy this one.

Only 900 miles in, but I’m very happy with them so far. Track straight as an arrow, are very quiet, and the ride quality is excellent.

They were not. If anything, I tended to keep them a little over inflated. All tires had even wear. Keep in mind that I do live in Phoenix, Arizona. Hot as hell here 7 months out of the year.

Got the tires installed today. Only about 50 miles so far but everything is fine as far as performance. Two possible points of interest: 1) The tires were made exactly a year ago. 2 For my size at the time of manufacture, they’re made in Brazil.

Thanks for the info slacktide_bitog and all. I decided to go with the General AltiMax RT43 225-45-17 94V. I’m buying from a Hyundai dealer that has buy 3 get 1 for $1 plus General has a mail-in-rebate through the end of the month for $50. This will make them less than buying the Nexen from...

I have apparently misunderstood your post. Thought you were asking why I was considering dropping to (V) rated from (W) if I wasn’t driving so fast?

Thanks for the welcome. Long-time lurker but haven’t posted in a few years. I’ve also heard that some shops will only replace with the original everything. On a 2007 Hyundai Sonata I had, I ordered the tires online and when I got to the shop the mechanic was concerned that I was dropping speed...

Simply because that’s the original speed rating of the OE tires.

I’ll be replacing the tires on my 2020 Hyundai Elantra Limited soon. I’m considering replacing them with (V) rated as opposed to the original (W) rated. Could this have any adverse affects on vehicle operation? I’m reading conflicting information online. Specifically, these two web pages: 1)...
