The popularity of models like the CX-5 makes them particularly appealing, while the overall condition and maintenance history can enhance valuation. Additionally, the presence of the SkyActiv-G engine can be a significant advantage, known for efficiency and longevity.

With a smaller dealer network, many owners rely on DIY mechanics, which creates a strong sense of community.
