( my brother in law was driving my XT.. and he wont give me my keys back

The XT is indeed a powerhouse in comparison, but the CX5 has better wheel control over bumpy roads, better rebound control and feels less tippy when you're pushing hard, despite having modest body roll.

The XT feels a bit unwieldy and not very stable, despite the stiffer set-up. It's a crapload better than the CR-V or RAV4, mind and it has lots of grip, but it's not as involving when you're playing fast and loose.

To make a long story short... you can tease the CX-5 into oversteer with a Scandinavian flick if you really try. The XT never really tempts you to go that far.

But the CX5 is nowhere near as fulfilling in terms of raw speed, admittedly.

Question, do kids with their rice rockets make eye contact? On the stoplight even theres a traffic jam...

Anyone knows subaru agent/dealer na hindi sugapa or transparent sa transactions. :-)

You might want to try my agent at Subaru BGC. His name is Marvin.

Suspension or brake parts for example will be priced differently from manufacturer to manufacturer.
