It doesn't matter is it's a driveway or a large housing development - if you require a special permit (in other words, permission to break the law), abutters have the right to voice their opinions. The zoning violation here is parking in a setback and landscape buffer. The driving experience is basically identical to that of the CX-5 which is to say, pleasant.

Stanley Steamer The driveway was a special permit, which means it does not comply with zoning, which allows the nimbyism to happen. The turbocharged engine has plenty of power to get up to speed without drama, and while the six-speed automatic is down a few cogs from some competitors, it shifts smoothly and feels very well matched to both the engine and the nature of the CX-50.You have to justify the cost in terms of time, gas, environment, wear and tear, and risk to life and limb. IE, if you want me to spend more than 30 minutes in the car, there had better be something special at the destination.

That car with a more modern interior and a more refined engine/trans would be just about my idea of the perfect luxury coupe. It soaked up the bumps in the road like nothing else. It had the best ride of basically any car I've ever driven.
