I didn't have to [test drive]. I can look at the specs and tell you how they perform.
Wow, there goes any credibility out the window.

Ford Escape is kuga internationally.

The Escape is a POS. It's very unreliable based on the numbers, it's slow, it has low capacity, it has poor economy, its...why would I ever buy that!?
I think the Forester 2.0XT would have been better suited to my wants, but I didn't feel like spending the money, and my CX-5 has done everything I wanted it to do, I just feel no connection to it. I have no emotions at all regarding it unless it were to break (kindof like a refrigerator or hot water heater).
Uno, you are a very strange fellow.

I bought a toaster on wheels. It didn't require a ton of research. You know what? I've kept it longer than any other vehicle I've owned in the last nearly decade, as well, and it still works great and I'm happy with it. Good buy was good.
Situation:
I live in an area where I plan on buying a house 20-30mi from work. Snow happens yearly. I may or may not buy a house on a gravel or dirt road.
Complication:
Gasoline will be expensive, due to quantity, and wear-tear on a vehicle will be amplified due to miles driven.
Solution:
I needed a cheap, economical vehicle with AWD and good ground clearance that got good mileage and was reliable.
It took all of 5 minutes to compile a short list/verify that the vehicle I was looking at fit on that list.
Anything it does above and beyond that, is extra. It doesn't really do much other than that, though, so I consider it a win, mostly. The mileage isn't as good as it should be, but it takes 87 octane and gas is cheap right now, so I guess I whine too much about it failing to deliver as advertised.

Where in NWA are you? Not really known as a snowy part of the state, LOL.
Why is it so hard for to believe I drive aggressively? Damn near hit 90 on the way to work this morning.Oh sweet Jesus.
This is worse than the Civic owners when I was in highschool (VTEC, YO! has been replaced with "SPORT MODE, YO!" Except VTEC actually did something to make the vehicle faster.).
This thing barely breaks into the 15's and won't even trap 90mph in the quarter.
You might as well tell us how sold you are on boxing after knocking a 2 year old down at the supermarket with "a single massive punch!" ROFL!
Just for shiggles I followed your link and happened to find this thread: 2018 Volvo XC60 vs 2017 Honda CR-V
Someone has been drinking the Kool-Aid over there! (rofl)
To the haters mocking my 'driving aggressively' in a cx5, obviously this is relative #1, #2 since when is blistering acceleration a requirement for taking corners at twice the posted speed?
This is true and small displacement turbos are known for thirst about as much as they are for efficiency potential- I can attest to..more potential particularly at a steady cruise but also more thirst potential on boost.
Uno, you are a very strange fellow.
Agree. And you've lost a ton of credibility, bro. No worries, though.
Calling the Ford a POS? lol It's better looking then the CRV. And a helluva lot faster...then every other
CUV.

Btw, I find it hilarious that you define horsepower as a deciding factor as to whether a vehicle can be driven aggressively or not. The 155hp MX-5 has a word for you. Once again, proving that you clearly lack the driving spirit and understanding that many of us have here. Yes, it's an SUV but I know you're driving home the whole hp point.

Umm no, I don't just 'look at HP'. But having only 184HP in a 3,500LB vehicle(which is why I added SUV). Who said anything about a MX-5? It's totally fine to have a motor with 150HP when its in a super-light roadster like the MX-5. Poor comparison IMO...
Funny right? Just don't catch him at a stop light, otherwise he might 'pop' into Sport mode on you(having flashbacks of Paul Walker activating NOS in his Eclipse in FF1) and leave you in the dust.
BTW a Civic and CRV are both faster than a CX-5 going @ 0-60.
