CRV wins again.
Reviewer sounds like one of the purist of pure CX5 owners who couldnt find anymore excuses to try and put the CX5 on top, even admitting the it towards the end:
"In the past, we...
top trim CRV Touring AWD is $34.5K IIRC.
comes with roof rails too. dont you have to pay accessory for that on the 17 cx5?
also capless gas filler. very cool and convenient.
android auto and apple car play in place. no speculating or praying that maybe in the year 2025 it will have it...
How does the 17 handle compared to the 1st gen? I skimmed through the pages but not much mention on it.
The CX-5's claim to fame was its handling compared to its competitors in previous years. Car & Driver has indicated the 17 CRV out handles said 1st gen up to 2016.5 CX-5.
So I would...
cds are dead. 17 crv also doesnt have one.
I have 3 kids have a beater suv fully decked out. i used the optical disc drive (plays cds and dvds) probably no more than 2x in the last 3 years.
same reason even laptops now are starting to no longer have optical drives. obsolete. probably people...
I personally LOVE the look of the 17 CX5, looks so much more polished and with the times and looks richer and more expensive than it is. Very sharp compared to 1st gen.
I hate the lack of new features compared to CRV 2017.
I'd love to have all the 2017 crv features/mpg/space in the 2nd gen cx5 body
To compete with the Nissan Rogue? But those rear seats are a joke for adults.
The mitsubishi outlander is the same class but now forgotten due to Misubishi's demise in reputation and brand popularity. But it too has 3rd row.
3rd rows in these class is questionable. unless its for very small...
Nissan as well doesn't have it. But out of the 3 (mazda, toyota, nissan).. Mazda seems to be making the most news about having it "soon"
Toyota I believe is firm about not conforming and trying to build on their crappy system entune or whatever its called. No idea what nissan thinks about it...
I can't speak on others who are being critical of Mazda and the CX5,
But for those who question why some of us are even commenting when we don't own the car....well its because we are potential buyers.
And despite what many here feel about Android Auto and Apple Carplay not being...
$37K for a CRV?!! I already got a few offer for top trim Touring AWD for $33K lol
as for it's mileage

"we average almost 40MPG on AWD 17 CRV Touring" highway WOW
but what does that have to do with anything? the fact that it has been in other cars for a few years now. Besides I recall someone here even say the CX5 and CRV are apples and oranges and don't even compete. lol I still laugh at that statement. Whoever that guy was, I'm still lol.
So anyways I...
The big thing is Android Auto blows away the infotainment compared to many other cars including all Mazdas with their crappy ancient infotainment.
True Android auto isn't that big of a deal by itself. it doesnt seem complicated... and it should be easy and should already be implemented in all...
its good to see the canadian model is identical or nearly wth the USDM market.
Imagine 17 CRV owners, the Canadian model gets PANORAMIC ROOF, AND HEATED REAR SEATS for the touring model. while the USDM only gets standard sunroof no panoramic option and no heated seats nor is there an option for...
