I've paid off the remainder of the loan on the CR-V. First step to getting rid of it.

woot woot!   

I never cared for the "title in hand", it just didn't mean much to me. But man it was a HASSLE to buy our current Odyssey as the guy had to pay the bank off, we had to get our payment to them to release the lien, etc... etc...

It was an Army guy who could get in trouble if I contact their commander, so I wasn't worried. But we drove it several weeks with his plates and registration while waiting for paperwork. :mask:

I dunno - It's a serious possibility. It would keep Mrs Minor happy, she drives the CR-V most of the time anyway.

Well - I got an auto loan approved. Just need to clean up the CR-V (it's in pristine shape) and venture out into the shark-infested waters of the Dealer Ocean.
We're thinking Mazda or Lexus.

I really like my Miata's interior and infotainment screen with the big knob instead of touchscreen. CX-5 looks somewhat similar.

Yeah, Mazda's taken a iconoclastic "fuck touchscreens, they're awful for safety" tack and I LIKE it.

They still have touchscreens, but they're built around using a center console jog wheel.

How does that work when you want to enter an address into the GPS?

Still seems easier, and less distracting, just to use a touchscreen.

Touchscreens are a huge safety hazard if your car's in motion. The concentration and fine motor control required to press non-haptic buttons while moving is too much for most drivers to handle.

I very much preferred the non touch screen in my Audi vs the touchscreen in my VW.

It's easier to hold onto the rotary knob than be precise with a touch screen while driving on bumpy roads

Yeah. And over time I built a habit of knowing exactly how many detents to turn the wheel, or where to push the joystick. With a touch screen I'm just a n00b every time. Mashy mashy.

From armchair research, the AWD CX-9 is attractive: good looks, bit of elbow room, not too massive, reliable. And it's fun... handles well - important on the roads round here.

Alfa uses the knob for infotainment... Wouldn't want it any other way

Discovery uses a knob to switch gears.  Wouldn't want to get them confused.

Oh yes - It's a good-looking vehicle.
We'll go out next week and start looking.

i see some rumors on the Interwebs that Mazda is going to switch to the goodness of a sharp-handling RWD platform. The idea is to step into the niche that BMW abandoned when they went softer and floatier.

This make sense to me - sprinkle a bit of the MX-5's magic dust onto the rest of the lineup.

The Explorer just switched back to RWD, but I don't know anything about good handling. I think there is an ST version.

It would be good to see Mazda make something in the mold of the Austin Healey 3000, as they make the MX-5 in the spirit of the Lotus Elan.

I took a trip one Summer, '75 i think, from TO to Rhode Island, top down all the way in my Spider, 70 plus on the thruway, wind blowing through my hair.  I swear by the time I got back that my hairline had receded by at least a half an inch.
