Not sure if towing is in picture but Honda & Subaru are officially rated at 1500 lbs while CX-5 is at 2000 lbs.

The lease is ending on my '15 GT w/Tech and Mazda has been bugging me to consider my several options. I stopped in at a dealer today but he has no word on the arrival of the 2017's here. I also stopped at a Honda dealer to look at the 2017 CR-V with the 1.5L and turbo. I can safely say the interior window control buttons are illuminated on the Honda.
Hopefully I'll get a look at the 2017 Mazda at next month's auto show here in the Twin Cities. I like the styling of the Mazda over the Honda.

Yup. The fuelly numbers are pretty spot on. I average 26.4 MPG for my 60K+ miles. This weekend, I averaged 28.5 MPG at 80 MPG on a 250 mph trip. Very typical.

Never had LED lights, and BOSE has been hit/miss depending on the vehicle, but bro...auto-dimming mirrors are the bomb. I miss mine from my Jeep greatly. That said, you can get it installed for a few hundred bucks no-matter what trim level you buy, I believe.
I got it on my second car as part of the deal. Toyota dealer said cost was $400 lolol.

I forgot how annoying that was initially!
Yup, agreed.
Oh, I know the auto-dim is an option, but I never would have thought about getting it had it not come with the package! Just another one of those minor little conveniences that I never knew I needed until I had it.
I wish we could "like" posts here.
I'm already so attached to the "Commander knob"...it's been 2 months....I don't think I can own a car without it now. Seriously.

On a 45-minute commute I use the Main Commander knob and smaller volume knob no less than a dozen times adjusting volume, fast forwarding songs, scrolling to check on MPGs, dialing numbers, ect.
In something like the new CRV its missing that tactile feel of clicking/toggling/turning a manual Commander knob. Like my drive is missing a level of control I'm used to. Its dare I say... driving Infotainment stick shift
I use the buttons on the wheel. My display is turned off 75% of the time. I have an iPod hardwired with my songs. Its a 4th gen and i likely wont upgrade it. Also have a spare android phone to just plug in and play. I like the commander knob though. Its safe to browse through songs - safer than the touch screen.

I don't have sound but it looks like the classic case of the wrong tires for the job.
Yeah... the tires didn't appear to help at all. It almost looked like it was stuck uphill some and he couldn't rock it back out.
Might be some growing pains with new CR-V & snow though
"Although these are great selling points for families, the reality is that when the weather gets bad; and during the holidays in Qubec, the weather got seriously bad with freezing rain on Boxing Day followed by a massive snowstorm on New Year’s Eve, the CR-V’s sensors got all jammed up from being covered by snow and ice. This prevented any of its safety systems from actually working, and turning the gauge cluster into a Christmas tree."
