I'm new to the forum and in preliminary stages of searching for a new vehicle. I live in a rural area and have a 40 mile (1 way) almost daily commute. I'd like a small SUV that handles well on narrow curvy roads, has a somewhat comfortable ride and gets about 30MPG on the highway. I've owned a Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4 in the past. Both were good vehicles, but somewhat noisy. I've never owned a Mazda but I am considering a 2017 CX5.
Can anyone compare the CX5 to Rav4 and CRV? Are the service intervals similar? I believe the CX5 gets better MPG's and may offer more options at a better price but I am concerned about excessive road noise and ride comfort. I test drove a 2012 CX5 back in 2012, and it was nice but didn't wow me. Any advice?
