Super important, for grabbing that parking spot at the grocery store, before anyone else.
This was a quote from the CRV forum, "I found this thread and surprising I'm not alone on getting low mileage fuel efficiency.
Wow". I went ahead and read through the forum and yep, everyone is getting lower than estimated mpg numbers. Still early but all sounds to be right around the CX5. I know the CRVs numbers are inflated. Every new model always has inflated numbers and they eventually drop.
I remember when the new Ford Fusion Hybrid came out it was estimated at 47mpg. A year or so later it was 41mpg rating.

Honda Fanboys:
You need to use an Econ mode and not have a lead foot.
You need to wait for 30,000 miles before the car breaks in. Then you will be so bored as **** driving this turd you will never ever drive it hard and the mpg will increase.
Apples to Oranges.

The real question is what is the gas mileage when driving 90 MPH in the middle of the night in snow?
Invalid question.
Which family of fourTM does that?
Now if you were an exciting young at heart CX-5 driver who can deal with manually opening the trunk - that would be a valid question.
Which Moon Phase??
I'm much more concerned about having a lighted auto window button. How will I be able to open a window at night if I can't find the switch???

Again, please be a responsible poster! Lowering your number from $4,000 to $3,500 is not good enough.

Hey, everyone knows the CRV offers more amenities. It still doesn't drive like the CX5 though. If you care more about features then the CRV is obviously the better buy. But if you still care about driving, the CX5 is the better buy.

You forgot to add on 19" wheels for the Honda cost. The price you cited at the top for Touring is with 18" wheels. Top-o-the-line CX-5 GT comes with 19", so to get them to an even starting point, jack the CR-V up by another $2,265 for the bigger wheels.
Not to mention, CX5 comes with 19s, Honda charges 2500 for it. Please add that - also as stated CX5s HUD has more info than a BMW M4Again, please be a responsible poster! Lowering your number from $4,000 to $3,500 is not good enough.
And still no adaptive headlights.But there are two huge penalties you pay even if features even out yrwei - its a CVT. ITS A CVT!!!!!!
With that tiny turbo and CVT - you can kiss that 30 mpg combined good bye - so in effect its about 1~2 mpg less than CX5 for suburban drivers (Costs about $1400 over 10 years) - so the resale as I stated has to be about $1000 (MSRP difference) + $2500 (wheels) + $1400 xtra Fuel = $4900 more than 10 year old CX5 which is not happening.
So you have actually convinced me that CR-V over 10 years top trim will be $4900 more expensive than CX-5. Ofcourse i have not added any CVT tax to this which is about $120 a year so your total is $6100. I dont think your 10 year old CR-V will outsell a 10 year old CX-5 with 6100 dollars. Not happening.
Summary : You will pay $6100 extra driving a CR-V over 10 years and might recoup $700 or so more in resale. Net is 5400 loss

Mainly because the CX-5 fails to deliver in so many cases. If Mazda had just been honest, there wouldn't be nearly this much bickering. Take the Corvette for example. The only fuel economy threads you see there are "got 31mpg on my last road trip! WOOT!". Instead we get "you're a liar, mine hit 30mpg once!" and "No I'm not, I just drove 1500 miles and averaged 26.8" and so on, lol

I was just laughing at how you described the "speed" of something that I could fall asleep before hitting 60 in.

Not really. The older one did, but the 2017, not so much. And I hate anything "minivan" like, so obviously it's moved into the "contested" territory on style.

Friend of mine got a 2.0XT, actually, 2 friends own them. They get similar mpg to my CX5, maybe 1-2mpg less around town, similar on the highway, a touch less on 55-60mph roads in the country.
Silly unob, you complain about mileage now? Assuming there's nothing wrong with your cx5 you'd be lucky, very lucky to see a number starting with 2 had you sprung for that half baked (thats as nice as i can be) 'performance' cuv. Having owned (wifey) an 06 xt stick I simply can't express my disappointment with the current xt enough. Other than being quicker in a straight line the cx5 has it all over that rolling joke, ok that maybe a tad harsh.[/QUOTE]
